Georgie now still plays exactly like he did as a junior. Something to be said for letting players play footy and enjoy themselves instead of all that constipated structured stuff.
Obvious watching Georgie playing juniors n now is that he's got a heap of footy bells n whistles, just lacks a little polish to the chrome bits, but he makes up for that with a bit of the unpredictable n mayhem.

yeah is strange in a good way how he hasn’t really changed - surprising though.
Indeed. Everything he did turned to shizen, except that arsey goal on the boundary. And one set shot? Everything else he killed stone-dead.
Having said that he's a lock for round 1 still. Probably kick 5.6.
George Castange was a decimal point away from winning the Norm Smith.
The entire game plan is fashioned around him
thats the whole gag that the world dont, wont and cant ever get.
its way beyond any notion of footy genius.
Its a sophisticated mode of enlightenment.
it is so beautiful when I see its glimpses

Really? Iffy kicking for goal aside, he offers a lot in and his pace is second to none. Reckon he is no chance to miss round 1, nor probably any round after that.
He's got many strengths. Kicking remains a weakness.
Could be a brilliant player but isn't labelled such because his kicking, (especially for goal) can't be relied upon.
That said he's a two time premiership player & is definitely in my round 1 side.

Simply gotta take the good with the bad where Georgie's concerned. He's a chaos footballer n bloody unpredictable in a game that's become severely over structured.
His best is brilliant and his worst is doofus n we usually get to see a handful of each during a game, simply pure fun as a footballer.

It's not just kicking that's a weakness. It's decision making, handballing, footy IQ, vision and kicking that are weaknesses.
I've said it before, but I've never disliked a player so much that was so important to the way we play. He's been critical (pace/hunt/energy/covering ground) for a long time.
But I think we're in a place now we're we have a few more that can offer what he does, but can also actually play.
I also didn't say he won't be in the 22. I said he's not in my 22.
However, if we maintain a healthy list all year, I reckon he plays 10-12 games.
Remember when George was briefly dropped? Caracalla told him to go back and work on his unpredictability.
He missed the ball trying to handball it off both heels and was straight back in.
Until a side wakes up and coincides a coach and a half back flanker with quantum physics pHd's and a deep connection,
we'll just keep winning premierships
Try eating some magic mushrooms and watching a game and you'lle get it straight away
May not be popular but I like your post. He is important to the way we play, but also an incredibly frustrating player, because of his below par decision making and skills. I suppose we have to go with the coach embrace the imperfection. Personally I'd rather a skilled player that is also athletic and I reckon we have a few youngsters that will put pressure on his position in time (not yet necessarily). Butler and Ellis became expendable, Castagna could go the same way.
a 2 time premiership player
who cant handball, kick, make decisions, see or think?
David Wojinski?
I dunno
