Welcome to Tigers: Jason Castagna

Key word being “if”. But he doesn’t get 7 gettable shots at goal every week so strange comment from Wallace. He’s had 39 shots at goal (excluding OOTF) so he’s averaging 2.7 shots at goal every week for an average of 1.4 goals a game.Total Tiger said:
I thought he may have turned the corner, but over the last 3 or 4 games he has regressed.
He's like a part kelpie/blue heeler chasing a car. Full of endeavour but once the car stops his brain gets in a muddle and then has little idea how to execute the next phase.
He's ok if the car keeps going. No thought or execution required. Just instinct.

He's never snagged 5.0. He did manage 4.1 in his 9th game against the Lions. Other than that he's kicked 3 goals 3 times. Highest number of scoring shots he's had is 2-4 and 3-3. Kicking for goal is always going to be a bit of a weakness for Castagna so we either take it or leave it. He is a great forward pressure player so does that outweigh the negatives or do we have better talent elsewhere? No doubt though his wayward and panic kicking for goal on the weekend played a large in us losing the game.

Shouldn't be in the side if you need to handball off anywhere inside 50. He would kick 40 + if he could kick straight. Is never going to kick 5 straight , but if he can get that to 3.2 we would be happy
It would be great if he can fix the kicking, and I'm sure it is being worked on.
But the pressure he exerts frees up other players as well as giving him the opportunity to score. We remove Castagna and the opposition have another defender free.
Not a simple equation I reckon.

Issue is that he IS in the side and is in it to stay according to Dimma's presser. So my view is that as as team, we need to work around his shortcomings and look for other options.
Before his last 3 games of 0.7 his accuracy was at 58.75% - just under Toby Greene whose career goes at 59.73%. Or Robbie Gray who converts at 60.73%. And, in Toby's first 4 seasons, after 75 games he had kicked 34.29.
I reckon George will improve his accuracy as he gains more experience and improves his composure. Talk of getting rid of him or dropping him is laughable.
