Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL Rd: 3 Northern Blues vs. Sandringham
He didn't play in round 1 did he? The others' form is relevant if he was no worse then it's unreasonable IMO and Cas had proven himself to have talent and had smashed the preseason. Now he's just another player that is underperforming end bereft of confidence.

Carrots... You keep repeating this shiite.

Tell us how many goals he kicked in his blistering preseason, please.

He then corrected himself and said lack of goalkicking form. Mick must want a ruckman who kicks 40-50 goals a year...lol. Given his form in the ruck has been ok then he shouldn't have been dropped. That's where he should be judged.


So says you Jim... Geez
Everyone else thinks he's a fwd/ruck... You seem to think he's the first ruck... If that's the case what's wood doing in the team ?

Mate, do you have his % for time spent fwd/ruck this year ?
If you can find them we may as well look at last year too...

Other than that I've seen him relieve in the ruck...
Again I agree that hendo and jones need to do more...

His main job is to ruck, that job he has been doing well. One's doesn't drop him for not hitting the scoreboard if that's his job and doing it ok. Solution, play Warnock...lol!

I disagree, his main job is as a fwd, his secondary job is to relieve in the ruck.

Again, carrots claimed that he had "a cracking preseason" I asked how many goals he kicked in his "cracking preseason" seeing as the coach said that he wasn't picked originally because he wasn't contributing on the scoreboard... So it would seem that the coaches expect him to score...

I thought that was the job of the KP forwards to kick the goals, not the ruckman. We expect one of our ruckman to kick 2-3 a game. If they did that they'd be elite. This is the part many are not getting. He is doing a good job in the ruck, where he is selected.

Casboult is selected as a fwd/ruck and the team and coaches expect him to score as such.
You are correct that he is not expected to score 3-4+, 1 is good, 2 is great. I agree, his ruck work is ok.

My issue is with the claim of his "cracking preseason" I am still awaiting the information on exactly how many goals he kicked in his preseason...

I agree re Casboult having his spirit crushed. Works his butt off and has a cracking preseason, is super fit, and gets dropped for round 1 against the Tiges. Great message to send...not!

Excuse me for sounding a bit vague carrots... "Cracking preseason" how many goals does that equate to ?
I mean, just so I know for future reference.

Have an opinion bu all means... But spare us the fabrication to support your agenda.

Lets put it this way, he isn't and hasn't done any worse than the others we have tried up until now!

While I agree in part, he has never strung a series of games together in the seconds whereby he DEMANDED a place in the seniors, either as a backman or as a forward.
He has played some serviceable games in the seniors, but he has never destroyed an opponent in his time at this club...  Sadly he's not the only one either...

Certainly no fan of Abbott... I also have no idea wtf he was thinking.
The real question is can they get him to stand aside ?
I don't think they can afford to knife him after the Rudd/gillard debacle.
