Good AFL standard game. Can't ask for more from a young player, can only ask to rinse and repeat.

Still a bit erratic but that will improve with experience at the top level. Works hard, not scared of a hit, uses the ball OK and has boundless energy. A lot to like
Busting his balls, contributing to the new forward line , like others have said just needs a bit more polish, keep playing him let him learn on the job, his composure will improve with confidence
Thought he played well. He does lack a bit of composure but some of that will come with experience, he's still only played 8 games. Is a very important part of our forward line and the forward press that has been working so well for us. Tackling in the F50 is a bit part of what we are trying to do and thats exactly what he brings to the team. Pace and tackling pressure.
I think George has a lot of upside but he needs more exposure. He's not quite ready. He'll go apeshit by the end of the year.
His brain is fast-twitch. It'll take time at the level. And he's great for a foil for Butts or the Prince. Or even Dusty. Dynamic. Mercurial.

No left foot to save himself. He is going ok but for us to continue to get better needs to be moved on as soon as we can.
Agree with that Jack, imagine havin a beer with him, he'd be knocking down jugs compared to our glassesDyer'ere said:
What some people fail to understand is that football today is more about playing a role within the team, rather than individual acts of brilliance. Castagna's role is to provide forward pressure, to run his opponent off his feet and to find space when he can. If that means running around like a 'headless chook' so be it! I thought he did this quite well yesterday. Sure he's going to make mistakes, all players do. But hey he's played less than 10 senior games!zippadeee said:
Don't get the hate for Castagna. Having a great impact for someone that's only played a handful of games.
Polish and poise will come. Happy enough with the effort and impact he's having.

Does he have a left foot?Barnzy said:
Could we do better?
Yes he is playing a role but can we do better?
good greif...what are some people watching ?..George ,along with his two amigos has been a MAJOR reason for our sudden improvement thuis far this year..has made some mistakes ,but so have jack and dusty and everone else.....im loving him and butlers rise
Silly criticism, he is an important part of our improved fwd line. Does Treloar have a left foot? So the pies should move him on? No we probably would not do better and there are many players we would consider moving on before him. Great to see his improvement.Tigermad2005 said:

Just loving the chaos, pace, pressure n brilliance these youngsters are bringing to our forward half each week.
Daniel, George n Butler, not a bad little threesome n between them they're ensuring there's plenty of tripods in the crowd on match day.
