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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
