I see this sort of suggestion similar to the one of Jack going to the midfield
It might be a nice idea to reward a popular player who is out of form and give him a lifeline in a new position
But that seems contrary to our team system and structure that relies on blokes performing particular roles and I wouldn’t upsetting the midfield setup to take a punt that George just might work out OK there
If a change is needed here it should be a rest for George
In comparison to who? Midfielders/Back Flankers?
If you are going to pot him at least use something slightly measurable (maybe comparative stats with similar players) to support your arguments. You claimed his recent game was his usual form which is clearly wrong and easily shown to be wrong. Now he doesn't get the ball much or use it well. That's some terrific analysis there!
I've posted enough stats to make my point. If you disagree that's fine. It's an opinion based forum.
Yep, he's basically Matthew Richardson.
Actually, he has two premierships.
He's clearly far better.
I didnt include a comparison with Richo - feel free to do so if you think it helps your argument.
You heard any talk that George might be doing preseason training at the Kangaroos football ground.
Gee Zips, I was hoping to get more of a rise out of you than that.
Castagna spent his teenage years in Kangaroo Ground, 26 kilometres north-east of Melbourne.
Is a shadow of the Castagna from last years grand final. Minus the goal kicking he was electric. Needs to lift for this run home.
True, we desperately miss his forward half pressure with Rioli not happening , can’t imagine it won’t happen for him very soon , he’d be doing the work , sometimes it just don’t happen for you as a pressure forward , also with 3 genuine talks down there a lot of the time that has to effect Georgies role as a midget CHF
Really? Last 5 games before finals he had 19,17,22,10,18 disposals. He was actually quite consistent last year averaging over 14 disposals a game.
Last five H&A games in 2019 he kicked 0, 1, 1, 1, 1 goals too. Then in the finals he went 1, 2 goals then the infamous 5 GF points.
Needs to find his mojo.
Well to put that in perspective last year he only kicked more than 1 goal 5 times in the H&A season (less than once every 4 games), 9 times in 2018, 6 times in 2017. In that period 2017 to 2020 H&A he's only kicked more than 2 goals 6 times. I think therefore if you're expecting a feast goal kicking Castagna to appear you're going to be disappointed.
I agree based on his last 2 games he needs to find his mojo but before that it was typical Castagna output (remembering that the games are shorter this season). One thing I have noticed in many games this year is that he's had virtually non-existent first halves and better 2nd halves. Not sure what to attribute that to.
