Seems Castagna has already had his papers stamped as 'first dropped whenever Hardwick needs scapegoats'.
I'm not sure a blinder would get him back into the side, but I am sure that if it did, he would still be first to go next time Hardwick gets his gameplan force-fed back to him by a superior coach. You know, all of them.

indeed.
season gone and we bring in a spud without a future at George's expense.
crazy town.
crazy Dimma.
If he was sent back to 'work on things he has learned' I don't see the problem with this. However, the fact he has been named as an emergency may well mean he doesn't get to play VFL this week. This, imo, is the poor part of the decision, as all young players need to move up and down depending upon the stage of their development.

He's just been dropped for Lambert. I'm assuming Lambert will not be dropped again because obviously he's our best player, and is first picked when fit. So if Castagna gets another shot, he would then be immediately replaced by Townsend, if I understand the Hardwick play book (which granted, no one does, including both him and the players).
Clearly Castagna spent too much time running with the ball toward the goal, creating and attacking, so naturally he's the type of player who Hardwick blames for a 70 point loss, and Townsend, who will just keep headbutting the ground until either he or it relents, will be the kind of player Hardwick trusts to steady the ship and guide us toward a respectable 2 goal loss.

Surely not too much, only had 3 kicks. This is why I don't have a problem with him being dropped - he'll be back up again.
Guess I'm just disillusioned with selection after 7 years.
Literally the only joy I would have had out of these last five games would have been in watching Castagna, Beanie, Menadue, etc.
I see, of course, the argument for dropping Castagna for Lambert, but not the point.
