2017 Player Reviews: # 16 Dean Kent

I actually have confidence that Kent will be e revelation this season.

Just as a matter of interest , when is the coaching staff seen as responsible for not getting the right output from a player who obviously has ability? Is it ALWAYS the player's fault alone for not living up to supporters' expectations?

BTW, that was a rhetorical question.. I know the answer

    How is it hard to comprehend?

    Watts' contract is/was far more than Kent's, so moving on Watts was a logical choice there, especially with brining in Lever, as well as the current contract negotiations with Gawn and Petracca, as well as the upcoming TMc extension.  We have more cap space to work with now.

    Further to that, we got pick 31 for Watts.  Would've been lucky to get 88 for Kent, which would've been a totally useless deal.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for 2018 Kent to play a similar role to that of 2017 Ben Ken, but to say getting rid of him before Watts was hard to comprehend, is in fact hard to comprehend itself.

    Does that include the money we are paying Port Adelaide for taking Watts off our hands?

    He has the attributes of Hassa Mann, and he quite visibly was emotional just when he was finding form and did his shoulder again, I think we give him another run at it - if he has a massive pre-season, he'll be his only limit!

    I bet you are also basing this off a 5 sec clip when the camera showeed him sitting in the freezer tent.

    Seriously WTF has this got to do with anything?

    1. What would you base that on?

    2. It is always the players fault for not beng the best possible player he can be

    I think he can be a very capable player, but what position? A high HF with not much desire to pressure? A mid who doesn't get much footy? He has a got a decent left foot but needs to own a role. 

    Nowhere right now.

    Would love to see him in our best team - has pace and a great long kick, and we know that, at times, he can apply the requisite defensive pressure

    He and vandenBerg could be the comeback stories of 2018

    Yes very much looking forward to a AVB this year!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
