What are your expectations for Cass this year and what would be a good year for him?

5-10 games

He should already be a handy size after a few years in the system now.

If he cant play 12+ games there will be massive questions of why we signed him til 2010.

I just want to see him have a injury free run and crack a AFL debut first. Chronic hammies have stuffed up his first two years.

I would like to see him in the senior side in round 1 and would be very disppointed if he doesn't play 12-15 games

Would like him to stay fit and healthy too....

Getting his body to AFL standard and getting his 1st senior game would be a start.

Then would be happy to see a 6 to 10 game season.

Cass played in the centre midfield today which is unusual for him.

Wasn't he initially touted as a backman? He would make a big midfielder and with his size and skill he may be a real find in the heart of the ground.

I'm the same as most others - an injury free year and a few senior games would be a great start.

I think they saw Cass initially as a wingman. Perhaps also a rebounding HB flanker with his long accurate kicking.

What did we all think of Casserly in finally his first game (albeit nab cup) for Richmond?

Over hyped by many.
Why was he signed for two years?

Showed a brief glimpse, hopefully can get 10-15 games and some more consistency.
