Not thrilled about it. Always a fan and we don't have a lot of players like him with speed who can kick a goal. He wants the opportunity, fair enough.

    2nd rounder please, was crucial in our win in the west in round 22.

    Be strong Demon Draft Committee.

    Shame his body couldn’t hold up. Enjoyed watching him at full flight and gave us one of the best moments in 2018 with his long goal in the West. 

    Good luck Kenty, hope it works out for you.

    No less than a second round pick

    Been offered 3 years, whereas we probably only offered 1 or maybe a second with a trigger (not get injured all the time!!). I really like what he brought when he was out there, but in reality he's fighting with Melky, Trac, Spargo, ANB, Fritsch and then jeffy and JHK for 3 or4 spots in the team each week.

    Has asked to be traded to the saints.

    Got a link to something, mate? I believe you, just wouldn't mind reading/hearing more about it.

    Shame to lose him, has potential but is no use to us when always injured, package up with Tyson for something half decent. If Kent and Hogan go, thats 9 list changes already? Sweep that broom lol

    It’s a shame he couldn’t get a good, injury-free run at it. Good luck Kenty.

    St Kilda dont have a 2nd or 3rd round pick currently

    What??  SO how will they trade for Dean?  A future pick?  A player swap?

    There is quite a breeze of change on the list - Although apart from Dean and the retirements, all are VFL standard.

    Could not agree more. Hope he gets a good run but a slight hammy when playing us!

    St Kilda wouldn’t let him go for any less than an early first round pick.

    The writing was always on the wall - there had been rumblings during the season that he wanted to push up to the midfield, and I don't think he would get that with us. 

    With him being out of contract I can't see us getting a whole lot for him but, then, is he worth a whole lot? If the Saints get their hands on a third rounder you would probably take it.

    This sucks! One of my favorites. I rate him easily best 22 and light years ahead of Spargo, ANB, Garlett, JKH, etc.

    Early first rd for Billings, you have to be kidding.

    He is a 2nd rounder at best

    That’s his value, not what it’d take to get him. Saints seriously overrating their list

    I think Kent is worth a pick between 30 and 40 which the Saints don't have.

    Might have to form part of the Pruess trade; hence a three way deal.

    Sad to see him go.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
