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: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
