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 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
