I remember posting something prior to the season, after the recruiting of McGovern, and asking where did Casboult fit into things and most of the responses were along the lines of "playing in the VFL and maybe getting a call up when someone in the forward line is injured or if Kreuzer goes down". What an amazing turn around for big Levi. Slotted in perfectly down back when Jones went out with the concussion and then moved into a forward/ruck role when Charlie went down. We couldn't give him away last year but while his trade value would've rocketed, I certainly hope we hang onto him...still the best forward/ruck support option and has shown he can play down back with plenty of confidence. The same thing was said about Silvagni and how it was hard to see where he fitted in....now a perfect "anything" type player who can do a run with role, play as a defensive forward option etc.
The turnaround in the team/club in 10 weeks is nothing sort of staggering. Full credit to Teague and the players for embracing it and giving us all a little bit of confidence in really moving up next year. If the Coniglio thing turns out to be in our favour and if we can turn our first round pick into an experience player then anything is possible next year....slot in a fit and healthy Charlie and Docherty as well on top of Jones/Weitering who missed on Saturday.
