Luker Kentfield is a good size has played against men in the WAFL, reported to have a bit of mongrel and should be given time to develop out at Casey. No doubt by the end of ‘25 we will have a clearer view.

    Has a mid-season draft recruit who is a KPP ever ‘made it’? 
     

    Newcombe and Ambrosio as mids the benchmarks for what you can pick up at that time of the year.

    I can't think of one but LK has just turned 19 so has time on his side.

    Disco Turner, early days but made a great impact as KPP this year

    James Podsialy (?spelling) I think may have been a midseason pickup (from VFL) and was an immediate success.   Mind you he was an established VFL  mature aged player. 
    Some here wanted him delisted because he didn’t do much in his first half season, carrying injury. 🙄

    It was always going to be hard for an 18-year-old key forward to make an impact when he hasn't had a full AFL pre-season while also playing for a bottom six VFL side.

    While time is on LK's side, will we give him that time? We've just jettisoned KFW after two years when he clearly needed more time in the system. I'm hoping we have a bit more patience in Luker's development.

    There is quite a bit of good-to-bloody-good about Disco ... another year has passed, he might be almost ready to erupt into what we need; he really could out-pace opponents and I'd love to see him lead out of the fwd stink and into potential glory for the Dees.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
