Rd 13: Post Game Patter: Carlton vs GC

That was me and I stand by what I wrote; without Casboult providing a contest in the ruck while Kreuzer was recovering, Gold Coast would have run over us.

Standing in and getting beaten in the ruck makes him important to the win? I don't think he was instrumental at all in ruck duels in last and I gave credit to him early in the first because he looked fantastic, but I can look at the rest of the game and see he let the team down particularly in the last 45-50 minutes (despite still taking come good marks at times).

By the last he looked completely shot and it looked like those around him knew it also.
