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 

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.

So what does it have to do with Dean Kent?

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.

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

Hmn, sad if true. It could explain, things.

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.

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.

Saints just acquired pick 39... 

Kent & 54 for pick 39?

Done deal if you ask me :)

Won't happen for just Pick 39.  They can get him for nothing in the pre-season draft.  That deal, with us giving them a pick back, is more likely to occur at this stage.

yeah cant see that happening unfortunately, getting one of our thirds back into the second round would be a decent result. 


Done. Pick 65 - a bit disappointing.

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.

Gone for 65, that’s a head scratcher.

Possibly...but what was anyone really expecting ?

An injury plagued and inconsistent non best 22 player on the fringe.

Good luck Kent

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.

More disappointed he has gone - a really good player when fit but it was just not often enough.

Hope he goes well at the Saints.

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.

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.

Fit and with any continuity he was best 22 - its a horrible trade.


Rubbish trade but nobody else wanted him and he was not contracted. 

A lot of wasted development for pick 65.

Is it just me or do you get the feeling Mahoney is a bit soft on trades. I get the feeling he doesn’t see us like the power clubs. 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.

It's not that much of a head scratcher. 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.

Ignoring for the moment whether it's actually Josh Mahoney's call, I completely disagree. 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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
