2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

Date of Birth: 10 September 2005

    Shows potential but thats it at this stage. A full pre season will hopefully do the trick.

    He has the knack of taking a “hanger”. Good kicking action,too.

    Apparently was in intensive care with pneumonia,causing him to miss most of preseason. We can expect much better things in 2026.

    Here is hoping he hasnt walked under any ladders or jinxed himself at all, a proper pre-season and who knows where 2026 will take him.

    Luker Kentfield plucked from obscurity ‘24 mid-season draft, tough start to the season just past. Has determination in spades and hint of mongrel about him too. Got better as his season progressed. Been duly rewarded for his efforts with a contract extension for next year.

    He has the presence of a true forward. Can take a big mark in a pack and reliably finishes by kicking powerfully and straight. Not wishing to put undue expectations on the young bloke. But he is well positioned to emerge next season IMHO.

    I am really looking forward to seeing him develop. High ceiling by all accounts.

    Go Filthy. 🔴🔵

    I haven’t seen much of him, but I’m encouraged by all the positive comments above. He might just thrive under the new ‘freedom’ promised by Steven King. Go Luker!

    Fingers crossed he can have a big pre season and challenge for senior games early next year. I don't see the point to giving Johnson or Jefferson games ahead of him.

    Could not agree more TC. One of the positives for 2026.

    i thought he was taller than 194, if he was 197+ i'd be an extra 20% more excited but none the less i hope we see him R1

    Fingers crossed the boy has some talent & improved over the year but still has a long way to go. Great mark & kick but lacks agility & not very quick.

    Him & the rest of the team were embarrassed by Frankston's country footballers in the final.

    He looks strong and co-ordinated and a dead eye kick for goal. I just wonder if he is fast enough and/or tall enough to make it as a key forward at AFL level. He might be a better defender at AFL level.

    Probably should have been given a senior game in those last two rounds just to brush off the first game nerves.

    Has he overtaken Jefferson? Possibly and where does that leave Jefferson.

    Could be a find

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
