Not thrilled about it. Always a fan and we don't have a lot of players like him with speed who can kick a goal. He wants the opportunity, fair enough.

He should just concentrate on getting minutes on the ground in any position before he starts demanding more time in the midfield (if true). I’d like to see him stay with us.

I believe Melbourne offered Dean a one year contract (maybe two?), St Kilda offered three and on more money. Given his history of injuries, surely you can’t have Ill feelings towards him for taking St

Funny thing. I caught up with a co-worker today and he was talking about the street party they threw in his neighbourhood. He met a young couple who recently moved in, the Kents. Dean chatted a bit ab

Shame his body couldn’t hold up. Enjoyed watching him at full flight and gave us one of the best moments in 2018 with his long goal in the West. 

Good luck Kenty, hope it works out for you.

Been offered 3 years, whereas we probably only offered 1 or maybe a second with a trigger (not get injured all the time!!). I really like what he brought when he was out there, but in reality he's fighting with Melky, Trac, Spargo, ANB, Fritsch and then jeffy and JHK for 3 or4 spots in the team each week.

Shame to lose him, has potential but is no use to us when always injured, package up with Tyson for something half decent. If Kent and Hogan go, thats 9 list changes already? Sweep that broom lol

St Kilda dont have a 2nd or 3rd round pick currently

What??  SO how will they trade for Dean?  A future pick?  A player swap?

There is quite a breeze of change on the list - Although apart from Dean and the retirements, all are VFL standard.

I’m a fan of Kent. Liked him for our best 22 next year. Sad to see him go 

good luck Kenty 

Could not agree more. Hope he gets a good run but a slight hammy when playing us!

The writing was always on the wall - there had been rumblings during the season that he wanted to push up to the midfield, and I don't think he would get that with us. 

With him being out of contract I can't see us getting a whole lot for him but, then, is he worth a whole lot? If the Saints get their hands on a third rounder you would probably take it.

This sucks! One of my favorites. I rate him easily best 22 and light years ahead of Spargo, ANB, Garlett, JKH, etc.

St Kilda wouldn’t let him go for any less than an early first round pick. 

Early first rd for Billings, you have to be kidding.

He is a 2nd rounder at best

That’s his value, not what it’d take to get him. Saints seriously overrating their list

I think Kent is worth a pick between 30 and 40 which the Saints don't have.

Might have to form part of the Pruess trade; hence a three way deal.

Sad to see him go.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
