Kent

[bergsone]

I will put my hand up,I didnt want him in the side but he played well .Does he follow up that with another good game,against the cats we really need that sort of performance again.I have my doubts

[Trev from the Bush]

He is a hard nut whose biggest issue, to me, seem to be missing set shots. Three goals, after a bad miss, last night would do wonders for his confidence and that has been the entire team's biggest bogey this season. He was the right player to trouble the Swans and his performance will demand more attention from the Cats.

[bangaulegend]

I'm not a Kent fan but played pretty well last night his best game for the year so far IMO

[Teflon]

Needs to be pushed out by a better option
Depth only
Better option needs to step up next year

[The_Dud]

The problem with Kent is he plays 2 or 3 terrible games, then a good one to keep him in the team, then usually back to a few terrible ones.

I would still prefer Long in the team.

Me too
I don’t get sucked in by 1 game in 10

[SaintPav]

It's probably between Kent and Lonie for that depth small forward position.

One year contract only.

[Yorkeys]

If Toohey is out Kent's game will concern the Cats. Small ground, his strength in the clinches will be useful around Stewart, Blicavs and Co. If he converts.

Former doubting Thomas - or Dean as the case may be.

He kicked that goal that he opted to do a set-shot snap from virtually directly in front on the open side for his left foot, but what a weird option.
I'm glad it went through, but that decision was reminiscent of Lonie's weird brain-fade left-foot banana set shot against Adelaide on only a 30° angle and smacked of no confidence in his orthodox set shot.

Exactly. Kudos to him for a good game but.....plays like a spud with multiple brain fades and balls bouncing off his chest for weeks on end then plays one game that's decent when season is virtually over. No contract for mine. Delist.

[B.M]

Why is there a bias for Long

And against Kent

Neither are that good

Long has kicked 2-9 since going forward

And Kent had not kicked a goal this season until last game

Kent has played 2 very good games in a stk jumper

Not sure along has played many, if any

[St Plugger]

One word:..........DUD!

[B.M]

A dud that has just kicked 3 in an AFL game
And got votes

Wish I was a dud

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Three gimme goals, two from dodgy free kicks.

Will probably get a new contract on the back of it

True, two were from frees.

[skeptic]

Kent’s problem is he doesn’t have a weapon. He’s not overly quick (but not slow), not particularly good at crumbing, chases but doesn’t lay a lot of tackles.

His major avenue for kicking goals is finding space and kicking goals from set shots… but that he set shot reliability isn’t that good.
He doesn’t crumb like Lonie
He doesn’t use his skill/speed like Butler
Isn’t as tough and hard working as Higgins

So from where I sit he has a few problems…
1. Closely check him and he generally can’t get the ball up forward
2. His skills aren’t so good that he can generally make the most out of very limited opportunities… he did it last night but few can reliably making something of nothing from limited opportunities
3. He’s not that good a mark or set shot to be a player that relies on marking and set shots to kick goals

[B.M]

He actually is quick

Doesn’t look it, but can hit 34kmh and I believe is only behind Hill at StK

Don’t think he has an engine, seems a burst player.

It’s his kicking that ordinary- I think he has the yips

Unusual for a leftie to be so poor… except Clint Jones

We’ll if they are the only 2 options, then we should f*** them both off.

In saying that I’d rather Kent everyday of the week than Lonie.

Tell us what you really think!

I think you will get your wish, Saintbob.

I don’t think anyone at GFC is losing sleep over playing on Dean Kent.

[Teflon]

I think Long brings the pressure more consistently can mark overhead - Kent can’t
Long younger
Kent at Dees renowned for poor foot skills but had pace
He’s delist fit me and Long is kept
You have to upgrade even your depth

maybe that painted rock Firery ?

i didn't see the resemblance before
but i'm wondering
