He was a bit loose for me. Gets separation when he doesn't need to and it wasn't about not taking marks it was more just being able to half contests. He's sometimes get bodied out too easily and Zeibel would mop up easily. Gets caught under it a bit too.

However he wasn't bad, I wouldn't be disappointed if he was given another go next week but someone does have to make way for Petty.

    I reckon they'll rest JVR and get him ready for the Hawthorn or Port game.

    He did ok as a depth player but likely to be straight back out with Petty fit next week

    Hasn't played senior footy for a while but was expecting a bit more from Shak tonight.

    Especially seeing as he already has 73 matches under his belt and bobbed up a few times at Casey recently (some nice contributions without setting the world on fire).

    Not sure two stay at home forwards is the best mix either.

    Yes i realise JVR roams a bit higher at times.  But for the main part the two of them are two peas in a pod in terms of the approx areas they seem to like to roam.

    Reckon we need a leading forward like BBB or Macca with JVR playing deeper out of the square.

    That's not to say Shak wont be given another week.  The brains trust might want to take another look?

    However, with that in mind, Shak would most likely need to improve on tonight's performance quite significantly to retain his place from there.

    I am also scratching my head to work out what it is (weapon/s wise) that he brings to the table?  Certainly didn't seem to show anything special in this regard tonight from what i saw.

    He’s clean…but too clean. For his height he lacks overall size and strength. He’s also not naturally aggressive and that doesn’t bode well for him.

    I don’t think he was as bad tonight as many are making out, but I see his deficiencies. For a tall his kicking delivery is a strength. Trouble is, he’s a long way back in the pecking order if everyone’s fit.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
