What a man!

The guy is a legend and has a great attitude to his main deficiency.

And yes, he will always be known for the Norm Smith that he kicked away.

Just saw this goal again - it's criminally underrated (same as the GOAT is):

Round 8: Castagna turns on the jets

Jason Castagna bursts past everyone, including the umpire, to score a brilliant goal.

No crowds will see George Thrive

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

George loves Metricon so you can pencil in a win in the away game against west coast.

 

[tropicaltiger]

[Trucker Tiger]

lmfaooooo

grimesy is actually a funny campaigner

 

[sante]

Lol at his tattoos

 

[db26]

Don't mind the move to wing when he replaced Caddy looked like a natural attacks footy and his speed needed a change.

 

[69vintage]

For someone who started his AFL career as back pocket , his lack of composure there last night at different times is astounding .He has the composure of a 5 game player .His speed and agility up around the wing is good ,but down back no thanks .

how good is it seeing him at full back saving goals

 

[HumanMeatball]

Been finding the pill a bit more lately

 

[biaseddustyfan]

the 2nd goat

 

[Jozzy]

His work rate is absolutely sublime, how many other small forwards are regularly popping up deep in the backline? He’s really taking that next step (if he hasn’t already) into one of our better players. Obviously the goal kicking still needs plenty of work but the rest of his game has contributed to develop nicely!

 

[TiggerDK]

His goal kicking will not improve. Ban from F50.

Yeah but those points are sublime!

 

[tigs2010]

Worse when he goes outside f50. His skills are appalling at times

 

[Karp3_dm]

Tell you who does give him great recognition is Bruce Mcavaney! Always comments about how hard he works and the spark he gives us!

He’s added another string to his bow this year with helping in defence!
Incredibly hard worker
If he could get his goal kicking right he would be elite in many categories!

 

[DustinsGuns]

Has been really good this year. Seems to have a far superior motor compared to our other small forwards. He really has just left Rioli in his dust. He can find the ball, is creative in the contest and is a goal kicker. He has plenty of flaws, but his positives far outweigh is negatives.

And can take a big grab!

I don’t disagree but funnily enough a chaos ball works to our game plan and style of play.

Well said , improved this year , looking much more like a reg senior footballer, and prob fittest player in the side playing his role well ,,, has come along way since 2017

 

[Goshaa]

F*** this guy off, for good. Why do we persist with him? Someone tell me his “role” and elaborate on it. He is by far and away the worst small forward in the competition that regularly gets games (that includes his useless mate Rioli). Name me one he is better than. Just one. Every time he goes near it, you just know he will do something ridiculously stupid. Trying to take an impossible screamer in defence when the game is on the line in the last quarter? Does he have a crayon lodged in his brain? He almost cost us the game and gave them a sniff. Wtf was he even doing back there? Trying to pad his stats in the last quarter like he does every game? He is held to such low standards, a pass mark for this guy is a 2.5/10 and I can barely recall him creeping above that number this season. So he has speed. Cool. Why don’t we just recruit someone from the Jamaican sprint team if speed is the only prerequisite to get a game for us? Surely, as the reigning premiers, we have a better option than this useless, wasteful, unskillful, uncomposed, brain dead, momentum killing, panic merchant.
