Welcome to Tigers: Jason Castagna

He is still putting on pressure , this enables our frantic attack on the ball, he is doing his job.

Needs to practice his goal kicking during the week.

I've always been shaky on George. Just don't see it like some seem to.
Agree need to send a message. Didn't do B Ellis or McIntosh any harm. Out next week.

Agree, he's another one of those poor decision-makers with average disposal skills however he is elite in his forward defence ability. His defensive pressure is not negotiable because of this but even being elite at that you have to pressure the scoreboard regularly and the fact is he hasn't socred a gol in the last 4 games. Not good enough and can't be carried against the better sides.

Pretty pure pressure acts stats again for Castagna this week. He has dropped off considerably the last couple of games.

The same excuse we trotted out for Steven Morris.

What with his 1 tackle against the Sinners?
 
Is he playing in the reserves tomorrow? He should be right to go because he did sweet FA last night.
Why are we waiting for him to lose us a game because he can't kick to save himself.
Hardwick defend himself last week, fair enough but this week he is undefendable.

Steve Morris was the pioneer test pilot for our premiership game plan.

Legend.
But wasn’t Morris just trying to replicate Jakey King?

Jake King says hello.
Funny isn’t it Jake started his Coburg career as an attacking back pocket then transformed that into the AFL and I reckon the only reason we moved him forward was because clubs kept taking him to the goal square and he was constantly beaten in the air, then went on to be a very handy pressure forward, I think our record without him in that period was very poor.

George has done the same, started as a back pocket and now a pressure forward.

Must kick straight tomorrow. Cannot afford to be wasteful against good opposition.

Relax. Collingwood are *smile*.
If we are switched on tomorrow get ready for a comfortable 8 goal win.
Their backline has the biggest duds in it. Howe, Maynard, greenwood, crisp.
If jack plucks a few he will kick his biggest bag on the year.
Crisp can't kick
Greenwood can't kick
Adams can't kick.
We win it feeding off their mistakes
 
Was good today, particularly in the 1st half. Loved how they all came for him when he kicked the first goal of the game.
