Dropping Casboult for team balance by bringing in McGovern who has done nothing to support his $700k contract is really setting the wrong tone and doubt we are that stupid to do it. I would drop marchbank for balance if it’s needed, well before Casboult. He has been a steady rock in defence and one of the rare bright lights.
As for Polson, I watched the 2nds and he did what he always does, SFA. Hardly touches it runs around like a headless chook guarding space and shanks it every one of his 5-7 touches.
If we are serious the new coach will delist him at years end. Won’t make it. Need to move on and stop justifying running around in circles is enough to be promoted. I know we are the bottom team but he is that far below afl level it’s not funny.
McGovern will be ok. He is still a pup in terms of AFL football, and is a very classy player.
He just needs to start getting involved more.
Once he does, look out.
