Toast Levi Casboult

[mediumsizered]

His kicking ain't gonna get much better folks. His accuracy % might impove a couple of points but will always be woeful.
In all my year of playing and watching football I have never seen anyone drastically improve their kicking ablility after their 20th birthday, even morseo with such a shit action as Levi's.

You don't remember Stewie Loewe?

Low blow, MSR.

Had to hit him somewhere.

This isn't the 'HBF hour', is it??

 

[Blue Reaper]

Have to love his endeavor without the ball. Not sure if he can make it, but he's certainly at the right age to take the next step. His improvement this year is a good sign.

Gees, I'd just love him to tear a game apart and make us all do a double take. Do it son. ...and handcuffs be damned ...

 

[Mezzoculo]

From a sport-psych perspective, his kicking can most definitely turn around. He needs to find a routine/mental process to fit with his technique, and then like any person, will need practice.
Unfortunately the only true practice will be on game day so initially the pressure will get to him. But over time, once the model is secure and the anxiety arousal can be controlled, he'll execute the technique well.
We can't expect amazing things the week after a technique change, goal-kicking more than almost any other part of the game is a mental battle.
If he keeps his head down, plays his role and builds his confidence and resilience, we'll see his goal-kicking improve as a result.

Call me a dull-eyed realist but as we are not in contention for the flag this season I hope that the MC gives Levi every opportunity to improve his technique in the seniors.

Unrelated, but where has the strikethrough font option disappeared to?

good question - how can I go back on my words without it?

It's in the "insert" drop down icon.

 

[thylacine60]

If only the Q & A concept always worked that way around here. Cheers, Harks. How the **** did you ever find it there?

Insert drop down icon?! Where on God' green earth is that? Why complicate what was such as simple task by hiding the button in a bloody drop down menu?! Bah!

Thank you, kind sir.

No, No, No.... we need more of the hostile/volatile Happy attitude....

Ah uh.

So that's why Mick and Daisy get on so well..

Just easing the tension.

Levi is a bit bigger than Daisy though.

 

[The Blue Baggers]

one of the better contested marks in the comp ... but will then miss a uncontested sitter .... think his consistency will improve with experience

as for this kicking do what they have been doing for 100 years ... send the rat bags to the backline ... I think he could easily play chb

imagine that kicking, coming out of defense?

silvagni was not the greatest kick in the world and he went alright down back !

 

[Quazza]

He was also the greatest FB in history, but ummmm, ok

 

[athensblue]

SOS did get it right over 200 times though

 

[BALKAN]

Was I the only one prematurely cringeing watching his shots tonight, expecting them to be shanked OOTF and then pleasantly surprised when they were semi-accurate?

The more he plays and the more shots he has in match situations, the better he will get.

 

[Thrawn]

**** that Hamish guy, because every time I read about or see Casboult, I keep on hearing the commentary "Rock the Casboult" in my head. Arrgh.

 

[FRUMPY]

Gotta love his work around the ground but simple facts are he has only kicked 2 goals in 5 games. On top of that only 8 shots in 5 games. Need to increase amount of times he has a shot on goal in a game. Everything else is coming along nicely.

Go off and work out how many shots on goal the Duke had while he was at the club... he was a lead up CHF/second ruckman for us the same what the Levi is. If Levi sorts his kicking out, then he should be getting as many shots on goal as Spalding had.

Now I've got that in my head! Thanks.
