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.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
