Casboult may be in with a show if he ever learns to kick straight and gets to the required fitness level.
Fluffy Biscuit me good buddy, let me assure you that Meat (Casboult) can kick. His only kicking problem is between the ears. I've seen him kick 60 metre goals from the boundary in the NBs. It is only confidence and instinc... ideas that he cannot kick are simply wrong. Get this blokes head right and he could be anything...
To me Baggers it matters nought what he CAN potentially do if he doesn't consistently actually DO IT. Whether the problem is between his ears or anywhere else mate, if he can't get the ball consistently between the big sticks, then as far as I'm concerned, he can't bl00dy well kick under AFL match conditions.
I really hope he can sort this out - we could really do with him demonstrating his ability on a regular basis. I would love to see him be successful, but if he isn't in 2014 then I fear for his future with us beyond that time unfortunately.
Point is that he can consistently do it and has done so. However, you're right, unless he can deliver consistently under all conditions/situations next year, he will be fade to obscurity. I am sure that he and Rowey are under no illusions in terms of their footy careers... they both have a phenomenal opportunity to deliver at our club and secure a terrific future... and what they deliver in 2014 will decide that.
