Bernie interview too

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Is it true that he can't kick more than, max, 40 meters? I just want to know what to expect when he's having set shots; cause all the ones I have seen have been putrid.

he may not be able to kick more than 40 metres, but he (kent) cna bloody kick a goal!

I am truly sorry to disagree with you Song.

But he is average on his good days.

Thanks - appreciate it.

I am with TDI and others.

Fitzy has something and I bet the coaches know it. 200 centimeter athletic players that run like a gazelle dont grow on trees. Hes already shown a great goal sense and blistering pace.

Hes showed flashes, and I bet he will put it all together within 12 months,

I bet he wont. he has had longer than most to prove, and from the first time I saw him at training to now thought he would never make it. he just doesn't have the football ability. blistering pace means nothing if you cant get the pill.

Franklin was 2nd year last year for contested marks with 51 only behind Hawkins who had 56...

I'm with TDI on this - up until recently Franklin was not renown for his contested marking - fantastic on the lead ( so quick for a man his size) and as long as he could get the ball on the ground - he would tear you apart because he has great ground skills.

edit - I am renounda fro correcting my mistakes

reknown? c'mon nut, wrong on multiple counts

renoun ? renarn? renhourn ?ok....renown....my fingers got sooo carried away

[daisycutter 28,681]

renoun ? renarn? renhourn ?ok....renown....my fingers got sooo carried away

try "renowned"

[Gator 16,921]

If you're 200 cm with awkward skill sets you need intensity and aggression to excel at AFL level, otherwise you're an occasional gap-filler. Fitzpatrick is handy depth at best.

They've given him a chance down back, because they've stamped his papers elsewhere.

[nutbean 8,837]

try "renowned"

almost got there - do you know i was sitting in a freakin management meeting for last 40 minutes and got the cold sweats because I realised I had left the "ed" off renowned.

I have seriously got to get a life.

So how do you manage freakin?

[daisycutter 28,681]

sounds like he freakined it

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

I am truly sorry to disagree with you Song.

But he is average on his good days.

Dean Kent? You think he is an average player? serious? Did you see him last season, especially his second half of the season? You crazy man.

[nutbean 8,837]

So how do you manage freakin?

its legitimate....

OD and Song, only issue I have with Kent, uses his right leg to stand on only, reckon if he can get fit and firing could be the breakout this year, just needs a run without injury

[ManDee 7,093]

So many anal types, makes me feel quite at home.

No you morally corrupt vagabonds I was referring to anal retentive.

i resemble that remark

Could not make the top ten in the B and F in 2014.

That is in a team that finished second last with four wins.

He is an average AFL player at this point.

[3Dee 1,153]

13 games last year (for 12 goals in low scoring team), just turned 21, quick & much needed grunt.

?

[Maggot 1977 263]

I like Kent

[daisycutter 28,681]

I like Kent

that's nice maggot although we really didn't need to know, but what about dean kent

Edited March 26, 2015 by daisycutter

[old dee 22,980]

I like Kent

I don't mind him either I just think he is an average player.

[Pennant St Dee 11,467]

Dean Kent? You think he is an average player? serious? Did you see him last season, especially his second half of the season? You crazy man.

Dean Kent is currently an average player

Dean Kent has the tools and potential to be a very good player

Dean Kent does not work hard enough to 1) create options 2) create space for a team mate 3) Gut run with his direct opponent

Basically Dean does not work hard enough when he doesn't have the ball

Impressive highlight reel, but the only thing preventing Kent from being a very very good AFL player is Dean, he has all the tools it up to him to put in the required effort, otherwise in 5 years time we will still be talking about what he could be

[nutbean 8,837]

I don't mind him either I just think he is an average player.

Therein lies the problem - we have what you could describe as a few good footballers. Then we have a whole lot of could be, should be and would be footballers. Has Kent shown that he could be a more than handy footballer ? Absolutely - but at this stage he hasn't done it on a regular week in week out basis. I am far from writing him off. I just am waiting for the day that all these footballers who could be really good actually deliver on the promise.
