Welcome to Tigers: Jason Castagna
- Thread starter evo
- Start date
What he did tonight was what he did most of last year. Created so many chances but butchered them. He didn't get dropped last year so cant see it happening this year.
Like the pro golfer who can’t putt. Find a technique & a routine & practice until it works. No momentum through kicking impact after stutter walk in. Acceleration based run up like Ben Brown would serve him well for a start.
Take his pace away and you have a suburban footballer. Has now become a liability. Stengle please.

This. His technique changed and he introduced a Kennedy style stutter to his run up. Why he changed his technique I have no idea.
Stengle must come in for Castagna; thought Bolton's game was better for an inexperienced guy in his 9th game compared to a premiership player in his 44th. Bolton only had the 9 Ds at 55.6 %DE. Castagna had 14 at 42.9%. Really poor. His low skills just kill scoring, often as much by hand as much as foot. When the heat comes on, he just crumples.
5 points and don't forget the dropped chest mark with no opponent due to bloody good shepherding off the ball, bugger I can remember another passage of play as well.
How do you get him to calm the *smile* down? We are done against good opposition if Castagna ends up being the last link in the chain for a good proportion of our attacks - like tonight.
Does he need some time in the twos? I don't see how it would help but something has to change.

Nice to have our glory days back at the Tigers!
Ok I have tried being patient with this guy, but enough is enough and I am not talking about just tonight's game, he has plenty of games similar to tonight. This kid needs to go back to the VFL team to sort out his finishing and goal-kicking, he has been giving plenty of patience due to being a part of the premiership side. Dimma just said he was terrific and played really well. Hope he is not saying the same behind closed doors. Why doesn't Sam Lloyd and Jacob Townsend get extended opportunities like Costanga does, both of them can put as much pressure on as Costanga, have a higher skill level and are more efficient in front of goal.
