Welcome to Demonland: Luker Kentfield

Featured Replies

His consistency and consistency of performance has been a rare positive out of this year. Strong form in the VFL.

No doubt Goodwin won't bring him in off the back of it!

    I think bringing him in now, in any extended way, with such an interrupted pre season, is simply a recipe for trouble. GIving the kids a go Vs throwing them to the wolves. I reckon we give him a game in the last game of the year, or the second last. Give him a taste so that it might spark him off for a massive pre season.

    Looking at Luker in a more dispassionate way he has similar traits to Daniel Turner, he has courage, strong hands, excellent kicking action, some ability and both are quite humble and likeable individuals and we picked them both up in the mid season draft which only cost us a spot on the list.

    who are you playing him instead of?

    The second last, definitely the second last. Not the last. I’m not sure I could handle watching him run out against that despicable pack of thugs.

    Judging by the weekends game I'm pretty sure he could handle himself well against them.

    Looks to have a low threshold where defenders trying to get into him are concerned.

    Why, I know Luker won’t back down and will give as good as he gets. Pies boys would learn quickly he won’t be intimidated

    He sure gave it to the Carlton player who tried to manhandle him on the weekend.

    Poor guy took 5 minutes to get back up off the deck....

    I hope this to be the case if indeed he is selected to play against them. It’s the thug culture of that club that worries me.

    My biggest concern is he cops a stray Darcy Moore knee. Seems that he can do no wrong in the eyes of the afl.

    This is what I mean. If we can all see the obvious bias surely the Collingwood players can as well. Therefore they can play with thuggish abandon.

    IF no injuries, then I think giving Jeffo a week off wouldn’t be especially harmful . Hes getting a good go now.

    Spending some time as a tall defender probably helps forwards understand their role a bit better - one David Neitz starts as a defender (I think he actually was AA).

    Think i read somewhere it was the Carlton player in Jordan Boyd who he ragdolled in that last quarter.

    Certainly doesn't take a backwards step regardless who it is.

    I am getting more bullish on Luker with each Casey game.

    Been in great form recently. Marking strongly and has kicked 16 goals over the past 6 games. Does he get a taste of senior footy before the year is out?

    Fitness might still be against him. If he plays he plays next week, not against the Mugpies.

    For mine, as long as it’s not in round 24. Luker himself thinks this would be fine (he’s super keen to debut) but I’d rather it wasn’t against those revolting thugs.

    To me he seems like the perfect bloke to debut against the grubs. He doesn't take a backward step on the field. He's almost the anti-Watts.

    Love him, get him in!

    Geez I’m nervous and excited in equal parts at the prospect of him debuting against them. But I’ll trust the selectors, if they deem him ready, so be it. I’ll just watch the entire match like this…

    Am I right in saying we were playing him in defence for much of the season?

    I'd be really happy to see him get a crack at it, but lets not throw him to to wolves to make him the "main option".

    admittedly ive not seen much of luker, but he is a main option type of player, hes a bigger body and taller than MJ AJ and JVR and when he hits packs they stay hit, his role is what will allow other forwards to get 2nd defenders

    Collingwood will be playing for top 2/4 or 6. He’ll be right and they’ll be on their best behaviour.
