Casboult is necessary for mine. As long as we're not paying well overs.

Well apparentky SEN just said its a done deal so you & large anthony may just have your way and then we all get to see our opinions & theories be practically tested next year......just hope, if true, we're not paying the ludicrous amount he's supposedly asking for ..but then, I would also hope people at the club watched his absolutely disgraceful last quarter against Essendon and at least took notes... :help

If we get Casboult he will significantly improve us as a team.

30 goals this year. Straight kick. Top 12 contested marks and inside 50 marks this year.

Not interested in Casboult got to aim better then that and wrong age bracket turning 28 next year. Rather a kid to be honest.
would have thought a mature kpf and a junior kpf is the go. Why do people think there is need for just one.

Wouldnt getting Casboult allow us to develop a kid, makees more sense than just drafting a kid and then hoping he can play straight away.
If we are a gebuine side getting just a kid wont fix the problems we have for next yr.Even if we are playing way above ourselves and are actually a poor team  there is still a need for mature kpf rather then just pushing a kid in the deep end and hoping he swims.

Keep saying it in all areas of the list you need adequate numbers, enough quality  and you need a cross section of all categories that is juniors, development, mature and vets.

Well with Maric going, Elton likely to go, Hampson in a wheelchair, Griff with issues and the young developing forward in the VFL, this might be a good pathway to ensure we have another CHF ready to play until overtaken. Playing further up the ground might be better for him as Jack can play deep with smalls around him. I'm ok with it.

Im not against getting levi at the right price, think he'll be handy overall but what happens if Griff stays on (which looks likely). Are we going to play both of them along with jack in the fwd line?

Also, would hate this to impact our ability to be able to offer the right $$$ to a Ben Brown or Lynch this time next year.

Think we should be going hard at Hopper - even if Graham turns out to be as good as we're expecting or hoping, we're still at least one quality inside mid short IMO.

Best possible trade week result for me would see us net Hopper (preferably) or Kennedy, Lever, Apeness/Close, Harley Balic and/or Harrison Wigg.

Speaking of Casboob, according to Jonathan Brown (who basically said we shouldn't bother), he averages a whopping 9 disposals, 1 goal, 1 tackle, 5 hit outs & 2 contested marks per game (he conceded that last stat was not bad) .....but yeah nah that sounds like the answer to our second KPF problem and a steal at 650k he's rumoured to be asking for..... :gotigers

To be fair, that's in a god awful team

Casboult
 Straight kick.


Perceptions are an interesting way of looking at things. How about some stats?  from the footy live app....

Casboult - 29.18. = 61.7% Accuracy
Reiwoldt - 42.27. = 60.7% Accuracy.

Oh snap

Fair question but I don't think you can blame one player for a whole team being awful :shh

What are their career stats? Are out of bounds counted?

Oh crap.

Talking about perceptions 4.4 is a great return on face value, but if you take out the silver platter ones, 1.4 is actually poohouse
