with Yarran and Recce being out for the first half of the year there may be an opportunity for young George to shine, hopefully he can start the vfl season with some decent performances.

Welcome to Tigers: Jason Castagna

Would not be surprised to see him debut next week.
Good game tomorrow and I think he is a big chance.

Then why the elevation to the main list?Barnzy said:
For me he provides that burst of speed out of our back half similar to what Yarran could do.
I read they gave him a different role in the VFL. Playing in the middle and up forward. Sound like he was good inside and had good spread from the contest.
Anyone who saw the VFL comment?
Playing forward/mid might help in using his strengths without too much exposure to his key weakness of turning it over coming out of defence.

Really liked this bit.
"Castagna found himself further afield, splitting his time between forward and midfield in a move that worked to great effect. His classy goal on the run from 45 metres out in the second term highlighted his poise, and his nine tackles, nine contested possession and seven clearances showcased his ability to compete."
A contested ball winner with a bit of pace, sounds just what we need. Obviously just being trialled there so I don't expect him to play next week, but this is worth watching out for.
I'm pleased to see him doing well at VFL level but the knock on him in all the times I have seen him is his rushed disposal & decision making.
That's going to be hard to clean up at AFL level, especially given the number of goals we're already giving up to turnovers.
Has some good traits though, his run and carry and link up work are very good. Given we have a need at HB for some more run he'd have to be close to a game.

This is the week to bring him in if ever. Our ball movement from the back half is stodgy and predictable. Teams are shutting us down too easily.
It's clear to me that we need a speedy link player in the back half who can run and carry & break the lines.. Lids or Yarran would be ideal but they're not available.
At the risk of bringing in another with questionable disposal, I think it's time to see what George has got..

Even though we are screaming for another attacking HB to help Houli out, I think this might be his best position. We need a breakaway mid just as badly.

I agree with this. We have identified that his disposal off half back is a concern so we will reinvent him to mitigate the risk. Then again, wouldn't surprise me if we say to him "you know how you were a half back and we reinvented you as a forward/mid, we might need to unreinvent you and play you off half back in the 1s".
Not for Ellis. For me he comes in for Lennon. Lennon will get exposed for leg pace on Subiaco.Leysy Days said:
