Via Ben Guthrie's Twitter: "Dean Kent to have hamstring tendon surgery this week, which will rule him out for 10-12 weeks. Nev Jetta (concussion) will miss against Freo"

Such a shame. Was really starting to look at home in that defensive forward role. Will be missed greatly.

When he does a hammy he does a hammy good.

[censored] news. Really really [censored] news.

That's half a season ruined because he was the only player chasing 3 opponents.

Never should have even been in that situation.

He's been very important for us, and I hope however get the lucky break to replace him does a good job. He'll be sorely missed.

 

S**t,I was looking forward to seeing some more ragdolling from him this season.

That sucks big time.

Though he was one of our best till he hurt himself.

That said, just had another aftershock here, so no longer upset about this.

Where are you?
 

FMD 10-12 weeks for a hammy that is absurd

It's really not - there are a lot of ways to "do a hammy" and it would seem Kent suffered one of the worst ways.

I'm really disappointed for the guy. He's been pretty unlucky in his attempts to string together a good run of footy. 10-12 sounds like forever.

Good luck, hope you are ok.

10-12 sounds like forever.

In reality the season is almost a write-off.. these estimates are nearly always shorter than the reality and then there is a couple of weeks at Casey probably. Might get a few more games at the end. Bugger.

Good luck, hope you are ok.

All good here, though the nerves are shot, having the wife and kids doesn't help with that. Need our next game to hurry up as could do with a good dose of shouting at the maggots!

We showed after half time that we can play great footy without him, but this still sucks. His defensive pressure had been first rate this year.

Who does this open the door for? Toumpas is not really fast enough to play the role. Bail will probably be a mainstay now.


Bugger :(

A full and a speedy recovery lad.

Was a standout in the first quarter and set the physical benchmark for the rest of the team.

I though we were looking a little slow and overawed at the start of the match - not Kent though.

He's a big loss, but this has to be an opportunity seized by Michie, Toumpas, or JKH to cement a spot in the 22 over the next 12 weeks.

Almost a whole season, tough to get fitness back up again during the season. He was looking like he was just about to pop and be a real asset week in week out.

All good here, though the nerves are shot, having the wife and kids doesn't help with that. Need our next game to hurry up as could do with a good dose of shouting at the maggots!

stay strong Mate.

Go Demons


If a hamstring tendon it must be reattached or sutured up strong

It attaches under the glute in to bone so its not as quick to heal as a muscle tear

Stay safe dude.

damn that's bad news but it did look bad at the time but I was hoping for 6-8w. as we know there is no quick fix for hammys unfortunately, only time and very careful management. he has an explosive style of play so this will be a major consideration in injury management. cannot afford for it to happen again in the same spot. hammy's also worry me more than knees in terms of the inherent weakness of having a bad one and the liklihood of recurrence. would be a disaster to rush him back for any reason although with the demons careful injury management this is unlikely.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
