I'd be surprised if we accepted pick 75. We  gave up pick 66 for Harley Balic and pick 54 for Viv Michie both of those players had barely any runs on the board at AFL level. Based on those trades and the contract offered to him by the saints I'd say Kent is worth a pick in the 30s or 40s despite his injury record.

    I would have thought no issue at all. Not as though Carlton's list is bursting with talent. He'd be in their top dozen players.

    Don't see 3 years being an issue for Carltank either.

    Well if there is competition for him so much the better and we'll get our price. But I certainly dont rate him as highly as you and wouldn't offer that sort of contract to someone who could be a bust.

    What would we have accomplished in this scenario?

    Stop St Kilda from from achieving what they set out to do. If they trade fair they get their man. If not, everyone looses.

    The only realistic payback is for Goody to 'accidentally' bump into Gresham or Billings while on holiday and forge a good friendship between now and the 2019 trade period ! Richo's replacement will be met with a similar trade or psd ultimatum

    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. 

    This assertion is only slightly undermined by his career tally of 63 goals in 63 games. He has however improved in recent years, with a career high 1.4 goals per game this year from his five appearances.

    Meanwhile a quiz:

    48 - 29 - 43 - 12 - 40 - 29 - 42 -18

    What number comes next in the sequence?

    Very true. Although even that does Kent an injustice as he was injured and unable to play on in the 1st quarter of two of those five games.

    One hour spent on this, I think that’s enough. Good one Skuit, does this actually have anything to do with Kent?

    My guess is 20.

    I spent about 30 min on it - the only connection I could find was he was drafted at 48... you've got more stamina than me @Dee Zephyr

    Don't have an answer but they look like player numbers, game points margins or draft pick numbers to me

    Ha Ha. Not sure about the stamina part, was hoping to see a few pages added on the Hogan thread rather than hanging out post by post.  

    I searched far and wide and didn’t even think to look at his draft number. Some of those numbers do match his career kicks tally against certain clubs. Long Bow I think.

    If STK are prepared to offer him 3 years then they value him higher than a pick 75 IMO, but we'll take what we can get. When on he's a gun, we just didn't see it enough so realistically won't be missed.

    Honestly St Kilda are joking and I hope one day we snatch one of their players for SFA. Which would make sense as pretty much all their players are worth SFA, hence ladder position.

    Next number depends on how many goals Jeff Garlett kicks in 2019. Hopefully lots!

    The sequence = the number of goals he has scored per season since 2011

    put him down for 40 plus goals in 2019 then.

    Can anyone confirm his partner has moved back to WA this year?? 

    happy wife, happy life, maybe not so happy Jeff this year

    • 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.
