Date of Birth: 2 January 2004

Height: 206cm

Weight: 91kg

Games CDFC 2023: 8
Goals CDFC 2023: 0

The rangy Category B Rookie with a basketball background spent 2023 learning his craft alternating between the Stingrays in the Coates Talent League and the Casey Demons in the VFL. Still a teenager, he’s developing slowly and still has a fair way to go as is the case with many code hoppers.

Kyah has a different look about him this preseason he is starting to fill out and looks like he has determination and intent. He, Will Verrall and Josh Schache should form a competent ruck combination at Casey in 2024. Providing Kyah show’s continued improvement he will be given time to develop, bringing Tom Fullarton into the club affords our young rucks time to develop under Max’s guidance.

Reckon he might have put on a bit of weight since the 91kg was measured, and looks to be moving with a bit more assurance at training as he starts to readjust to a code he hasn’t played for some years prior to last year.

I've said it before, but we are doing Kyah absolutely no favours playing him against men in a (very) part time ruck role in the VFL, as opposed to him playing games against players at a similar stage of their physical and football development. The chances of him playing a single AFL game are currently about 100/1.

Not going to make any judgement as yet. I thought Gawn was a busy in his early years 🤣

Our second tallest player with a big leap   It just depends how he develops   I just want to see him get a bit more ball.  I'm not worried about the ruck side of things - that will come.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
