Carlton Supporters Club

Casboult, from the Victorian town of Beaconsfield, grew up a Blues supporter. His favourite player initially was ''skinny'' Matthew Lappin, admitting, with a smile, that there ''wasn’t really a like for like there''.

Casboult, at 199 centimetres and 103 kilograms, has the ''capability of being, we won’t call it the monster forward, but he’s a very difficult forward to hold when he’s up and running'', says Malthouse.

The next poster on Casboult’s wall was that of Waite, the man he now shares a forward line with. Casboult was delighted Waite, after an indifferent few weeks, responded strongly against the Hawks, with six marks, a goal and was active all night.

''It was a good step forward for Jarrad and I, especially Jarrad who has been a bit down. It was a boost of confidence for him as well,'' Casboult said. ''With Lachie [Henderson] coming back in, hopefully we can create a bit of havoc for some back lines in the weeks to come.''

It is likely Casboult can expect an offer of a two or three-year contract extension when negotiations with the Blues intensify. ''I grew up a Carlton supporter. If the opportunity arises, I definitely want to hang around,'' he said.

He has worked diligently on his technique and mental application with assistant coach Brad Green, one of the game’s best marksmen in his days with Melbourne. ''It’s been an on-going process. I have never been the best kick. It was nice for it to come together,'' Casboult said. ''It’s been something … all year that Greeny and I have worked on.''

I don't think it's been one good game, he's had several but failed to convert in the past. Plus he does things most footballers could only dream of in the contested marking stakes.

Carrots...Been teased before by Lavi's hero Jarrod Waite so I am hard to please, sure Levi is a great contested mark but failing to convert is bad football in my books and  like I said I need to see consistency before I start having full faith in him..
4 goals on Spangher, Litherland, Schoenmakers etc doesnt convince me he has arrived....if that was Lake, Gibson, Stratton then I would have been more impressed...

It was Hawthorn, full stop. There were 7 in front of him when he took one of his marks, I don't care who was on him.

Forgive me if this is wrong, but I thought the fact that he was a blues fan growing up was common knowledge?
