Surely he is misquoted in this article? What can he mean?

"I’m out of contract so there’s no pressure on me to perform or anything like that..."

Hopefully puts pen to paper soon.. West coasts lack of small forwards means they'll surely be inquiring about him!

Might not be misquoted but he might've misspoke. Not quite sure what he was getting at though, might not be a wordsmith! Sounds like he's pretty chilled about it and he's more than likely to remain a Demon.

I wouldn't mind Lewis Taylor lining up in red and blue if he decides he wants to move home.

Everything quoted was bizaare.  “I want to play some good footy and get my name out there,” 

Everything in the article suggests he's up for the highest bidder.

It's hard to tell in text form but I'm hoping that the "there's no pressure on me to perform or anything like that" was said sarcastically.

Lols

Srsly

I don't read anything into what players do or don't say after getting 2nd degrees burns with Scully but them there are some bizarro comments.

I'd say he means that the club haven't told him that he is under pressure and unless he performs better he won't be offered a contract. 

All players want to get their name out there for various commercial purposes and endorsements.

 

 

I don't think Dean will be a club spokesman anytime soon.

I trust this was intentionally ironic? (If it wasn't you can claim that it was and we'll all believe you.)

I was trying to morph into "hill folk" speak

What a Bizzare comment. 

Up there with Chip Frawley in the Simpleton catergory.

I'm a Dean Kent fan, and this is a totally unfounded comment which is just based off a feeling I have had for a while,  but I could see him leaving. 

Again,  no basis for this,  and it's merely just a hunch,  but for some reason I've never had the same confidence that he would stay as I have with someone like Watts and Hogan,  or Viney.

Especially now that he is under performing up there. We should be able to get him cheaper. He is a class player, so skilled on both sides of the body. Can play forward, midfield, or back/wing. Good decision maker, could be a solid pick up. Underrated.

Dean has no idea what happens after September. Maybe that hammy he ripped so badly last year is just hanging in there. 

Otherwise it is a very strange response....

We don't pay them to speak

Thank God

Here we go again....

It's proabaly a little revisionist of me, but if I was the journo interviewing Kent, I'd ask for clarification on those remarks. If not then, definitely before it was put to print and published.

I thought he had another year to go

RPFC posted this earlier this year. If correct this is his last year.

Viney can now be updated to 2020.

I would have thought it was sarcasm coupled with some average journalism.

What in the world...extraordinary quotes.

I don't think that Kent's that smart. And if he was, he's stupid for answering in that way.
