He is a liability most of the time as he doesn't work hard enough, failing to get seperation from his opponent. His kicking is horrific. A highlights reel of contested marks is great, but at his age, he is unlikely to improve.
Could imagine a few teams willing to look at him.
The only issue is that perhaps being on the list another year may act as a bridge season so curnow and mckay can develop. But when casboult has only managed a goal a game as it is this year, his absense may not present as much of a problem.
He won't be getting trade unless he chooses to go. Carlton rate him and in the short term, need him. I'm not interested what they average. You can contribute without necessarily scoring. You notice we scored alot more this year when we've had two key forwards playing.
His absence, until the others develop, would be a problem. Problem is we went in alot this year with a structure of one key forward, making life tough for him, not his fault, it's the clubs. Especially after that injury. We've struggled to score. Those that don't understand that blame the player. Imagine if we trade him and have no real key forwards. Notice when he gets help he's alot better? Last year showed that, he was one of the few things to work, yesterday showed it again.
