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.
It's really not a good comparison because Jenkins is playing in a top 2 team and he has the luxury of Walker taking the best defender, etc, etc. Casboult may get more balls kicked in his direction but Jenkins doesn't have two or three defenders trying to nullify him.
I think that comparing Casboult with Tex Walker is an apples and oranges situation but Walker has kicked 14% of the Crows' goals, Levi has kicked 15% of ours.
I don't think Casboult is anywhere near the class of Walker, Franklin, Kennedy, etc but he's not bad as a second ruck, part time key forward. Put a decent tall forward alongside Meat and he'll do OK ... and I'm starting to have nightmares about Collingwood with Moore and Casboult
