I am with you yet when we are in a critical point in a must win match and George has a to kick a goal. I sort of cringe and watch through my fingers and he invariably slots it cleanly. Remember the 2017 final when George had that shot? That was the time I knew we had won the GFGeorge really, really worries me. For some years I've been having a recurring nightmare that he has to kick after the siren from about 30 out on a 45 dgree angle for us to win the Preliminary Final. However, I always wake up just as he kicks the ball....so I never actually know whether he slots it or not. Drives me crazy! Not making this up and hope that it never becomes a reality. In terms of skill execution, he'd have to be pretty close to the most unreliable player on our list.
Can't teach that skill - its all natural ability!You know the funny thing is that Castagna often pauses raises his head sees the obvious option and then completely ignores it.
How dare he do that. Tigers supporters are the only ones allowed to troll our players!Why is Tom Papley trolling George?
Tom said why isn’t anyone got Castagna as Brownlow favourite
Agree on Port and Eagles games. We should have won both and would now be sitting pretty well inside the 8. Top 4 would still be a chance and we'd be just about guaranteed a home final in first week. George's errors played a big part in us not winning either game. But the Scum beat us by 3 goals and we could hardly move in the last quarter; we were gone in that game.It's hard to blame one bloke for a team that has played poorly most of the year but George had three 'moments' where the right decision could have won us the game and fluffed his lines every time. Port where his eagerness to get to the ball as usual betrays the fact that he had no idea once he got there. Ergo he runs over a ball which actually stops dead in the goal square and Gray handballs through Loss 1.
West Coast inside last two minutes when we are ahead collects at half forward from a clever Dusty kick has 3 free Richmond players running down right half forward with only goals in sight. Runs on to his non preferred foot and snaps. Intercept, rebound, goal to West Coast Loss 2.
Collingwood. Last quarter. We are just in front or just behind . Castagna free ball on rebound running about 25 metres outside 50 Lynch 30 metres clear in front of Collingwood's last defender running into goal. Castagna kicks to Riewoldt on the Boundary. No goal. Richmond lose by 5.
After Castagna burnt Jack Brisbane got the next two. Had they snagged the win I would have been obliged to get a Georgie Voodoo doll and extra heavy duty pins.
I don't think we could ever afford him but we were so good we could carry him. The change in the rules amongst other things means we cannot carry him any longer.
Trade. Trade. Trade.Only Tiger today without a single tackle.
Can someone please remind me what position he’s playing?
No one would want him on this year's form and they'd be asking serious questions about his ability to capture his form from 2017-2020. It seems quite obvious he had major part to play in a football system that now appears dead and buried and can't adapt.Trade. Trade. Trade.
