Very interesting.

Sprited Demon top of pack

A classy midfielder/forward from the Perth Demons. Here's his Inside Football pen picture:

Dean Kent

Perth, WA

DOB: 24/2/1994 . Ht: 180cm Wt: 81 kg.

He is a physically strong boy from Northam and he's very elusive with a great side step. A long kicking left footer who was the winner of the Jack Clarke medal for the best player in the WAFL Colts competition this year. He is a prolific ball winner off a high half forward and everyone was scratching their heads as to why he wasn't selected in the State under 18s. He has the ability to go into the midfield down the track as he hasn't reached his potential endurance wise yet - Wayne Langbourne, Perth colts coach.

We chose the class of Jimmy Toumpas ahead of Oliver Wines' strength and toughness. This choice gives us a player who can play strongly inside. Not exactly a Wines but would have pleased Mark Neeld with the way he plays.

The last time I got that feeling about a player from watching a highlight package it involved a boy from Dodges Ferry.

#82 Port Adelaide (Via Adelaide) – Dean Kent (WA – Fwd/Mid)

Height: 180cm, Weight: 81kg, DOB: 24/02/1994

Recruited from: Perth

Style:

Player comparison: Alex Fasolo

Range: 30-rookie

Profile: Very unlucky not to make the WA state squad. Powerful inside ball and is a big time clearance player who shines at stoppages. Inside work is just so effective and can be a serious difference maker with some of his inside work. Kent is a big time accumulator and getting is better as the season goes. Kicking ability very good and has some penetration and hurt factor but is very kick happy. Seems to have some selfishness in his play but that in no way takes away from the quality of his play.

PLAYER ASSESSMENT

Has excellent game sense and ability to read the play, is also a prolific ball winner whether playing through the midfield or across half forward. His ability to penetrate on his raking left foot poses a real threat to opposition teams. Can be very dangerous up forward and kick multiple goals with his creative play. His standout game was a 30 possession, 10 marks and 2 goals performance in Round 6 vs Subiaco at Colts level. Winner of the 2012 Jack Clarke Medal for the WAFL Colts Best & Fairest player.

# 66 Hawthorn

Dean Kent

Perth

180cm / 81kg / ‘94

WA midfielder who have only seen a little of but would have to be one of the better WA mids going around. What I have seen suggests he is little like Luke Parker at same age albeit probably spends not as much time in middle. Strong bodied HF / midfielder who excels at getting his hands on the ball at the stoppages, get away quickly from the contest and seems to put to good advantage. Also has the ability to get his hands on the ball often having averaged 20+ possessions at Colts level. Has a weapon insomuch has a raking left foot but he isn’t 180cm plus and I think that might hurt him a bit as well as the fact he didnt get a National DC invite which suggests to me the jury is still out on him but he fits the bill. Would they redraft Schneider or Osborne here?

Very positive info there!!

Yes, this has "hardest team to play against" written all over it:

"Dean Kent is just a unit. I can't believe he didn't make the 18s squad. He is a tough nut and has a booming left foot. Was reported in the 3rd for high contact but I think he'll get off. A very solid physical player who I rate highly."

The club got vision up very quickly.

Must have been very keen on him.

Sounds very good.

There's your potential inside mid for those who wanted Wines.

If the AFL draft tracker is any indication, they wasted no time in calling out his name either. There was zero pause time for any of our picks actually. The club knew who it wanted and picked without hesitation. Frankly, with the amount of preparation that goes in to the draft these days, I'm surprised that isn't true for all the clubs.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
