Looks like Casboult is gone according to recent form...

After 14 Games

2016

Goals 148 Behinds 132-1020 (points against 1259)
Percentage 81.0 %

2017(Target 224-224-1568)

Goals 149 Behinds 123-1017 (points against 1239 )
Percentage 82.1 %

Goalkickers (Target 2016- Wright 22)

Casboult 22 :D
Wright 18
Gibbs 13
Silvagni 12

-After 14 games there is only 3 points between our 2016 and 2017 totals.
-Casboult has equalled Wright's 2016 individual goal score.

The interesting things I take out of this season so far are :
1. we might not be kicking more goals, but we are getting a few more guys kicking more goals.  Good team have multiple players kicking more that 20 for the year, and by years end we should Cas on 30 or so, and Wright, Gibbs, Silvagni kicking 20 or so.  That's a step in the right direction.  If Curnow starts taking games apart, he might be the elusive fwd we need who can kick 40.  I think he certainly has the talent, just hope he can fulfil it.  Then we'll be cooking.
2. I've mentioned in other posts I really want to see the boys finish the year stronger than last year.  If we can do that then we'll finish with more goals than last year.  Upwards trajectory is something Bucks could only dream of...

Let's see how the comparison is at season's end. You'd hope for a much better %, as the status quo is not what we want... We don't want to be the side that consistently finishes in the bottom 6 but never gets thrashed and is difficult to beat! As for Casboult... a key forward of his size should be around 40 goals by now... a target of 22 (Wright, 2016) is embarrassingly modest.

Like Buddy and Cameron lead on 40 goals.  They're the only two.  Daniher on 38.  Next big man is Riewoldt (J) on 35 and there's a bunch close behind.

I don't think anyone would compare Casboult to Buddy and Cameron, or the delivery that they receive.

But he's not a key forward  ;)

Jenkins is a back up ruckman who plays second banana to Tex Walker as a forward and he's kicked 22.12 to Casboult's 22.11 (Casboult gets more hitouts).  Of course, Jenkins gets more opportunities playing for one of the premiership favourites.  Unfortunately for Casboult (and us), he doesn't have Tex Walker playing alongside him, good delivery from a full quota of midfielders or a quality small forward to crumb and provide defensive pressure inside 50.

Not everyone's performance is directly measured in goals. He's marking well, getting physical at contests and creating a number of chances for others to score. I think it was the GWS game that he had 8 score involvements. He does spend quite a bit of time quite a bit of time in the ruck as well. Would help him too if the ball came in quick and direct but our defensive game style, which is working ok for us, doesn't allow alot of goals kicked. Fortunately doesn't allow the opposition to kick many either.

There's a reason why sides such as Richmond, Collingwood and Freo are showing interest in him. For someone we got deep down the rookie draft we've done ok there. Made good use of his strengths withing limited abilities. If we had our way he'd be the 2nd tall forward and 2nd ruck with a top line key forward taking the responsibility to hit the scoreboard but we don't have that yet although what we see in the VFL is promising.

Daniel Menzel doing well wit 30 goals this season.

Perhaps we get Troy back as a (small) part of a Gibbs trade, if it happens!
Finals, then 4 in a row!

The Crows forward line is not the easiest to break into, but we've seen enough of Troy to know he isn't the answer.

Have we Paul?

In 2014, as a 19yo, he kicked 26 goals for us in 19 games....the guy can play.

He's 22 now, still very young.....he is every bit as good as his brother.

Can't comment on his head space...

That's the issue right there.

An underperforming key forward who is outdoing his previous performances is an improvement for sure.
However, an improved underperforming key forward does not mean he is playing at an acceptable level, or even average level. He can still be a below average forward...and i believe he is.

Not such a good comparison as Jenkins has played 4 less games (almost 30% less game time) than Meat so far this year and being the focal point means Meat gets a lot more traffic/opportunity through him than Jenkins does. I'd be confident that Meat would like to be doing better than he is as would his coaches and team mates, and there's little doubt he and the club would benefit from H helping out.
