AFL talent guru provides mid-season draft lowdown

Luker Kentfield (Subiaco)

ā€œHe was very close at the end of last year. Heā€™s a 196cm key forward who can pinch-hit in the ruck.

ā€œHe is super competitive, and we donā€™t say that very often about young men of that size. Itā€™s just instinctive to him.

ā€œHeā€™s another one that hasnā€™t had a lot of air time but one to keep an eye on.

ā€œI donā€™t have a club for him, but I think he will go.ā€

    Kevin Sheehanā€™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 10Ā 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. Ā 2024 output is modest so far. Ā Still only 19 so another waiting game. Ā

    A super competitive key forward.Ā 

    Just what the doctor ordered.

    Welcome aboard Luker.

    Big lump of a lad.Ā 

    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.Ā 

    Old fashioned style of forward so Iā€™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 hasnā€™t really done anything to suggest heā€™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.Ā 

    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: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0ā€“4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demonsā€”but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
