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 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
