Goaltracker

[kruddler]

So feel free to tee off on casboult then and we'll all shut up about it because you were right about something to do with fevola...

Cas can kick straight, all but lead the league for contested marks, lead our goal kicking... And you can complain about how his left shoe lace is too short and we'll all agree he should be dropped / traded / shot.

I get the need to criticise our players when they are going badly but this feels more like some built up opinions that some people can't let go.

That Fev bit was specifically for Jimbo. It makes a point that others won't get.

As for Casboult, ask yourself a few questions.
1. Would you feel comfortable with the ball in his hands to win you a game of footy after the siren? Grand Final?
2. Do you think he would be a part of this side if we were legitimately vying for a flag?
3. Are you content with him as our FF/CHF for the medium-long term?

My answer to all of those questions is no.
That does not mean i don't appreciate what he does on the field.
That does not mean i don't cheer him on as much as the next bloke.
That does not mean i wish anything bad for him.

What it does mean is i want the best for this club.
What it does mean is that i think we need to make some hard calls on some players.
What it does mean is that I think Casboult needs to be replaced for the benefit of the club....and some others too

Nothing personal.

It's very easy for someone to say that a bloke like.....Dan Gorringe should get the chop at the end of the year. He is not in our long term future, blah blah. Well...why is that different to Casboult? Because he is playing games of footy? Doesn't mean he is up to standard, just means the cupboard is bare, and has been for a long time.
