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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
