Young West Australian mid sized forward who could develop into a midfielder in the future. Showed some good improvement through the season.

    I agree with that dazzler. Needs to build his tank, find more football and improve his awareness, but these will develop with experience and another pre-season or two. Has a lot of the right ingredients to be a very good 'modern-day' mid with grunt, run and a hint of agro.

    Really like this kid - can't afford to stuff this one up.

    Hopefully this is a new era where we turn talent into stars.

    Love how he backs himself, provides pressure and has a nice kick.

    I see him as an outside mid or wingman

    He impressed me this year.

    Perhaps a rich mans Luke Tapscott?

    Needs to work on his set shot for goals. They were diabolical.

    BBP please don't mention him in the same sentence as Tapscott.

    We both want Kent to improve don't we?

    Haha sorry,

    My point was that we wanted Tapscott to be that dynamic, tough and exciting half forward flank that kicked the big goals.

    Kent looks closer than Tapscott in respect to the above.

    I agree there is way more chance of success with Kent than you know who.

    It was a small joke by the way as we do need the other one to fire up as well.

    Love that on several occasions I saw him have the confidence to try and shrug off a tackle, and the strength through the core to actually do it. Not many first year demons we've been able to say that about recently.

    Bot of a find in Mr Kent

    Another preseason, some good coaching ...and who knows.

    Showed a little more than something.

    Not quite there yet, but on the way perhaps :)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
