George upgraded

[AngryAnt]

This forum never fails to fill me with happiness at times. :clap :cutelaugh

If only we could put Castegna's skill into Hampson's body

Really needs to have more composure with the ball. He tends to spray it all too often.

 

[69 vintage]

Not ready this year but he's a kepper .
33 possessions today but our chip it around gameplan is shocking it absolutely kills the forward line .

 

[UKTiger]

Apparently from todays VFL game reports he celebrated his elevation with a kick and spray game. Anyone able to confirm that?

If George grew that big within these 12 months, we'd have ASADA knocking on our door. ;D

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... ;D

Not a comprehensive review at all but I saw the 2nd half and some good indications there from him.

Jason Castagna (33 disposals, 15 contested possessions, seven clearances)
Again was very impressive, playing off half-back and through the midfield. Won plenty of contested ball and also provided good run-and-carry. Continues to show really exciting signs for the future.

Alternatively Castagna is showing some good signs. If he can just tidy up his disposal and not rush it..

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of George in 2016. Definite upgrade to seniors I reckon.

How soon could he or Menadue take on the role slated for Yarran?

 

[Chimptastic]

We just lost a former rookie with good contested stats and speed. For those who've seen him play regularly, can he play midfield like Foley?

In time Georgie could be that player. I am amazed just how well he has come on this year. Will prove to be an absolute bargain once he learns some more composure. He has no trouble finding his own ball, just hurries his use at the moment (early Rance-like) And he is far quicker than even Foley was.

To what extent can composure be taught?

A lot. Remember early Rance? Now look at him.

Actually thought Rance was very composed in his earliest year. He then had that heavy head clash, missed quite a bit of footy and came back a lot more rushed. I think for Rance it was just the confidence building aspect. Can't comment on Castagna.

 

[Long Lost Hernaman]

To my memory Rancey was captain calamity in the early days.

You'd like to think the more you play the more comfortable you'd become, VFL should be perfect for a 2 year apprenticeship

But for every Rance there is a JON and a Gordon and a ...

Composure is very coachable.

Often it'll simply come with elite fitness and conditioning.

True Carts.. Fitness, conditioning and experience.

He just needs to believe.

Just remember, Jerry, it's not a lie if you believe it!
