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.

    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.

    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
