That seems odd to me (unless he just genuinely couldn't make it) as I see not animosity with him leaving.

Didn’t see Vandenberg either now that you mention it.  I’m pretty sure all those delisted were there.  Jesse was definitely there.

Thats strange...

The Sun is reporting that the Saints will get Kent for nothing more than Pick 75 as they will use the threat of getting him in the pre-season draft to push that through. 

Bastards.

Someone else will draft him before 75. Would definitely let them try that as 75 isn’t worth [censored] to us anyway.

[Adzman 2,154]

Would rather let him walk for nothing then get screwed by St Kilda. I wouldn't be surprised to see a side like the Gold Coast spend a pick in the 50s in the draft for him if he were forced into the draft.

Thing is, if we won’t use the pick antway we might as well let them do that and then they miss out on who they really want in the PSD

Who cares. Was a delisting candidate anyway IMO, I'm still in shock from what they've offered him. Just sign it and move on to the actual business.

He names terms if he goes to the draft, and his terms will be 3 years and the Saints $$$ offer. Pretty confident there'd only be one club interested.

He has no worth. Let him walk

He showed his worth this year, could have easily earned another year or two.

I didn’t see Kent or VDB either. Mitch King, Bugg and Pedo I definitely saw.

Hogan was on a table that appeared to be for those without partners along with Bugg and Garlett and a whole heap of blokes I didn’t recognise (maybe Casey players?).

Thats the most gumption Richo has ever displayed.

VDB definitely there, fwiw.

No F****** Way he is worth pick 75. When Kent is in the team, he is clearly in our best 22. He snags 2-3 goals a game, provides forward pressure, strong tackling and has genuine pace to break lines and can roost it from outside 50. He is clearly worth between 30 - 50. Name a better small forward we have? Garlett is Lazy, Spargo cant kick past 40m and JKH is well... he's JKH... a nobody.

Yep tell St.Kilda to f-off. Then tell Kent that if he wants to go to them, he has to get them to give us something half-decent.

And achieve what? If he goes to the draft, he gets to St Kilda and we get nothing. We can go all Essendon and thump our chest and make big statements about not being push overs, but all that does is make us look like flogs and wastes time. They hold all the aces. Cut our losses and move on.

Agree and if Kent follows this path then he will not be part of the Demon family going forward and likely be booed in all future meetings with St.Kilda, after destroying the legacy of a significant part of his career.  He'll be retired a long time.

Don't know what the rules are these days but in the past that may have prevented him from starting pre season with them. 75 is useless to us and I would make them go to the draft if that's all they are willing to part with.

Some folk have a very strange idea of trading. It's not war , it's an opportunity to exchange for mutual benefit. Of course there are times it's slanted, but that's just market forces at play.

It is what it is.

He has played 11 games in 2 years and you talk about him like his Cyril Rioli.

Regardless of what pick we get, St Kilda are still a pack of Kents.

And why not? That’s the exact number of games Cyril’s played these last 2 years.... ?
