we've let many good forwards go in the last few years because of the things they can't do (Betts couldn't kick goals in big games - apparently...), Fev couldn't keep his doodle in his pants, or his manners under control, Jeffy was too soft, etc...
How about we think about what Cas can do. He can be 2nd ruck, he can kick a goal and a bit a game, and he can take BIG contested marks up the field.
So - forget his name is Levi, and ask what you'd pay for a bloke who can do all that? And don't mention the misses, everybody misses now and then, and his misses are already accounted for in his goal and a bit a game.
You'd pay good money for all that, because they're a little bit rare. Which teams have someone who does that role who is better than Cas? I'm sure there's a few (Lobb/Westhoff), and I bet they're on pretty good coin. Cas does all that, and he isn't as good as them, so he won't be paid as much as them. But he's gotta be worth something half decent.
I'm not saying pay him too much, just pay him what he's worth, and I don't have a clue what that number is, but the club will know. I'd hate to see another leading goal kicker get sent packing when we've got nothing better to replace him with. Especially if it's over $50K or so.
