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.

So long as he is fit for finals.

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!

Just consider yourself lucky not to banned from the site because nobody questioned what you reported but instead, your boorish, spoilt brat behaviour in attacking KC who was reporting on the game and

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
