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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
