Yep and in the mire I see LOTS OF UPSIDE!

Only if they can develop him and I'm not sure of that.

    Yes me to, Derkson down back and Kentfield up forward has a nice ring to it.

    bring him in for petty this week

    I reckon JVR has got his number. That being said, I really like Lukers approach, he's like a more skillful AJ. Something we definitely need.

    I'd definitely be supportive of giving him a go if his fitness is up to speed, that being said, most of our list don't seem to be fit.

    And yet D Rev we had 11 shots to 4 in the last quarter in warm conditions and no Petty or Howes and Clarry carrying a head wound. I don’t think that their fitness is in question even though Milkshake was cramping badly.

    The fact that he's a one-grabber and applies defensive pressure shouldn't preclude him from a game in the seniors.

    Demonlanders are eternally salivating over recruits who have achieved absolutely zero. It's a bit like Lasseter's Reef or praying to Mary Mackillop.

    Cranky Franky it is called optimism, hoping for the best rather than expecting the worse, our way can be disappointing whereas your way is always expecting the worst to avoid disappointment. We may both arrive on the same plane but I bet I enjoy the flight more.

    I'm pretty sure if MM was to line up for this Deez this week - we'd have to start Max at FF and make Kosi 19th man.

    Personally I prefer to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong, than a pessimist who is always right.

    The MilkShake is a remarkable athlete.

    In his 30s (turns 34 next month), post the setback of missing the premiership, The Shake has played some of his best footy deespite numerous injuries he keeps on "frothing-up" (unlike milk for a cappuccino as you only get to froth this milk once!).

    No wonder he cramped as he's not had a run at form having played 11 of our games with a few out with injury.

    I hope we "Do The Shake" in 2026 IMO.

    BTW, I can't stand The Filth (I just wanted to say this as I saw an old filth supporter at the GPs today and I felt even sicker!)

    I don't believe he is tall enough for a key position

    This comment took me by surprise as he seems a big guy. How tall is tall enough these days? He's listed at 194cm

    While I would prefer we had at least one key forward who is 196cm or taller (Ideally another who is close to 200cm who can pinch hit ruck). I think 194cm is tall enough to make it.

    A few players for comparison

    Harry McKay 204cm

    Tom Lynch 199cm

    Lance Franklin 199cm

    Nick Larkey 198cm

    Joel Amartey 197cm

    Tom Hawkins 197cm

    Harrison Perry 197cm

    Jesse Hogan 195cm

    Aaron Cadman 195cm

    Josh Tracey 195cm

    Matthew Jefferson 195cm

    Tex Walker 194cm

    Charlie Curnow 194cm

    Jacob Van rooyen 193cm

    Nate Caddy 193cm

    Darcy Fogarty 192cm

    Jack Darling 191cm

    Jake Waterman 191cm

    By memory A.Jakovich was 187 cm.

    We will pick Kentfield when he is out of form for Casey or he will be the sub. That is the Demon way I guess.

    Would love to see Kentfield get a shot...I mean why not, what other options are there we haven't tried and failed with? Just get the kids in there and he's coming off a fresh deal and some goals kicked I mean c'mon live a little!

    Don’t forget that Luke’s hasn’t had a pre season yet and is coming off double pneumonia where he was a very sick boy earlier this year and lost a lot of weight.

    It would be ridiculous to play him in the seniors this year with all of the pressure that goes with it.

    Let him have a full pre season next year and hopefully then he is ready for senior games.

    You are right there are plenty of good key forwards under 200 but most are accompanied by one or more over or there abouts

    Collingwood is an odd one out but they occasionally use Cox 211 as a forward

    Brisbane Hipwood 204

    Crows Tilthorpe 201

    Geelong Meale 203

    Hawks Chol 200

    Freo Jackson 200

    Dogs Darcy 208

    Suns Read 202 King 202

    Giants Tallest is Riccardi 198

    Port Marshall 198 although Whitlock is being groomed at 202

    Carlton McKay 200 Young 202

    Swans Ladham 202 but usually McLean 197 is tallest

    Essendon Wright 203

    Saints King 202

    North Larkey 198

    Richmong Lynch 199

    West Coast J. Williams 198

    Probably more important to have a key defender at that height.

    Totally meaningless. St Kilda beat us with Butler as their main fwd.

    Pies won a flak with Mihocek, Elliot & Hill as their key fwds.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
