    Re: Delisting and Retirements - 2021

    Casboult not offered another contract by Carlton. Probably a closer approximation of Josh Bruce than Tom Lynch is but doubt we would go there.

        He is 32 in March next year. I think he is worth a Bruce fill in for a year?

            Absolutely think we should get Levi as a DFA to help cover the loss of Bruce.
            He can also pinch hit in the ruck and has played down back.

                David Astbury to retire at just 30, surprising call.

                    We have talked about him on here for a couple of years so worth considering.
                    If we land a ruck man and English can play more forward then we probably don't need him as much.

                        Naughton and Casboult in the same forward line? Not sure I will survive that!

                            What about Tex ??? He could fulfill the Bruce role, and is somewhat "tainted" at the moment, and could come cheap.

                            Would it be politically correct to offer him a lifeline if the Crows don't take him on again.

                                Not a snowflakes chance in hell. No club will touch him.

                                    Took me by surprise. A few clubs too I imagine.

                                        A definite no. He is “tainted” for a reason.

                                            The players definitely wouldn't want him.

                                                That was my first thought. We’d get plenty of contested marks inside 50 for a 20% conversion rate.

                                                    100% with you GG. I quite like big Levi, he sure can clunk a good mark & is not pushed around easily. Agree though - goal kicking with him & Naughty would make as all tear our hair out (even more then now). Can Levi ruck OK? Is he reasonably mobile? Perhaps part time only in forward line?

                                                        I wish Naughts was as reliable as Levi in front of goal, especially within 30m.
                                                        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                                                            He is actually better than you think.

                                                            Over his career he has kicked 154/112 or 58% accuracy - still not brilliant, but he has improved in his latter years
