Casboult is a very ordinary footballer, if we are ever hoping to play in the big dance there's no point shifting the team around and playing others out of position to compensate for his weaknesses.
He's only there until we find a better option, hopefully within the next couple of years.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Target in the off season the Swans Sam Naismith as our no 1 ruck or go with Phillips for an extended period of time to see if that was a traded in player worth doing.

Really though, we are playing pure ruckmen as one of our key forwards.

We need a Callum Sinclair/Ben Brown-type that is more tall forward/ruckman as opposed to the Kreuzer, Phillips, Wood, Hampson when we had him theory of playing them as a genuine marking target and key forward...doesn't work, and hasn't worked!

How many goals do you expect from this ruck/forward type?

Not much interest in our line up for Sunday?

It's a bit ho-hum with Sumner, Everitt and Graham added to last week's 22.

Murphy didn't get up and the match committee doesn't seem inclined to give Billy Gowers a run  ???

I haven't checked but is Gowers able to remain as a rookie at our footy club next seas?

If we have to delist him to rookie him again, then it makes sense that we haven't played him as we don't want him gaining too much value and going to the draft.

Murphy gone for the season, not unexpected and the right decision.

Yep, not worth risking him now and he's not 100% anyway by all accounts.

What the heck did he do to that ankle that ended in a 15 week lay off?  Was that from the Dangerfield tackle?

They jabbed him and wanted him to go back on. It would've been the end of his career if he did.

I think Sumner when fit has done OK this season, not sure from the games I have seen that I can say with certainty that Boekhorst is an upgrade. Toss of the coin between these two, it's a battle for the spot as a small forward.

Personally I think Sumner has more to offer than Boekhorst but only time will tell.

We just might surprise on Sunday. I'm not as pessimistic as many.
