Player Watch #42 Mykelti Lefau Re-Signed 2026

[JackNah_8]

Good effort today, I didn't expect much from him but impressed with his development considering he is very new to AFL.

 

[Bojangles17]

When he leads at the ball he looks very good as he marks at highest point with sure hands , bare in mind we only had 40 i50s today as our supply dried up ,,,would like to see Samson in to partner him and get some decent structure

 

[dorianyates]

Good game by him today. 3 goals a great effort by a project player. Also tackles really well and pressures for a player his size

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Has great potential as a second or third Forward. Needs the shield of a taller target.

 

[TigerImposter]

The lad can hold his head up high as he's basically improved from every game. I didn't think he would last , but i'm glad he's proved me wrong.

 

[Noidnadroj]

Battle and Wilkie both received coaches votes though. When 2 key defenders are in the top 5 or so players on the ground, it suggests our forwards didn’t do their job!

Plus, Ryan is the future, get games into him.

See how stupid it would have been to drop Lefau like so many were calling for? About the only shining light from today, and a very impressive one.

That’s why you don’t boot youngsters who are at least contributing and learning from a developing team - great game today and looks really promising I’m sure you’ll agree.

I trust my eyes and my football knowledge 100 times more than your stats

I saw it five times at least where's Saints defenders made him look very very ordinary I'm not having a go at the kid he is still learning and he is offering something I'm just saying what I saw.

your essay on statistics mean nothing when it's a one on battle with about 20 minutes to go in a tight game and the kid came up short several times.

if you can't acknowledge that fact, then it's your problem not mine.

How’d Lefau go today in a teams who midfield was demolished? Lucky he wasn’t playing VFL

For context we had 40 i50s and he played on a premiership key defender in barras , you’re right was only highlight on a bleak day

Up until today I thought Lefau was one of those guys we were getting excited about because we don't have much to get excited about.

But holy shit he can play! The Eagles key backs are no slouches.

He’s way surpassed my expectations and showing benefit of being in FT footy environment, will be a massive boost to his confidence in what’s he capable of , good on him , comes across as a good bloke

 

[TigerImposter]

Now that he’s showing something I bet you Meehan will get him now.

 

[barracoutta]

Thought he shat the bed in his first game but has now showed some genuine growth and capability at the top level.

those two fend offs was some pretty impressive power. hope his growths continues!

He's going to be the perfect third tall in future. Can take a grab and can apply defensive pressure on the ground.

 

[Morro]

Could have easily kicked 5 and should have had atleast 4, one handed bench pressed 2 blokes, marked really well. Wish we got to see him play the season with Balta and Lynch

 

[TigerImposter]

IF he was named after a famous NZ race horse it would be Might And Power as he's so strong and powerful.

 

[smasha]

Very happy for him.
A Lefau fan.
Could have kicked 5 goals but his kicking skills miles in front of another ex League player in K. Hunt except Hunt kicked like Royce Hart against Richmond lol,the #weareeveryonesgrandfinal factor again.

 

[tiger_tough]

He beat Barrass comfortably. Impressive by a 3rd gamer.

They're still extracting Tom Cole from the Subiaco turf

 

[THE_GUN]

Very very strong boy

 

[Roachy8]

One shining light in a looming punish of a season.
Love his athleticism, competitiveness, and amazing progress over the past year or so but in particular the last month.

And the fact that he is such a humble and respectful dude makes it even better.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Now that he’s showing something I bet you Meehan will get him now.

 

[SouthernStripes]

Huge improvement yesterday compared to his first couple of games. The one and only positive to come out of yesterdays dogs breakfast

 

[Mr Magic]

Good effort today, I didn't expect much from him but impressed with his development considering he is very new to AFL.

nah he was good in what I saw, I will have to watch a replay of the game.

He has a few tricks, certain not a also ran, something to build on at minimum

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Pavelich summed it up well yesterday, very quick over the first 10-15 m, great vertical leap, strong hands and a simple but effective kicking action.
And I’ll add a ground level game, that’ll scare the sh!t out of plenty defenders.

 

[prodigy]

I thoroughly enjoyed it when he monstered a couple of West Coast players lol.
I'm hoping he isn't a flash in the pan like Stack was when he bumped Viney and everyone here idolised him.

Feel like that won't be the case though.
