Lacks polish. Stengle and Bolton will give us what he does but with better skills / hurt

No they won't. They'd run out of gas by half time.

Not every player needs to be amazingly skilled. Castagna has manic pressure and pace. 8 tackles, 16 touches and a goal in game 7.

We just need him to be our Liam Picken.
 
16 disposals - 8 marks (equal best of anyone on ground) 8 trackles (equal best of anyone on the ground) and 1 goal. I call that a bloody good game and his pace and evasiveness puts the wind up the opposition.
 
george is just integral to frontal pressure.

much, much more important than he might appear.

great game again, love his work.
 
Needs to work on his poise and kicking however his manic pressure is important.
 
Manic pressure, gives it his all and then some. No denying it George has earnt this spot and belongs in the side
 
That play running back with the flight was as courageous as you'll see, especially from a small bloke. Just needs to settle a bit when he gets it to up his efficiency. Important part of our fwd line now

Spot on, and he nullified Hurn.
 
Not sure what the long term future holds for him...but at the moment his erratic playing style is giving us plenty of energy and creating chances out of nothing. He would be a nightmare to play on. No idea what he is going to do.
 
Yep, great pace and endeavour. Full marks.

But whilst his kicking is so awful it'll detract from his game. Probably too late but someone needs to teach him the ball drop and not that "scarecrow " style.
 
Is very good in heavy traffic, he steps around opponents and doesn't panic. Makes our back line better.

Edit, i meant Conca.
