If people are critical of the Kent pick well Hannebery's doesn't look much better:

Sydney get St Kilda's 2019 second round pick and pick 39 in 2018.  St Kilda receive Hannebery and and pick 28 in 2018. 

Sydney are effectively letting him go for pick 39 (second round picks roughly net out).  The Hickey deal wasn't much better and the Rohan deal was similar to Kent's. 

We have nothing to complain about. 

Its a sign of the times that better clubs will trade to improve their list not to win minor trade battles.  That is what we have done.  Hawkes are doing similar to get Wingard.  Freo should take notice which is more important.

Holy Motors! That is one hell of a deal for a player on 4 × $800k.  As you say effectively pick 39.  The Saints didn't want to trade 4 and 39 was their next pick but that still doesn't make sense.  If I was Sydney I would've asked for future 1st.

Agreed!  Why on earth would Syd throw in pick 28.  Hannebery for #39 and Saints future 2nd round pick seems a very fair deal!!

The Sydney bloke must have blinked first ?

Even that sounds low to me!  Salary cap dump!

It's a fair deal.  We couldn't expect much more than that when they could have held off and gotten him for nothing in the pre-season draft.

It's a shame to see him go but he wasn't crucial to our rise up the ladder.  Good luck to him at St. Kilda.

Welcome Pick 65.

Someone is going to get a pleasant surprise at the draft...welcome to the Dees ......

Looks like we will stockpile some late picks to offer up as a bundle to get pick upgrades.  Shame to see Kent go but he can't get his body right

 

 

Thanks Kenty for all your efforts. Especially getting the sealer over in the West.

Loved you at Melbourne Kent! The sealer against the eagles this year and that absolute Beauty against Essendon, 3 bounces down the wing and put us in front in the last. What a win that was in our dark days. The game against North a few years back from memory he kicked 3 and played a blinder! But the right decision has been made from all camps here. Kent is securing his future and Melbourne making the move easy. If Kent had injured his shoulder in the first quarter of the eagles game instead of a week later, I think we would have delisted him. So that pick is based on 1 game of footy. All the best Kenty, hope you can get your body right, except against us.

Yes, I remember this one against Essendon.  Was a rare bit of joy in an otherwise dark time.  The game against North certainly had everyone thinking that he'd arrived and we h8ad a real player on our hands.

Kent certainly teased with his bursts of brilliance and potential that unfortunately was never consistently delivered on for us.  As highlighted by others, a pragmatic trade in the circumstances and I have no hard feelings really, just some lingering frustration for what might have been.

Kent is a very good player would like to keep had him, but he is always injured, when fit he is best 22, but is injured, that the only knock on him, his body.

Now what do we need pick 65, and 62 for, is this draft that good?

Wish Dean all the best for the future.

Bit disappointed we no longer have a player from Clackline on our list though...

Thanks for your efforts Dean - I hope your injury woes are behind you.

65..... really -   Josh blinked first again!!  

 

No, not really... we get the cap space back, that we'll hopefully need to bring in fresh talent.

This part of this job is done. 

 

I'd like to give my thanks as well to 'Kenty', for his time and efforts in a forlorn 'demon' outfit, for most of his time.

Good luck 'Kenty'...  fair well.

 

I can't wait for our teams to meet up, when your in the Sainters colours.


I can still remember the Cry Clarke Kent which never actually eventuated for us "hungry" Dee's supporters.

All the Best Dean, at your best you were very, very Good................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He wanted out for more opportunities.  Fair enough.  Thanks for the service, Dean.  Good luck and watch those shoulders!

 

I can see why he wanted to go. More opportunities is what he wanted. All the best to him and I hope he can stay injury free.

Will always remember his wonderful goal against west coast to seal the win. 

Like the male black widow spider who impregnates the female and then gets eaten... I will forever remember your goal against WCE only to do your ACL as your final act...

  • 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.

    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.
