It helps. I'd rather our young players learn their role whilst Liam gets punched in the back of the head rather than them getting the number one defender.
I'm not holding onto hopes of him coming good, as it's pretty slim but he still has time enough to improve and become a decent player. Again like Simon white his presence helps us more for allowing us to develop youngsters without shattering their confidence.

He has to get a game for that to happen and, if he can't get the ball, he won't get a game.
If he did jag a game, there's no way the opposition would put their best defender on him. The third banana would be overkill :

This sounds like Levi's really stepped up in terms of physical development and commitment. If it translates to better running, combined with solid marking, improved kicking (and entry), we could have a power forward on our hands this year. I'm keen to see how Foster is developing too. We soooo need to fill this gap whilst we wait for the young guys

I don't want to necessarily go over old territory, but I seem to recall people were suggesting that Casboult had a ripping pre season last year.
Sounds like he has increased muscle mass and decreased weight which tells us that this was false information at best.
Perhaps we were just massively under done in season 2015 and had the result accordingly.
