Yeah he is only a depth player who is unfortunately required this week. There are 4 points up for grabs and I’m comfortable with Kent ahead of Long or NWM
Edit, didn’t realise Sharman wasn’t selected, now I’m in meltdown

Anyone who paid a small amount of attention to preseason would say that Kent was ahead of Sharman on current form.
That won’t be a consideration for the forumites who have Kent as their #1 whipping boy. Or, the accusation that he’s Ratt’s love child.

According to our captain, Patten is the coach's pet.

In this context sure but I think Coops played better games where it counted last season… and it’s fair to say that’s he’s had plenty more in the way of opportunities

I don't disagree, but you don't pick the round 1 side on last years form. No doubt that someone like Kent would be under pressure to perform straight out of the blocks but gets first crack.

true but Sharman plays well on the day based on last year. Kent is so hit and miss.But with two debutants maybe they wanted more experience out there?
I think a few players will need to put in a big performance tomorrow night to justify their selection, but it's the first game of the year which we should win, but if it's a blowout loss, then the eyes will turn to Ratts.

I would say the opposite, what they did in the seniors the end of last year holds more weight than a few practice games IMO, at least to get first crack.
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.
Kent+Ross geezus...
They're named in our side but if there was any honesty in Champion Data, their disposals would be counted in thr Filth's column.
They'll be good for at least a dozen turnovers, just quietly.
I predict Kent will get under 15 disposals, most will go to the Filth or nowhere near a team-mate
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Hayes displaced Sharman, not Kent. Kent is covering Billings, a 20+ possession high half forward.
Kent gets shots on goal, creates 8 of his 12 average possessions uncontested, has pace and kicked 5.6 in his last 7 games last year. He has kicked 90.63 in 98 games and has busted a gut all summer.
I think this is why he has been picked. He is ready.
