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.

Poor Schache.  He's been a Demon for five minutes and has already assumed the mantle of whipping boy. Let's reserve judgement until we see how he goes next year.

Given our draft hand for next year we'll never use a future 4th so the cost is nothing and he replaces a player that got us pick 37.  Most don't rate either.  Good trading I say.

Him and Oliver grew up playing junior representative footy in regional Victoria. They're very close mates and so are their families. I remember when I had a fair bit of involvement in Schach

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

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
