Drafted from WAFL club Subiaco in this year’s mid season draft, Kentfield was injured when he came to the club and needs a full season to prepare for the rigors of AFL football.

If he can mark a red ball and a yellow ball at the same time, he might have a future. 😜

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.

[Old Time Demon 85]

I think he will be a good 'un this young fella.

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. 🙄

[Demon Jack 6,930]

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.
