Just on Casboult, i thought it played well. Probably the most CM's i've seen him take in a game. Still, failed to really make a difference on the scoreboard. 1.2 was his output. 3.0 wins us the match. But as others will point out, others missed goals too. This is true. But he misses them every week!
Contrast to someone like Jack Silvagni.
Only got the ball 8 times. Managed to kick 3 goals straight.
I love your comparison.
Jack Silvagni has kicked 15.14 for the year (most of those misses were from set shots - many of them very gettable). He also hoiked one out on the full which you didn't mention.
Cas has kicked 23.13 for the year. So a full 30% better at shooting for goal than Jack.
Cas is also number 1 in the league for contested marks. Yep - number 1. Yet he's in your view a "stop gap"?
If we lost him to free agency it would be an unmitigated disaster.
I don't get your hatred of Casboult. I had him in our best 2 or 3 players yesterday and top 5 in our B&F.
