I would drop marchbank for balance if it’s needed, well before Casboult. He has been a steady rock in defence and one of the rare bright lights.
As for Polson, I watched the 2nds and he did what he always does, SFA. Hardly touches it runs around like a headless chook guarding space and shanks it every one of his 5-7 touches.
If we are serious the new coach will delist him at years end. Won’t make it. Need to move on and stop justifying running around in circles is enough to be promoted. I know we are the bottom team but he is that far below afl level it’s not funny.
McGovern, and Charlie, are only 50-odd game players. Marchbank isn't even at that stage. Casboult has more experience than any 2 of that 3 combined.....but his output doesn't reflect that. There is also the problem of finding a matchup for him. I haven't really watched the Lions this year so not sure if one exists, but most teams would see Casboult lining up at CHB and design a playbook around their CHF to exploit him.
How many ways can someone exploit Charlie if he were to play CHB?
As for Polson...
Think about Teague. How many touches did he get each week? How was his disposal? How was his effort? Polson is a mini teague, he just plays a different position.
