Rd 13: Pre Game posturing: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[mateinone]

It doesn't add up only because you have an agenda with Levi. If a longer ball comes in where are the defenders going to go, to your only tall marking option. He's paid to be our forward and ruck, a job he is doing pretty well this well. He'd had a good year this year, much like 2015 and it's proven you wrong, something rarely posters admit to.

I am just going to address this point, because you are wrong.
I am not a fan of Levi, I openly state that and don't snipe from behind that, but I never called for him to be dropped. I asked simply whether or not it would be better to move another medium/tall out and try another small in there if we have H and Levi in there.

I asked this because you don't see a lot of forward lines with a 200cm and 198 cm working together and thought if we have both I would want a lot of ground speed in there, hence.. do you move SOS out of the forward line for a week.
I don't think Levi is doing a good job this year, I think he is almost serviceable or even possibly passable, but no more and I don't hide that. He hasn't proven me wrong, his game this weekend again was nothing special and happen to include two very important misses from easy shots.

I am open when I am criticising Levi, my signature for goodness sake criticises him, so I am not sniping.
And as I said in this exact thread.. I would be more comfortable with Levi & Weiters or H and Weiters, simply because I am comfortable with Weitering's ability at ground level.

As for admitting when I am wrong. I am vocal in my criticism of Liam Jones as well (or have been), yet I am loving this new born defender at the moment and thought he was sensational on the weekend. You might like the idea of 2 x 2m forwards (or thereabouts) I am not 100% convinced by it. On occasion it will work and I fear on occasion it is possibly too tall.

I use Collingwood as an example as they have played very tall at times and it was atrocious.

You might find my dislike of what Casboult has given the club distasteful and you know what that is fine, you are entitled to it does not worry me in the slightest. Just as I find it a little sickening that his output is defended as something we should find acceptable for an AFL footballer. Our standards should be so much higher than that (imo), but that belongs in the Levi Casboult thread. Levi has not come close to proving me wrong, Levi of 2017 still isn't good enough to be a regular player in a good team and needs to be replaced. If you think otherwise all power to you.

My question in this thread was simple.. Is H good enough at ground level that we can play him and Cas and SOS (who is yes more of a medium/tall) or do we swap out SOS and put someone (even a Pickett) so that we have more pace at the fall of the ball?

It has been mentioned that H is quick, which is great. So if that also equates to on the ground pressure then there is no worry. I don't know enough about H's forward pressure to say either way, hence I ask the question.
