Re: Round 2 Discussion

BTW how bad a kick is former Bulldog trade target Levi Casboult.

It doesn't surprise me that despite this limitation he is still on an AFL list, his marking is elite and worth trying to make a player out of.

It astounds me that after multiple years in a full time professional system with professional skills coaches he still kicks worse than many amateur reserves players.

Thank god he isn't sitting on $400k a year on our list. One of a few trade targets we avoided by luck instead of sensibility (Bate being another).

Re: Round 2 Discussion

If anything, last night indicated how well we worked defensively, and how high the level of intensity was that we were able to maintain throughout last week.

The Eagles are a good running side with some quality players and tonight their team defence and forward pressure was outstanding. They were able to win the ball in tight and their skills looked sharp - all of which we denied them last week.

Imagine the potency of a Bate, Casboult & Gumbleton forward line...

Only if you promise that they aren't wearing Bulldog jumpers.

You could slip Dawes in there too.

Except Dawes can actually play.

Speaking of a bad kick at goal .. I wouldn't back Crameri from 20 metres out directly in front .. I said it last week as he was having a shot.
Of all our players he is the one you don't want having a shot at no angle.

The simple shots from 20-30m out seem to really mess with his head.

I'd tear my hair out having to watch Casboult kick like that for the Bulldogs. Good sides at their peak need their big forwards to finish off their work. Casboult will always struggle in that area, which is a shame, because he can actually pluck them.
