Casboult is 26, has 70 games under his belt and averages under a goal and less than 10 possessions per game.
It would be different if he was a young kid on the way up but his numbers this season are near enough to or just under his career averages, what you see with Levi is what you get.
If that's the situation then the question becomes "is Casboult worth more to us as a part of our team, or is he worth more to us as a trade option. I see him as a player who actually has a bit of trade value, certainly more than many on the list who are sometimes suggested as good trade options.
To get something of value you have to give up something of value.When McKay, Curnow, Silvagni and maybe a player like young Ben Silvagni are our forward line will there be a place for a player who takes a good mark but is only a 50/50 proposition as a goalkicker?
A player like Casboult may have enough value for another team who are prepared to pay a good price. But we won't know that until negotiations start. If we get a good offer we should definitely consider it because we know what we've got with Casboult and there isn't much more to learn.
