Dean Kent injured at training

[kosifantutti]

Out for the season.

[The Fireman]

looking forward to 2020..new Coach and a full list

[Waltzing St Kilda]

The Guerra comparison is apt.
Shaped like Guerra, moves like Guerra.
And plays like Guerra in a St Kilda final.

Wow, an injury gets reported and the wolves come out to rip to shreds the said player. Charming

Very ordinary

To be fair, most were saying he was ordinary way before he got injured.

Not a Kent fan at all, the guy is not a consistent AFL standard player in my opinion and I believe he should have been dropped for the Melbourne game as there were players like Hind, Young & Long in the twos who could have replaced him.

Whilst he had an absolute shocker against Brisbane he has held his place in the team IMO since the Melbourne game which was his shinning light as there is no one putting up their hand at Sandy for his spot.

Kent is currently in our best 22 but I'm not sure if that is an indictment on where we are at and our form over the past 6 weeks or if he has improved as the season has gone on but he is a walk up best 22 right now.

My concern with Kent is the 3 year deal, if he is in our best 22 in 2021 god help us because he is a fringe AFL player at best IMO.

Lastly what is going on at training?
Significant training injuries to Steele and Kent in the last week.
Is it coincidence, are they training differently, dumb luck?
Can anyone whop attends training comment?

[Viscount Jeremiah]

4th in goals. 12 total.
3rd in score involvements. Avg. 5.9 per game.
Avg. 13 disposals a game.
5th in marks. Avg. 4.5 per game.
2 tackles average.

He's done his job as a small forward with limited opportunities some weeks and in a low scoring side. Facts are facts.

Agree.

The facts are you put him in a good team he's kicked 20 goals by now.

Its a hard life being a small forward in a poor team

That’s kind of the theatre of mid week footy season.
We don’t know him and we hope he’s smart enough not to read SS. All’s fair in footy banter when our team is playing so badly.

That makes 15 injured on my count.

That’s sounds a very nasty injury if it requires surgery.
Best wishes to the young man for his recovery.

Saw the incident. During match sim Kent was on the run kicked the ball and just collapsed. Was in the clear and wasn't tackled. Just freakish. Steele's injury occured in general play during match sim. Just an unfortunate coincidence I think.

Done for the year it would seem.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Done for the year it would seem.

Crap. They are saying it's the year. Must have tore it and it requires surgery. We are cursed.

Some people on here need to show a bit of respect to our players too.

[satchmo]

0.9 goals per game. His lowest return since 2015.

12 goals from 26 scoring shots. Accuracy of 46.1%, his worst accuracy since 2015.

1.8 tackles per game, his worst return since 2013.

Perhaps that shows we can expect quite a bit of improvement?

At any rate he needs to improve. A bit like every other individual at the club.

All the best to the bloke.

The afl article opens with "SPEEDY St Kilda forward Dean Kent". Speedy? FFS!

[wasoncestkil58]

If Long is the replacement lets hope he makes the most of his opportunities. I have been a little underwhelmed with his progress. We have been missing Lonie's aggression.

[Josh Battle]

Lonie is more like a mosquito. Yes mosquitos can be aggressive but you consider them a pest more than anything. I don't expect Lonie to return with the same blistering form he showed earlier this year. Hopefully it doesn't take him too long to gain his touch and slot straight backk in to the team

We can fill the Kent absence imo. We are struggling in other areas, like the holes in our midfield and our backline hasn't had a chance to be settled
