We can win the next 3 games and be 5-5 which isn't too bad. Although I said we would win the next 3 after we lost to the bombers and we lost to Melbourne the following week. :-[

The unbalanced nature of the draw means it is more than likely that we will soon see a team race up the ladder in the second half of the season, I doubt that will happen to us this season but it will happen if the draw remains unbalanced.

Love to see Casboult play a full game forward, without having to run all over the ground like a mule in the ruck for half of the game - ffs give the guy a chance to succeed. Don't see any other CHF doing it, so not sure why we expect it of Levi.

THIS^^^^^^^
Yes please.

+2
The guy can take a mark and pack marks at that plus shows a bit of mongrel.  Play to his strengths not his weaknesses and the weaknesses will soon be fixed.

While I do agree, I think Casboult's kicking is actually worse now than when he arrived at the club so I have no confidence he will improve at all!

Thats alright, tell him to take the mark and then handball to a runner!

We are fine so long as he doesnt kick it.

I'd rather he kick it and miss than lose all confidence whatsover.  I reckon in recent games his kicking has improved (NO I don't have stats to support this) and will continue to improve if he can get some confidence in his kicking.

Yes he has improved, he just misses instead of missing everything. Sooo gradually he will be nailing them ;)

He kicks it ok generally, just not well 20m from goal

Guys I was being facetious.

Ive seen Levi get him through at post height from 50 (at Preston).

His ball drop is too high which generally leads to an inconsistent kick and a range of miss that can span the width of the entire goals.

The handball idea was simply to appease the ones stating his kicking woeful and have a bit of a laugh.

Im guilty of it too, but I think we need to lighten up a tad.

His ball drop is too high and with two hands.....you cannot kick the ball well or straight  on a consistent basis with that technique.

He is the first player AFL player I have ever seen with a proper scattergun kick.

He is also the first player I have ever seen to miss everything left followed by missing everything right both from only 30m out.

Sh1t like that just doesn't happen!

If we are 5 points down in the dying seconds of a GF, the opposition will prefer it if he marks over any other player on the ground! That is a sad, sad fact, but it must be a fact!

When asked to comment about his kicking Dermott Brereton said, "Gee, he is a big boy!" ;) That is damning as BumberT laughing when asked about Carlilse rucking all over Warnock! Sometimes the important things are not said!
