I still can’t comprehend how Jason Castagna continues to get games. I understand the notion of that he brings defensive pressure and I do think his kicking for goal has improved from the past few years. But he drifts out of games way too easily, four tackles and 14 pressure acts are okay defensive numbers, but when Maurice Rioli Jnr is doubling the number of pressure acts, Dimma can only take that so far.
I’m surprised to read that about Castagna here, I thought you guys would know. Castagna and Rioli play different roles, Castagna plays more like a wing. In the broadcast yesterday Cripps was being praised for running and providing link up through the midfield, George does the same. Some of Castagna’s pressure acts were in the backline, I don’t think Rioli would get that far down the ground. If you want to be critical of Dimma for playing someone in that role it’s fine, don’t blame the player.
will be in the side for the rest of the year no matter how crap he plays. Cmon people you all know its gunna be true.
This routine he has where he turns his back to goal and then play on and go for a snap is perplexing. I know back in the day it was there to get a second head start on the opposition running into smother the kick, but with the new protected zone it’s just not necessary.You would say if it works for him then run with it but it clearly doesn’t.
