Welcome to Demonland: Luker Kentfield

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.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
