Pleased to read the FD see some potential in this young bloke and signed him for another season. Admittedly had little impact coming in cold last season. Admire his grit and determination after being hospitalized with a serious illness in the pre-season. Has an athletic presence and that huge grab at the Whitten Oval announced his return to the playing field. From invisible to visible in the blink of an eye. One to watch with interest.

 

More than happy to see how he develops given another season. Nice hands and comfortable overhead, go get em Luker.

Lad hasnt had a full AFL pre-season yet, would be premature to cut him, no issue retaining him for another year to see how he goes.

Like you tc I hope he can be a part of the senior team. The is plenty of room for another rags to riches football story.

Happy to see this. Was quietly impressed with his game against Essendon. Strong overhead and good by foot

I see its going to be another one of those years when we don't make nearly enough changes to the list.

I assume Kentfield gets another year on the back of his nine disposals over the past two Casey games - if that doesn't scream future AFL player, I don't know what does.

For a young tall like Kentfield it's not about dominating games it's about attributes. He's got them. One grab mark, lots of athleticism, professional approach, good hands and adequate pace. Rookie. A one year contract.

Sometimes you need to look beyond the stats sheet.

A mere six months ago Luker was gravely ill, double pneumonia with multiple complications. He was bedridden for weeks. He lost a third of his body weight and all his muscle tone. When he returned well into the preseason MOST OF WHICH HE MISSED OUT ON he was unrecognisable, literally unrecognisable. He was so weak it was an effort for him to PUT HIS [censored] SHOES ON. Yet you’ve no qualms about bagging him? He’s a kid ffs. Considering what he’s been through it’s a huge achievement he can play at all.

Really went to see him forward for the next few weeks at Casey. He’s a more natural forward. I’m not seeing him as a key defender. Let’s see him as a big marking forward. That’s why we drafted him.

He is named in the forward pocket tomorrow.

So, he’s a Paul Callery type?

Couple of cms taller and less barrel chested.

He is one of the most underdeveloped kids on the list. he has good attributes, like contact, good football brain, good kick and has a good bit of dog in him. If you watch Casey play good sides with our delivery, Jesus wouldn't get a kick there.

Well said people forgot about how sick he was and as we all know if you miss out on a fair chunk of pre-season it puts you back a fair way.

3 goals for first game forward all year.

Well done.

Looking forward to him doing a full first pre season.

He is one of our better chances to become a senior player.

Thought he played very well today, took some good marks, fought hard, and kicked some nice goals as well for his effort. Glad we have him signed up for another year

Kentfield was recruited as a key forward. Guess what? He showed he’s a key forward. Not a CHB. Keep him forward and let’s see what he delivers over the next weeks. Not beyond getting a debut in the last few weeks of the season.

Sometimes it's about longer term development. Time in defence didn't/doesn't hurt him.

Took some nice grabs down back, one would be in the running for mark of the year a few weeks back.

Has to be good for his confidence.

Forget about a senior debut this year, let him get a full preseason under his belt first.

Imagine Luker after a full preseason… you’ll see nothing but upside!

BTW, I sat next to a lovely couple on the plane home (just landed). They had also come to the Gold Coast from Melbourne for the game. Turns out they were Jeffo’s mum and dad. I told them about you and how you’re a dedicated fan of his and how you’ve had unwavering faith in him from the beginning*. They were genuinely happy to hear this. I got the feeling they don’t hear stuff like this often.

*I left out the bit about you being unhinged and how you type in capitals too much and that you’re like a broken record

You’re welcome!

It’s always nice when you’re struggling as a KF and you get to play back for a few weeks. Your head feels better, less punches to the ears and the ball isn’t just dumped on you.

I've liked what i've seen in the VFL games. He's always been the 3rd tall either forward or back, so you don't get the bulk of the possessions. I don't believe he is tall enough for a key position but because he is so mobile, takes a good mark and is a good kick, I'd like to see him as a tall wingman that most sides now invest in. If we go down that track he is the most eligible on our list to do it other than Langford who will put on size and become an important midfielder. A tall wingman who drifts forward to take a mark and kick a goal would be very valuable.

It was strange we had 9 talls in the VFL on the weekend (without Johnson) and only 5 in the main side. It says a lot about the 9 either not tall enough or not good enough. Gold coast had 4 over 200cm.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
