FireInTheBennelly 4,104 Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 So what does it have to do with Dean Kent? Quote

The sequence = the number of goals he has scored per season since 2011 Well done. Garlett is like the 1990s Demons. Just a small illustration that Jeff has bounced back from down years before and we do have someone on the list who can actually kick an average of 2 goals a game. 1 Quote

Sorry mate - and to all those who wasted time trying to figure it out while I slept peacefully through the night. Was in response to Caligua flipping out and demanding pick 30 for Kent as he supposedly kicks 2 or 3 goals per game. I should have made that link clearer. Though I get the sense that people are quite happy with some pre-trade week diversion. 2 Quote

Can anyone confirm his partner has moved back to WA this year?? happy wife, happy life, maybe not so happy Jeff this year Hmn, sad if true. It could explain, things. 1 Quote

When on he's a gun, we just didn't see it enough so realistically won't be missed. I agree. Saints say Kent is a skilled strong fast midfielder who will greatly benefit through mid running. Yet they downgrade his value ??? FFS 4th round pick which will end up as pick 62/63 is still an insult. Edited October 9, 2018 by spirit of norm smith K 1 Quote
GCDee 3,203 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Saints just acquired pick 39... Kent & 54 for pick 39? Done deal if you ask me 1 Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,681 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Kent and MFC 4th Round 2019 for Saints pick 39. Quote
Clintosaurus 7,953 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Done. Pick 65 - a bit disappointing. Quote
FarNorthernD 5,863 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Good luck to him. He can’t knock back a 3 year contract. Hopefully he gets over his injury woes and plays some good footy just not against us. 2 Quote
bluey 1,125 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Gone for 65, that’s a head scratcher. Quote

mrjonesandme 35 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Good luck to him indeed. Kent nailing that set shot from 50 against the Eagles to put us into the finals is a good memory to have of him. 8 1 Quote

Good Times Grimes 2,396 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 I always liked him when he played, but there's no point matching a 3-year offer to somebody who can't get on the park. Good luck to Kent, but I really can't see much sense in this for the Saints. Quote
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Posted October 11, 2018 Pick 65 isn't a head scratcher - he could have left and got there for nothing. We take it and move on to the bigger fish we have to fry. 1 Quote

Jaded No More 68,976 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Rubbish trade but nobody else wanted him and he was not contracted. A lot of wasted development for pick 65. 1 1 Quote

Even with vandenburg he states this shows we are a destination club like we need to prove it like a little brother proving themselves. This trade was another cross. No tick from me. Quote

We didn't have a leg to stand on in any negotiation. We've seen how long these deals seem to take, if we've got bigger fish to fry, there's no point wasting time on the small stuff. Best of luck to Kent. It wouldn't have been a hard decision given the choices on the table, but I agree with the MFC position. I reckob Josh Mahoney himself would have said "you'd be mad not to take that" on hearing the offer, and expect he goes with the MFC's blessings. 3 Quote

Trading (plus free agency) is not about individual deals but the final outcome. By any measure the overall result of our list management in the last few years has been outstanding.
