If my memory serves me well, Verrall was tracking really well this season from a development perspective, even seemed close to a call up a few times, but he seemed to be set back a fair bit by a concussion mid to late in the season?

And perhaps we need to be reminded how many years apprenticeship did MG#11, the greatest ruckman of modern times if not ever to get up to AFL standard? ย I know he had injury issues and I am not expecting Verrell to reach his lofty heights but talls take timeย

He is developing fine.

Verrall tried hard but he got monstered most games by physically stronger B grade ruckmen & if he cannot overcome that issue he will struggle to make it.

Iโ€™m not sure if youโ€™re relying on the stats, or are actually watching the games?

Verrall was better than even against most others - even Bryan and Moyle.
The issue was playing him less than 60% game time and then mostly forward as they tried to turn Fullarton into a ruck.

Wouldnโ€™t be surprised to see Fullarton in the backline next year, partially covering for Tommo leaving.

Anyway, why are we talking about other players in the Luker thread?

Also, I believe itโ€™s Kentfield. Kenterfield makes me think I see kangaroos up aheadโ€ฆ

Verrall may not be a number 1 ruckman, but I can see him as a key forward/backup ruckman.

He will be a senior player for us. You heard it from me.

Whatโ€™s your thoughts on Kentfield? I like his first game but after that he seemed to become invisible.ย

I think you are right.ย  ย No 1 ruckmen are 207cm size now and that will only increase.ย  ย Will is listed at 199 so it's asking a lot to give away 8cm or more.

TBH I have no thoughts on him, as he didn't really get into any Casey game, after he came here mid year.

We will need to judge him through next year, after a pre season with us, to see if he shows something.

He is a big strong lad so that helps.

Iโ€™m not sure if itโ€™s really heading that way tbh.ย 
The changes to the ruck rules this year has benefited the ones that can wrestle and use their strength just as much as the taller ones like Max.ย 
Theyโ€™ll probably change the bloody rules again in a few months. (Actually, if they get rid of the 10m circle, there might be less PCLs from the centre bounce and a better contest, but thatโ€™s another story).

JT took a bet on Verrall and Kentfield. They both showed something and then had interrupted draft years. He got them for bargain basement and so expected to need at least some time.

And as we all knowโ€ฆ

Actually listened to that tonight too. It came on right after Kenterfield Saddler!!! ๐Ÿ˜„

I really hope that WCW is wrong and Luker doesnโ€™t read this threadโ€ฆheโ€™ll be wondering wth people are yabbering on about. And also why every other player is mentioned in his thread? Probably will think we all have adhd?

Get this guy a full pre season.

Unless he wants to be traded home or has concerns about building his brand I don't intend to talk about Luker Kentfield until then.ย

Thanks Fritta and Turner that is good news, like the sound of Luker another 194cm fwd, playing CHB at present, doesnโ€™t turn 20 until September and could be another swingman like TMac, Petty and Turner. Like that he plays aggressively.


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.

Fot the first 7 years many on this site want to get rid of maxy. How wrong they where. Give him a chance. He has injuries just like max. Please note, I am not saying he will be as good as max (nobody can) but he does rate a chance

The kid is a very good, one grab overhead mark. Keen to see what he can develop into.

He's on the rookie list mate, give it a rest.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
