AFL talent guru provides mid-season draft lowdown

Luker Kentfield (Subiaco)

“He was very close at the end of last year. He’s a 196cm key forward who can pinch-hit in the ruck.

“He is super competitive, and we don’t say that very often about young men of that size. It’s just instinctive to him.

“He’s another one that hasn’t had a lot of air time but one to keep an eye on.

“I don’t have a club for him, but I think he will go.”

    Kevin Sheehan’s 2023 AFL Draft top prospects: WA Tall forwards and rucks

    STATE COMBINE

    Luker Kentfield
    State: Western Australia
    State League Club: Subiaco
    Community Club: Carine
    Date of Birth: 10/09/05
    Height: 194cm

    A well-built and aggressive tall forward who progressed this year from the under 18s to play 10 matches at senior level for Subiaco. His physical presence and marking are both features of his play. Showed strength in the air and mobility as a target forward in three appearances for Western Australia at the National Championships. Kicked 22 goals across 20 matches this season at various levels in the talent pathway. His 8.42 seconds for the agility test at the state Draft Combine was a strong indicator of his mobility.

    Looks like there could be a bit of &*%$ in him...

    Big talk aggressive key forward who was certainly unlucky not to get picked up last year.

    Vice like hands who isn't afraid to crash packs and has certainly shown that at WAFL senior level.

    Love this pick.

    Definitely a development longer term selection.  2024 output is modest so far.  Still only 19 so another waiting game.

    A super competitive key forward. 

    Just what the doctor ordered.

    Welcome aboard Luker.

    Big lump of a lad. 

    Going to fill out massively by the looks.

    Big boy forward which probably gives us a complementary skill set from Schache and Fullarton. Seems less mobile than them but willing to camp under the high ball and compete, which we need. 

    Old fashioned style of forward so I’m excited to see how his skill set translates to AF L level.

    Going to be an interesting Casey team with Jefferson, Brown, Fullarton, Schache and Kentfield in the same forward line!

    At least with his size he looks like a legit forward/ruck. Good luck to the kid.

    Interesting that a knock on him was his speed, but his agility seems quite good. With a bit of forward craft he might make up for a lack of speed

    A little disappointed that we overlooked the chance for immediate help for a project tall who hasn’t really done anything to suggest he’d be an in demand pick in the top 45 of the national draft.

    But obviously we need more tall forward help and in JT we trust. 

    Skills look nice and seems to understand using his body, height/athleticism (if destined to play back up ruck as well as forward) and output are probably the question marks.

    At Casey, Schache can play key back. Would think Fullarton could too.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
