Doesn't feel like he's been around long enough, does it?

Really enjoyed his journey so far.  Damaging when in form; backs his pace, kicks goals and generally uses it well.  Hopefully the next 50 sees an increase in consistency; this has already improved notably throughout the year this year.

Onya Dean!

Love the way this bloke goes about it. Has all the characteristics you've listed above Nasher, plus a reasonable slice of mongrel which I love!

Yes, the surname definitely fits.

Quickly becoming one of my favourite players.  Has a little 'X-factor' about him, and while there is still room for improvement, when he's on song his left foot and gut running are up there with the best at the club.

As you say Nasher, let's hope he continue to improve over his next 50!

Can always count on you WB for a healthy dose of optimism. It's becoming enjoyable again being a Dee's supporter.

I stated a while back that he is a true footballer's footballer however at the rate he is going he'll be a lot more than that.

Smart, damaging when given a break but my best rap would be i reckon he would be a coaches dream. Has that good selfish arrogance however he loves bringing his teammates into the play.

Well done Dean, Richmond are the new owners of "The False Dawns" so enjoy mate as i hope u understand what ur about to be part of.

The next 50 are the make or breaks for Dean...he's heading in the right direction now but needs to keep on the improve.

Can be lazy, inconsistent, kicking is hit or miss, very one sided and loses focus.

Love the mongrel in him and has some raw talent. Look forward to see how he develops.

Kent and Hunt are good to have in the team when you need to vent in the crowd.

Except when people mistake what you've said, as was the case with me a couple of weeks ago and some toff MFC 'supporter' with his seat cushion.

Onya Dean!

It doesn't!

I thought he was still the precocious 20-year-old, but he's 22 and a half already! 23 goals in his 17 games this year, a good lift on his (short) career average.

Too late for him to get a right foot now, though, methinks!

The beauty about Kent is that he was drafted on the back of winning the under 18 league colts medal being a full time midfielder.

His career so far has been played on a half forward flank and we have seen the glimpse of explosive pace and X factor.

I hope Kent really sets himself up for a massive pre season and continues to build his tank because a fit and firing Dean Kent playing midfield could be the missing dynamic and X factor our midfield needs.

Kent and Hunt. Those guys might finally be able to bring some variation to our 1 pace midfield. Tracc and Stretch also provide different kinds of run without being super quick.

Built a bit like Chapman, but quicker.  If he can have that sort of career we're well ahead. 

I think its a bit corny when media identities compare a NAB Draft Pick to a modern player with the phrase "He is as luke hodge type player blah blah.

But the absolute worst for down right stupidity phrases are the ones that come from our supporter/posters.

Petracca, Hogan, Oliver. Those three alone without doubt from wat EVERYBODY has seen (I picked it drafttime and happy to blow my own trumpet lol) are on their way to bona-fide superstars. 

They are in extremely elite category of being their own person for 2 easy reasons

1. I cringe when i hear "plays like and love to ban the phrase and

2. They are/will be THAT good that u cant compare.

Has the tools to be a very good player. Its been a fantastic development year for him. He's a tad inconsistent but it's easy to forget that he's still only 22. Could be on track to kick 30 goals this well.

I'd like to see him move into the midfield.

I'd give him go as a tag on Mitchell for periods this week to get him ready for next year.

But then, I waited patiently for Daniel Bell to not become a midfielder.

biggest difference is kent can play,bell never used his pace with the ball, bell had no idea how to play.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
