No that impressive, some of us pretty much carry around an extra 50 kegs everydaycaesar said:
If it’s anything like the RS nominations then some of the people making the decisions didn’t even bother watching our game.zippadeee said:
Remember as a reserves player George was tried in the backline? Disposal was an issue. Then in the midfield, where he'd rack up 30 plus disposals but disposal was an issue...
Be interesting to see hin in the midfield these days with all our injuries but still more versatile players for rotations.
With Flossy back we have Astbury/Broad/Grimes/Garth/Stack and Houli...with Edwards possibly getting released back to midfield/ roatations.
And to roate forward/midfield we have Higgins/Rioli/Bolton/Lambert/Caddy/Baker/Martin.
Wouldn't mind seeing George in the midfield just to see what he could produce. Having said that, he is pretty valuable forward atm... but we have enough rotations to have a look at it in short bursts.

Think it's decided on public votes. And it looks as though he did win Goal of the Week.

George cannot keep playing and having stats like he did yesterday despite his pressure acts.
He needs to get back to the Ressies and get some leather poisoning.
Good to see him kick a set shot through the big sticks for a change .

Thing is he wasn't even good with his pressure yesterday. Just 2 tackles and 24 pressure acts. Exactly the same as Lynch. Admittedly the other small forwards weren't prolific in that area due to Hawks game style but at least these others can influence in other areas. Baker for example will kick the clutch goals when they present and took some ripper marks in the 2nd half. Bolton had some great contested ball wins and is unpredictable making him very dangerous. Rioli despite not having a great season can do everything Castagna can pressure wise but is also a clever player and can make something happen out of nothing. And Higgins despite his young age is very clever and makes the most of his opportunities and can still influence a game even if he's having a quiet one. Castagna had two quarters of 1 disposal, zero contested possessions, zero goal assists, just 3 acore involvements and one goal which was given on a platter and could have been raffled amongst 3 Tiger players. If his pressure game is taken away from him what do you actually have left?
I love the competition for spots. It wasn't that long ago that we couldn't find players of quality to take on that role, now we have a plethora of them, even after offloading Lloyd and Stengle. It's a great position to be in. No blight on Castagna, in another team he's probably easy top 22. At the Tigers I think he's much lower int he pecking order due to the depth we have in that area.
