I am very excited about Walsh. Hard at it leader in the Nathan Jones mould. Couldn't build a side around him but someone who will put in week in week out.
Reckon Tom Fields is a good player as well.
Yep Walsh is a real footballer....Cripps, Walsh are future leaders..
I dont mind Fields either, he is a 3rd tall defender in reality but being forced to play on KP players and will get goals kicked on him
but he uses the ball well and I think having it hard every week will make him a decent player...
Gowers isnt bad value either as a onballer.....
The Rookie list might be a saviour.....

I mean, just so I know for future reference.
Have an opinion bu all means... But spare us the fabrication to support your agenda.
I thought that was the job of the KP forwards to kick the goals, not the ruckman. We expect one of our ruckman to kick 2-3 a game. If they did that they'd be elite. This is the part many are not getting. He is doing a good job in the ruck, where he is selected.

Casboult is selected as a fwd/ruck and the team and coaches expect him to score as such.
You are correct that he is not expected to score 3-4+, 1 is good, 2 is great. I agree, his ruck work is ok.
My issue is with the claim of his "cracking preseason" I am still awaiting the information on exactly how many goals he kicked in his preseason...

It's all about numbers, time trials, weights, testing, aerobic capacity, recovery, etc., etc., Nothing to do with football!

His main job is to ruck, that job he has been doing well. One's doesn't drop him for not hitting the scoreboard if that's his job and doing it ok. Solution, play Warnock...lol!

I disagree, his main job is as a fwd, his secondary job is to relieve in the ruck.
Again, carrots claimed that he had "a cracking preseason" I asked how many goals he kicked in his "cracking preseason" seeing as the coach said that he wasn't picked originally because he wasn't contributing on the scoreboard... So it would seem that the coaches expect him to score...

I thought I read that he and Watson shared ruck duties ?
Besides I was referring to his role in the seniors.

NB is right. MM said that Meat hadn't been selected in the early games as his pre season game form was low. Before that he was talked up as one of our 3 tall forwards - forward emphasis. Though, personally, he does look better as a ruckman which I believe is where he played most of his junior footy. But Kreuz, Wood and even 206 would be in front of Meat as a 1st ruck. The bloke is in no-man's land and is playing like it.
