VFL Rd: 3 Northern Blues vs. Sandringham

[crashlander]

Casboult needs what Stefan Martin got at Brisbane and that responsibility..he needs rucking more and getting more involved in general play.
Mick turned a dud like Leigh Brown into a footballer by giving him responsibility and playing to his strengths rather than trying to make him a KP defender only...we should let Casboult run around more, crash into opposing players and be a presence....

Most of Casboult's best games have started with the lad making a big tackle or chase and gaining confidence from it. Certainly when he brings someone down, especially when it is not expected, he lefts and starts taking big marks.
To be honest, I think that is why he gets played as the primary ruckman at VFL level: it gets him into the play instead of letting him rot in the forward line. Unfortunately Casboult does not appear to have the recovery to make a serious contribution after he goes for the tap. he reads the ball poorly for a guy who can take such a strong grab. He also uses he body relatively poorly.
