Just on Casboult, here's an interesting thing to ponder about him.

In our 10 wins over the last 2 years, he has kicked a total of 9 goals! So when we are playing well under BB he is almost always a non factor. Not sure how you could say with any certainty based on this that he would kick more goals in a better side. Yes he may get better service from the guys up the field, but he is also going to be competing with other competent forwards for the ball.

I agree with Jeza on a lot of things, but I think this is a big stretch.

Love how those with agendas take simple stats use it to justify their agenda. You do know that after he took 11 marks, and kicked 3.2 in the win against Collingwood last year he hurt his knee in the first minute of the next win against Port and was off for the day and was never the same for the rest of the year. The previous two wins to that were against Freo and Essendon in utterly dreadful games where the ball didn't come in at all well. Both could've qualified as the worst game of the year by a mile. Ball wasn't exactly coming in like it would'v been if he was playing for a top side like the Crows. Actually got 16 possession against Freo that day, including 6 marks, just didn't kick very straight. You also know in the Essendon win this year conditions were so dreadful that our key forwards weren't kicking goals.

You reckon if he wasn't playing for a side like Adelaide, who average way more than us and get the ball in way more clearly he wouldn't kick alot more goals. Ball would be flying into an open forward line giving him away more one on ones. He's have to share more but Adelaide kick alot more too. Like, really, that is simple. If you're going to use simple stats think a bit more.
