Dean Kent Midfielder 2015?

He's way off that at the moment and very overrated here on output to date. 2015 will be the make or break year for him.

Rjay you are probably right but I did like a couple of those hard running goals and the two boundary line square ups to Macca in the last game. He also has a good build and some speed and his cameos stood out this season because we have a list so full of vanilla flavoured NQR players. Fingers crossed he can make the jump up to the next level

    Garlett will add a lot as a forward pocket with great defensive pressure. I think Kent's better further up the ground anyway, so I'd be looking to push Kent up past half-forward and into the middle and keep Garlett closer to goal with the dual purpose of kicking goals and pressuring defenders.

    His last game for the year was a nice teaser of what's in store.

    How's the collect and snap for this third?

    He's certainly got a few things going for him and I've liked some of what I've seen but I think he stalled a bit this year probably because of early injuries.

    Showed some good things at times but will need to be able to do it as a hhf/mid and on a consistent basis, he's not a small forward. 2015 is a really big one for him.

    maybe but that'll mean Viney has stalled too.

    I see it as he is a second year player who didn't have a preseason and didn't have a tank.

    He is quick, strong and has clean hands. His kicking is generally good but he did miss some targets under little pressure (lack of concentration that Roos speaks about?)

    He doesn't get enough ball but is that linked to his lack of engine or pure game smarts. Not sure but he is a good prospect IMO.

    I really hope he builds a tank and makes it as a midfield. He is different to our other MFC mids.

    I rate Dean Kent second only to Jesse Hogan on our list in terms of players I think have what it takes to become top 1% elite AFL players. That's not to say either one of them will make it that far, but they definitely have the tools. I'm excited to see what 2015 has in store for them.

    Surely one of the highlights of year.. Still gives me goosebumps

    That was such a good goal to watch live. The crowd absolutely loved it. I loved Jordie's effort to get it going

    His second half of the season showed more than his first half, and one could argue that a limited pre-season was the reason for this. Did well at Casey before his call up, and is a hard runner.

    The bottom line is that the Demons midfield is going to be much to crack into in 2015, as will our best 22. Kent is a player who will have to work hard to make sure his name is on that best 22 list. I can see him taking greater steps forward, and has one unique skill most of our list doesn't have. PACE!!

    Love the guttural roar of the crowd as the ball went through the goals. Almost like a come from behind win against Essendon meant something

    I believe the midfield had always been the plan for him.

    Very limited this season by his preseason injury but he has pace, a mighty left foot and a real arrogant streak which I love!

    What's his right foot like? Onballers really need to be able to distribute on both sides of the body. It's OK to have a dominant side, but without the option of going the other way it can severely limit their effectiveness.

    Yep, where does all the love come from? He mixes one or two excellent acts a week with a dozen that are utterly mediocre. He's got some ability for sure, but he's a long way from being a decent AFL footballer at present.

    Where does all the hate come from? He has played 13 games, give the kid a go. Jeez a bunch of you have become bitter and want instant superstars.

    He has speed (which we desperately need) and can kick a goal, once he builds up his endurance I can see him playing more time through the midfield. Obviously the coaches think he has potential as he played the last 10 games of the year.

    Fox footy had a review of the season program where they went through the highlights of each round and the best marks and goals of the season. For some reason kents goal didn't feature in the best goals segment.

    I'm excited about Kent. His last game against North was excellent! 3 goals and 2 others delivered to TMac.

    • 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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
