Farewell Dean Kent

We should be asking the question about Logan Austin. 

I think he is a very good player and he is only going to get better. He would be a lock at Full Back. The Saints traded him in last season from the Power but still has limited opportunities.

    Happy for trade of Garlett for pick 50 as well. Pick-anything actually

    Yep got Gold Coast written all over him.

    The debate there will be about how much of his salary we need to pay.

    Amazing drop in form.

    Hopefully in this case he was front ended and his contract next year is for $2.50

    The old “our team sucks so let’s fix it by filling up our list with every other club’s rejects” strategy. I’ve seen a few clubs attempt this (Pagan era Carlton, Voss era Brisbane, Neeld era Melbourne) and I’ve never seen any result other than complete disaster. 

    Garlett’s more likely to go to a club that can afford a punt I reckon. I think it’s more likely that his career is over.

    I think his fall from grace is more of an attitude thing than his ability to play the game. He kicked 5 in the win against Brisbane in round 2.

    He played a very good game against Brisbane.

    He has dropped away quickly.  The same thing happened at Carlton before he came to us.

    For those potting Garlett, check your stats on small forwards scoring 40+ goals in a season... Jeff has done it 5 times!

    People aren’t potting, they are asking some questions, just like the footy dept did this season. He has answered those questions with a resounding “I can’t play the way you want me to”. 

    When he is on, he is my favourite Dee, he hasn’t been on for sometime.

    Will he do it again at our club? That is the million dollar question.

    I don't think many need a history lesson.  I prefer to live in the here and now.

    In the last quarter for Casey in the GF he squibbed a marking attempt.  It was pea-hearted.  He had 5 disposals for the game.  It was Casey's biggest game of the year.

    He's finished.

    Respect is such a difficult concept for some!

    I don't think it's a question of respect re: Garlett.  I think it's a matter of fact. 

    I'll always have respect for what Garlett has done for the club - he come to us at the crossroads of his career and turned things around.  He has provided us with plenty of highlights and bags of goals.  He, like Daniel Cross and Bernie Vince, came to us when we needed some experience and class and he generally delivered it on a consistent basis in his first few seasons with us.

    However, it's pretty clear that the expectations that Goodwin has for players is something he is struggling to reach.  That's not being disrespectful to him, that's just fact.  If he was doing all the right things then I dare say he would have been playing ahead of someone like Spargo.  But, his performances for Casey haven't been great and I think his time as an AFL player may be coming to an end.  I wish that wasn't the case, but I think it's pretty evident that he isn't the same player he once was.

    Bugg gone, Kent going and if Spargo gets the 2nd year blues, we still need a back up crumber. Having someone that has kicked 40 plus goals isn't a bad plan B assuming the $ are in line

    I don't think Dew will want him.

    Maybe Port or back to WA ?   Or to Crows to replace Betts ?

    Garlett hasn't lost his speed, with Bugg, Kent and possibly AVB going out i think we need him for our depth in the forward line. He could have a really strong pre-season, and play 11 good games for us

    I see him as a depth player, so when we have a full team he will probably be in the VFL. But we will inevitably have some injuries, and in those cases he would be a good back-up pressure fwd. However, he may recapture his best form as well, and be a best 22 player again. But i think a good depth player is more realistic.

    Throw away line, but someone will definitely take him.

    I have a feeling we will find another small forward this year, from another team. ??? gut-feeling.

    I wonder if we can get Lonie with pick 50ish, or a swap. Seems out of favour with Richo but showed glimpses of his scintillating crumbing when played.

    I mean, with the pick 50'ish we get with Kent. If list space available and we have not recruited any small forwards

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
