VFL Rd: 3 Northern Blues vs. Sandringham

[northernblue]

He didn't play in round 1 did he? The others' form is relevant if he was no worse then it's unreasonable IMO and Cas had proven himself to have talent and had smashed the preseason. Now he's just another player that is underperforming end bereft of confidence.

Carrots... You keep repeating this shiite.

Tell us how many goals he kicked in his blistering preseason, please.

So says you Jim... Geez
Everyone else thinks he's a fwd/ruck... You seem to think he's the first ruck... If that's the case what's wood doing in the team ?

Doesn't matter what people think reality is this is what he is. What do we do, drop him for his lack of goalkicking and bring in another who can't take a mark or kick a goal. How much of a winner was that?

What part of Henderson and Jones as key forwards don't you understand. When we have to two KP forwards Casboult's position is one of the two ruckmen. He's not there to necessarily boot any more goals than any other ruckman. His job in that case is to ruck and take some marks around the ground. Is he doing that? Yes. Yet he gets dropped for goalkicking while taking more marks than our other two rucks put together. You don't see the folly in that????

If he was selected at FF to occasionally pinch hit in the ruck, then his job would be to boot a few goals but we have two blokes we've picked to do that job. Your main job is one or the other. Then the second part becomes a bonus. You think he's a genius and will kick 40 goals while spending half his time in the ruck? He is in form rucking and marking.

Don't care when you're played as a ruckman.

Casboult>>>>>>>Warnock..its that simple...

Lets see if Mick thinks the same as you do. Something tells me he won't do it.

Casboult will come in for Henderson(injured) I would think but you are right he will probably continue with Warnock.....

[Rational_Expectations]

Agree. Though if I were running the show Warnock would only ever play when Wood and Kreuzer aren't playing. Complete liability and redundant otherwise.

[Thryleon]

I don't know how everyone else missed it but Wood played second ruck/forward and Jagged two goals there whilst knockers did most of the first ruck duties.

The tactic was floated prior to the game and Wood gave us about what Casboult would have except he actually hit the scoreboard.

Warnock gave us less around the ground and more in the ruck though.

Frankly I'd play Warnock all season hoping someone wants a tap ruckman given we have written off the year whilst wood and Casboult alternative second ruck duties.

[JonDorotich]

Would it be possible to simply play Casboult at FF for a whole game? Don't mind whether it's in the VFL or Seniors.

We seem determined to never find out what he can do!

Yes, Wood jagged a couple of goals but the rest of his game was rubbish.  Ch 7 actually put together a montage of his worst efforts and some of his marking efforts were comical.  Casboult hasn't made much of an impact on the scoreboard but his marking around the ground and his physicality is his strength and we missed both very badly on Friday.

That Grundy towelled up both Warnock and Wood is not surprising, both struggle against mobile opponents.
