No opposition will take Casboult seriously because they know Casboult hurts us as much if not more than he hurts them! If I was an opposition coach I'd be looking at defensive structures that ensure Casboult is Carlton's go to option.
Casboult on his best free wheeling day kicks 3 or 4 goals and Carlton probably lose, Charlie looks like he could kick 10 tomorrow.
As 2nd banana to Charlie I'm afraid Casboult draws no heat, and have no doubt Casboult is already 2nd banana. We need a 2nd KPF that will attract some defensive focus to allow Charlie to flourish.
Maybe Rowe and Charlie is a viable F50 setup, would Rowe, Charlie, Silvagni, Marchbank be a potential option?
Ultimately it should be McKay, Kerr, Charlie, Silvagni but we cannot carry all those kids at the moment, we need an experienced older head in there, but one that can lead the kids not feed off them.
Casboult 1st banana or 2nd banana....he's better than whoever is 3rd banana.
It sucks but its true.
Rowe, long term, is not really a better option up forward than Casboult. Age not on his size.
Marchbank forward is taking away our best performed defender to date. Is it worth it? No.
McKay should get a game, and i'm not opposed to sending Casboult back to the 2's to do so, but i know our scoring power would be down because McKay is still finding his feet.
We need to play Casboult, McKay AND Curnowfides together. The latter should draw the heat, and can roam through the wing if need be. The other 2 can fight over 2nd and 3rd defender, and we can exploit that.
Its not a good place to be, but we need Casboult in the side. The sooner you accept that, the better off you'll be. Come post R23 though, all bets are off.
