Welcome to Tigers: Jason Castagna

All he needs to do is get a bit more ball. He's a little beast who has pure speed to burn and endurance of an elite middle distance runner. And a leap. Rare traits when combined.
Go George

And it's because of our good recruiting that we have more smalls available in Rioli, Bolton, Stengle, Higgins and Eggs, etc. so those four in the 1's know they have to perform, or else. Seems incredible that our recruiting was a joke for so long, but not now.
 
Looks like that mindfulness is working a treat.

George playing poised?

That’s a forty goal year and bingo, one of the best small forwards in the game.

One of the first picked ;)
 
George was dynamic on Thursday night and critical in the Richmond resurrection after Carlton's five goal head start. As soon as he was injected into the contest after starting on the bench, he snapped a fine goal on a tight angle in Q1 and got first hands on a centre bounce after streaming off half back at a million miles an hour. In heavy traffic, he evaded one and then let fly with a scintillating handball sideways out of the congestion to a loose Dustin Martin, who could've walked out of the square after George opened up a paddock for him. To prove that wasn't a fluke, he did it again in Q1 creating space for none other than Dustin Martin. Two goals and a direct assist was just reward for his surprisingly improved nerve and phenomenal workrate.

I give extra points for players who are unshaken when everything is going against them/the team. Castagna didn't just help to arrest Cartlon's momentum, he was one of our most influential in turning the game our way as soon as he stepped on the park. In the Richmond votes for mine. A breakout performance.
 
Yeah Castagna was good, Wouldn't have him top 3 but both he (2 goals 3 goal assists) and Butler (3 goals, 3 goal assists) did their jobs admirably. You'd take a combined 5 goals 6 assists from those two every day of the week.

Great obs. He literally did bolt off that HBF after his goal, and he had the clean hands and vision to dish out that handpass.

His pressure is phenomenal. I too thought it his best game for the tigers, I gave him a vote.

Terrible game. His only real strength is his manic pressure. Without it he is just a suburban footballer

I think he might have kicked a goal or two over his short career. :confused :confused

So he had a poor game
