Farewell Dean Kent

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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
