Farewell Dean Kent

Wiseblood

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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
