Footage of training shows Rowe and Casboult competing in ruck contests and Casboult involved in stoppage drills. It may be just to provide cover while Phillips is out but it's possible that Jim may get his wish and Casboult will play as key forward and back up ruckman.
My concerns about Casboult's knee injury preventing him from rucking appear to be without foundation.

Footage I saw also shows Marchbank slotting a beautiful goal from tight against the fence on the wrong side for a right footer. Hmmmm.

I don't smoke or partake of other mind altering substances but I reckon there could be some truth in K's statement. Vickery's main problem has been feckwittery and the Hawks environment may fix that.
Reality always wins in the end.

Clarkson is a very good coach but he's not a miracle worker

I will be watching with interest. I did hear that he'd also ordered in five loaves and two fishes for the Hawks next family day.

* This is assuming he doesn't succumb to injury.....i need these caveats in the same post because you seem to dig them up later and ignore them in an attempt to point score.
I sort of hope you're right, because he's an embarrassment to the game. Personally I think the Fugu Kick Specialist is more likely to turn left into a goal post and do a Where is Wally for the remainder of the game. He has a tendency to make Kosi look coherent!
