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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
