Casboult won't be getting dropped any time soon.
If gorringe comes in it will be at someone else's expense.
Can't afford to drop Casboult. At worst he'll get the number one defender and at best he will get the second best defender.

I sort of agree with those suggesting Levi be dropped. My reasoning is:
- We have tried him there and it doesnt seem to have worked (ie his kicking is still woeful)
- If its a confidence thing, he should go to the 2's like anyone else and work on the deficiencies until the are rectified.
If however he is there to do a multitude of roles (ie like back up ruck) and he is doing them as per instructions, then I can understand why he is being kept in the side. I can also understand that given he is an elite mark, then as long as we have the ball in our hands, its better than it falling to ground and gathered by the opo defenders.
Levi frustrates the hell out of supporters because he is a terrific kid, a hard trainer and does everything right...except kick feckin goals. Maybe we just need to chilax given its just rnd 1 of a new dawn. He might just click one day, just hope its sooner rather than later.

Exactly!
Gorringe will have to do more than kick 3 goals in a VFL practice match before he takes anyone's spot. He has been groomed for a third tall role but I can't see him displacing Everitt and he's well behind Phillips as second ruck.

Nah mate, tighter than a snare drum these days which is in itself a good thing.

Too soon for Levi to get dropped IMO. I think BB will persevere with him for 2 - 3 games to see if he can come good, and hopefully provide him with some assistance to practice his goal kicking in the meantime. We have to really find out for sure about him and there aren't too many other similar alternatives atm.
My tip would be one change only, Daisy in, probably for Buckley.

I really don't think Levi's goal kicking is all that important to Bolton. It's whether he plays his role in the team that will determine whether he gets a game or not. Kicking a few goals will help though.
I was thinking Daisy for Buckley but I'm not so sure now. Daisy won't provide the defensive pressure in the forward 50 that Buckley did. I think that Daisy will come in, but I'm not sure who will go out.

I guess the pressure on Levi to kick goals depends very much on whether we can find other avenues to goal. If we can and Levi can provide a marking target that can set up attacking plays and cause problems for opposition defences plus kick the odd goal then agree, he would be safer.
Agree, finding someone to make way for Daisy is not an easy choice, so if Daisy does come in he better put in a good one!
