KFW is 19 which is top age for the Coates League. Each of the Coates League clubs are permitted to include some top age players to promote their prospects of being drafted. It’s mainly for the benefit of late developers or players who were injured in their draft (18 years) season. AFL clubs can apply for their listed players to play for clubs which is what happened to allow KFW to represent the Dandenong Stingrays.

James Harmes was a class above. Schache and Laurie deserve consideration for promotion. I’m not sure where Schache would stand in light of Maxy’s possible return - it depends on whether the selectors want to give him the extra week’s rest which I think would be a good idea. There’s also Ben Brown’s impending return which might complicate things for Schache but his form warrants the consideration.
