Rd 1 Carlton vs Richmond Post Game Prognostications

[PaulP]

It is not an Everitt vs Cas discussion though who have different roles.

Cas played such a great game but hoping he just had a bad day at the office with his kicking which came good last year. Calling for him to be dropped is so naive though as Cas was the key link in the chain to transition the ball from defense to forward which is one of the most important aspects of the game with pressing / flooding / zones / etc.

Everitt is weak. Gets pushed around. Limp efforts. Can't tackle. The number 2 in the G column doesn't cover all sins.

Well, I'm not calling for Cas to be dropped. I'm also hoping he had an off night, but I doubt it. What I think he needs is drastic emergency surgery to make him a  more reliable and accurate kick for goal. There is simply no point in kicking it to him if he can't goal.

And I agree on Everitt. He has his faults, but goals count for a lot. As I said, if I were a CFC player I'd be more inclined to bust a boiler getting the ball into his hands for a shot on goal rather than Cas.
