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.
Firstly,
Jack Silvagni is 18yo.
Levi Casboult is 27.
As such, we expect more from Levi than we do a teenager. Levi didn't play a game until he was 22.
Secondly,
Your %'s are out of whack. AFL website includes missed shots altogether.
Jack (15.14.4(oob) = 45.5%
Levi (23.13.7(oob) = 53.5%
8% difference between them, not 30.
Thirdly,
I've pointed out that it was one of Casboults best games. I have often said that he has the best hands in the league. When i evaluate him, i take all that into account.
2 things really rub me the wrong way with him.
- He's been in the system for long enough now. He is still struggling with the basics of the game. Mental or otherwise.
- He simply cannot be relied upon with the ball in his hands to win you the game. Who was the last bloke with a shot on goal for us yesterday? Could've put us 9 points up deep in the last quarter.
Finally,
There is no hatred of him.
Just want for the best for the club. Having a below par key forward will not take us to the ultimate success.
