2017 Rd 2 Pre Game Panic Carlton vs Melbourne

[DJC]

I don't understand the love/hate opinion people have of Casboult.
I was at the game and yeah he could've done more but so could've 21 other blokes :
He was still marking strongly and he nailed two lovely set shot goals he would've missed last year.
His confidence is up, 2 from 2 so lets drop him :o
He doesn't get more shots because he is not being played as a stay at home Forward. He plays up the ground with the rest of our bl**dy players leaving open Bolton's Backyard!
He has become a marking link player, marking on the wing and kicking into the Forward 50, whereas he should be the receiver in the 5.
He definitely plays in the Battle of the Beards with Gawn!

That's pretty much how I saw Casboult's game too, although he kicked 1.1, not two goals.  I was directly behind his first effort and it looked like it was a goal from the moment it left his boot but it tailed off at the last minute.

Anyway, I suspect Bolts and the match committee value Casboult's work just a little higher than those folk who seem to have chosen him as the 2017 whipping boy
