Another handy 7 goals from the 3 Amigos. Georgie the standout of the three tonight.

Thought Butler was pretty ordinary.

Yeah thought he struggled a lot

Castagna kicked three and should have had 5 or 6..... made some horrible mistakes....better sides will punish him...both he & Butler need to pull their heads in a bit...


...so does Martin for that matter.... :shh

He kicked 4 mate. But you are right he should have kicked a couple more. Stupid decisions a couple of times trying to be to unselfish.

But it wasn't just his goals tonight, he was very good with his run, tackling and pressure when we didn't have the footy.
He is growing in confidence with every game.

Proving a few wrong this year is Georgie.

No need to dislike him just because you were wrong.  :thumbsup
He played well yesterday, kicked 4 and hit the post with another from 50. Not too shabby from a guy that was a late rookie pick.
Credit where credit is due Dio.

A long way ahead of Butler at the moment.

Castagna's mistakes are forgivable. Generally just from trying to take the game on or be unselfish. Butler's really frustrate me. Lairiising.

All 3 of Rioli, Bulter and George have been excellent this year at different times and the main reason we are 4 and zip. They are all setting the tone. 
They are the ones kicking us a winning score along with our midfield.
Our KPF and medium forwards are nowhere!!
I still have hope for Lennon as a lead up forward- he is a mark, kick forward not a forward flanker.

These guys make the games so much more interesting to watch.

Rioli is magic, excuse the cliche.

Love Butler's pace, personally think he's a smarter footballer than Castagna but not as well built.

Castagna obviously made a few decision errors but hopefully that will improve. Has been very good this year.

Clearly they enjoy playing together as well which is nice.

“I just try and build my game on my pressure, but it was good to get on the end of a few goals,” Castagna told ‘Roar Vision’ post-match at the Gabba.

“That’s our role (he, Rioli and Butler) . . . just to put the pressure on and go from there.

“We get on the end of a few goals, but our main role’s our pressure . . .

“We’ll just keep pushing each other to do that, and we help each other when we do.”

Apart from his four goals against the Lions on Sunday, Castagna had seven inside-50s and took six marks – four of them inside 50.

Castagna, Rioli and Butler, between them, have scored 20 goals out of the Tigers’ overall total of 62 in the four rounds so far this season.
