Managed is the term for JVR.  We must not forget the kid is only 19 and wouldn't have played as many games as he has so far if BBB and TMac were available.  But after this performance he will only get 1 weeks "rest" in the VFL.

Jefferson kicks 4, but easy ones.  The kid has huge potential, reads the play, great pair of hands, but has little physical presence yet.  He also has to learn to jump off the ground when going for marks.  Not close to senior selection, but will be next year.

JJ just too good, and after this showing must replace Harmes next week.

Verrell.  Only his 2nd game, actually did better last week, but again a long way from senior selection, especially for a ruck.

 

Nah, kids a bust, don't you read Demonland? He has no "presence". Mind you, there is probably one in a thousand AFL 19y olds that have "presence". I think those ones are called "generational players".

    Shame we don't get a replay of that from Roo. Great play.

    The VFL is totally videoed each week and available in the AFL website. All Casey goals are repeated on our website generally each week. 

    it appears you are not utilising the AFL or our websites for info and club news.

    Getting a replay when it happens and watch the game again later is not quite the same thing.

    Isn’t this the intention when dropping promising youngsters? That they play well and get some confidence and form?

    JVR will have to come back as we figure out how to play without our best forward but there was nothing wrong with a 19 year old playing ‘2s’… that’s the least of querysome selection decisions of late.

    • 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.
