I want to know how many times we went to Casboult for that goal return, and how that compares to any other AFL forward?
Irrespective, the stats are going to include times we went to him and probably shouldn't have because he was double teamed and there were free men elsewhere (which is my biggest gripe).

That is irrelevant.

The wrong decisions happen to every player, not every player gets such exclusive focus for so very very little return!
Lets look at the bright side, Casboult must be super fit, because if Jarryd Roughead or Tom Hawkins had so much of the footy coming their way they would be so exhausted from repeat efforts the team would have to carry them off the ground.
Remember that day we tried to get Fev his ton against the Dawks?
Meat just strolls along off the ground with the rest, what a man!
Who would you rather have showing the kids the way?

Most of us are well aware of Casboult's limitations but the bottom line is that as of today he's the best of a bad lot.
He'll be in the side this weekend and will probably be for the rest of the season, and maybe again next year unless at least one of our project players takes the necessary step, as supporters of a poorly performing side we just have to live with it.

Spot on. The club is also no doubt all to painfully aware of Levi's limitations but know that we are not really well placed to replace him immediately. I don't stress about him atm as I have confidence that one of the club's high priorities would be to do something about it, and hopefully we have guys on board who may provide at least part of the solution. I am troubled though by what we all witnessed last Sat which involved a hell of a lot more players than just Levi, and hopefully we can put that nightmare behind us this week. I will be watching via TV with great anticipation and a few beers handy.

They've had almost 10 years, how long does it take?
How much of what we saw is the result of deflated spirits, is low performance contagious?
What are the potential long term effects on the kids we draft, is there any risk?

BB and SOS haven't been there for 10 years already? Gee, that time just flew. ???
So you don't think Harry or Kerr are likely to be the answers - should we go after Lynch?

Do you think starting 2018 that Casboult is a new untested prospect?
The club has had a long time to address the Casboult / KPF issue, it's hasn't just happened since BB and SOS arrived.
In regard to Kerr and McKay, I've written the exact opposite of what you conclude, I have no idea where the other half of the conversation in your head is coming from.

Harry and Kerr may or may not make the grade, we've had plenty of would be key position players over the last decade and so far we've come up empty handed.
I doubt that Lynch would see Carlton as an attractive destination, if he leaves GC my money would be on him going to a top four club, or at least a club with the potential to be top four.
As of now Carlton is a long way from that.
