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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
