Yep. Alas he can't kick straight and can't kick goals on the run or often kick snapshots further than 10 metres.

Too hard for some to simply say he played bloody well. Imagine the write-ups for Stack if he played as well as George last night.
Still (rightly) has his name in permanent marker on the team sheet.

Decent game. At the height of his powers against “staunch” opposition.
I doubt anyone is saying Stack played as well as George, but getting match touch/fitness at afl level and fitting back in to his role (or roles) he offers more imo.
A hybrid of the two, we’d have a real player
George not going anywhere. Nobody is saying he has poise, but we need what he brings: power, oomph, pace, strength, hard work.
If one doesn't think he played that well then it's their right to say so. Not too hard to say he played well when he does. I don't think he played exceptionally well for a team that won by over 100 points. Only 8 efficient disposals. 42% disposal efficiency, 7 turnovers, a couple of shocking shots at goal, low pressure acts by his standards, actually fairly average score involvements. Yes contributed to 3 goal assists (out of 19) as a permanent forward in a team that had 65 inside 50s and kicked 25 goals. A typical Castagna game, had the opportunity to excel but failed to grasp the opportunities. Is he top 22 right now? Yes, which is why he continues to get picked. There's a couple pretty good looking youngsters in the wings that might challenge that soon.
Three flags, well over a hundred games and averaging around a goal a game.
That is a serious career right there! History is littered with highly rated half forwards who have records that don’t come close to Castagna’s.
He is also averaging about one ridiculous-looking tattoo per game played.

Not much chance of a F/S from him. His swimmers will blind turn nobody, swim the wrong way and eventually end up a long way from the target
Usual mixed bag from George. Some great, some not so great.
That said he deserves his spot right now.
