Yep we agree on that. I just think it’s a muscle memory thing vs a mental thing. i.e. his default ball drop is flawed. It should be fixable though - but you would wonder how in a professional AFL environment that whatever it is, hasn’t been identified and specifically addressed with a targeted program. These guys would surely know more than any fan with a search on a YouTube video.
Some have said when he isn’t thinking about it is when he gets it right (which would play to the mental aspect) but there are plenty of examples where that isn’t the case too.
I think this is what he tries to do with the set shot snap where he doesn’t look at the goal. But that’s been an abject failure as well.
Coaches and George need to fix it. Costs games and top four positions.
Is this the 1st time I've seen a player named in the 22 get dropped for a Sunday game as they all used to be in EMG group?
What bloody game was Dimma watching last week ? I challenge anyone to be able to kick a shot at goal like George did ,that’s right nobody playing the game could execute that shot like George …Saddened and shocked our coach can’t see his unique talent , Clarko anyone ?
We all rag George but when he came on he did his job well and actually cleanly kicked a goal
If you want to win at AFL level Pressure is what it is always about . Pressure to make your adversaries screw up. Tigers success is from players who apply pressure constantly for instance Lambert , Graham, Broad ,Val , Daniel Rioli, Baker, KMac ,Pickett to name a few. GEORGE is one of them & always will be. And now we have Maurice Jnr. Say no more.
Suddenly saw him on the ground and feverishly scanned the ground for who he had replaced.
Couldn’t see Prestia anywhere and had a complete meltdown.
Prestia injured and Castagnia the replacement?
Surely God couldn’t be that cruel.
A little relieved when I realised it was Graham but the sight of Castagna on the ground coming in as the sub is a double whammy for me.

I am no fan of George but … he was exactly what you want when he came on. He chased and tackled and harassed… kicked a good goal. If anything it made me wonder where that had been from him over the past few years. Looked like 2017-2019 circa George.
Of all the goals George has kicked, the most memorable for me was the one in the 2017 GF when he kicked straight and true after spraying them all over the place in previous matches. It was then I knew we had broken our premiership drought
Yep. In a way George was lucky in the last couple of years. Rioli moved back, Higgins and Butler left. Not saying they are better or worse than Castagna just that he was gifted games due to very little position competition. MRJ and especially Cumberland have changed all that. Amd a couple of very skilled young forwards plying their trade in the VFL.
I think he would make good trade bait, especially the Saints, the trio would be back together.
