11. Melbourne - Luker Kentfield Subiaco/WAFL Key forward 194cm 10/09/05 A tall forward from WA, Kentfield had some interest from AFL clubs last year after impressing in the WAFL but was overlooked. He's returned bigger, faster and stronger in 2024 and has kicked nine goals in 10 games for Subiaco this season. His 8.42 seconds for the agility test at the state Draft Combine last year was a strong indicator of his mobility. With the Dees short of forward options as they look toward September, Kentfield is yet another tall in the front half to consider.

In summary: AFL umpires are receiving in-game feedback via earpieces from officials at the ground, raising concerns among senior coaches about the potential impact on the game's integrity. An investigation revealed that some coaches were unaware of this practice and worried it might influence decision-making. AFL umpiring boss Steve McBurney clarified that the communication is meant for positive affirmation during breaks and not to direct in-play decisions. While this system has been in place since 2013, its usage has increased recently, sparking debates on whether it compromises the sport’s fairness. Despite assurances from McBurney that the system does not affect game integrity, some coaches remain uncomfortable with it. The league confirmed that these communications are recorded but not publicly shared, and umpires can opt out of receiving in-game feedback.

AFL talent guru provides mid-season draft lowdown Luker Kentfield (Subiaco) “He was very close at the end of last year. He’s a 196cm key forward who can pinch-hit in the ruck. “He is super competitive, and we don’t say that very often about young men of that size. It’s just instinctive to him. “He’s another one that hasn’t had a lot of air time but one to keep an eye on. “I don’t have a club for him, but I think he will go.”

Agree. If non-Marvel tenants must play home games at Marvel then it should not be against a tenant of Marvel.

Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow. Some players did laps, Gawn, Fullarton, McAdam, (a couple of others) as a competitive short pass at the mannequin ran. Petty after some hand skills with all rehabbers, spent time on the exercise bike. Low-key, running the cobwebs out. I didn't stay long, also I am off overseas for a few months. New trackers needed.
