Needs to make better decisions.

Hopefully that comes with experience

More belief in his ability and kicking straight would make him an upgraded Puopolo

Drops a few marks and often fails to take quick possession of the loose ball. Fixes these two areas and he will become an even more effective attacking weapon.

Castagna he has a lot of rough edges skill-wise so he needs to keep his intensity rates at 100% or his game will fall away pretty quickly.
If he could hold more marks & convert the opportunities he creates he could become a very good player but equally he may never get there either.
I'm not entirely sold yet but he's def 22 until someone else takes his place. How long that takes is really up to Jason.

So basically he's like Edwards was for the first 8 years of his career then?

Plenty upside in him still young.I'm confident f he can improve his kicking on goal he can kick 40 plus goals finds the footy.Strange claw we win the flag and if we can't improve on him and others so let's hang them out to dry. :banghead.

Let me get this right. If we don't change Castagna or others like him for the better, after they greatly contributed to our record breaking premiership, we will go backwards? Well that makes sense.  ::)

And when we inevitably don’t win the flag somewhere down the track then claw will be proven correct.

Welcome back Craw, I've missed your insight
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
