Fancy that, bagging a 20yr old with only 43 games under his belt.
Fancy not facing the reality that a player who is slow and get's pushed out of the contest has extremely worrying deficencies.

After one game? After he did a shoulder in his previous game while laying a tackle? I’m not surprised that he was a little gun shy in this game.Garlett must tackle. He does not tackle
Sorry mate, you must have had 3 posts that went on about umpiring.I was just having fun responding to a post on our forum, not banging on.
J Caddy, I to thought he was the difference
I'll give you one of the 4.Sorry disagree on the Pies. I think they will be hard to beat. Its going to be an interesting year with Tiger as reigning premiers, Bombers are going to be a force, Pies to become hot again and the Blues making the 8
I've heard it all, Casboult has a huge leap and can win the ruck because he's 1cm taller.The point is, at 201cm it's no surprise that Casboult can win the ruck. He's the same height as Naitanui and taller than Kruezer, Jacobs, Nankervis, Ryder as well as many other rucks.
He also looks to have a huge leap.
All this factored in, I feel confident when he is in the ruck. The last two games he has looked more comfortable playing ruck than he has playing forward.
Yep. I thought we played the reigning premiers & ran with them for 3 1/2 quarters, but after reading some of the posts in this thread, we must have been playing last year's wooden spooners & a number of our young players were found out by mediocre opposition.Am On the wrong board? Is this the Carlton board?
The chicken-little ness around here is ridiculous.
This very point was discussed on SEN this morning. Both Garry and Tim identified this, and thought this was a tough role for such a young player to do, and do well. And on the best defender in the AFL nonetheless.
Says the opinionated guy that has/had concerns with Marchbank.
I'll give you one of the 4.

This is even worse than your Matt Shaw for a second round pick suggestion.
Goody Saints? No. No.
Don’t worry about Dappy Pow! He’s a good ole Pioneer boy, get a few more games under his belt and he’ll be taking Prisoners Of War (Pow) in no time!! Every game he plays in AFL he’ll learn something new. Keep him in.
How was the atmosphere DaddyPow?

There’s a difference between what you and others have been sprouting about how he’s rubbish and is flat out no good and saying that he’s got a flaws he needs to work on.Fancy not facing the reality that a player who is slow and get's pushed out of the contest has extremely worrying deficencies.
When you watch the Carlton Only Highlights and you see Casboult kick a goal and Crippa congratulating, perhaps that'll give you an idea.Even though it's our official site i'm gonna go ahead and say that's wrong...Casboult taller than Kreuzer and only JUST shorter than McKay doesn't sound right.

I would like to think that they are a basket case, but fear that they may have fought their way out
back next week i thinkHow is he tracking? Is he like weeks away from playing or more than that ?
Not heard much on him in pre-season reports of training or conditioning at all.

If you read through the preview thread & saw how few people expected us to win & that there were some expecting us to be blown out of the water, you would have thought a 26 point loss against the reigning premier, in a game in which one player was out of action early in the 2nd quarter & our number 1 ruckman was lame after half time, was a reasonable outcome.
After almost 12 1/2 years on BF, I have come to expect that if we have a loss, the doomsayers are thick on the ground & if we have a win they are either conspicuous by their absence, or are making up negatives to suit an agenda.

Really? You believe a comment I made raising concerns about Marchbank (which I admitted to being wrong) then precludes me from offering a genuine assessment of a player of great significance to our future success?
My apologies. We live in a sick world.
You're right, big slow talls with no aggression or resilience are becoming more and more important the way the game is being played at the moment. My bad. Small, defensive, tackling machines have been poor these first two game haven't they?

The talent is undeniable, he’s had games where he’s shown that aggression and desperation too. Yet after the first game of the year you’re writing him off. Only one game removed from the jlt where he dominated the Hawks. He may need time in the vfl but it’s completely moronic to write off a 20 year old on a one game sample size when if you factor in his 43 games + jlt we see a picture of a young key defender who has already shown a huge amount and is clearly looking at piecing all the different parts of his game together still. He’s going to lose 1 on 1 wrestles. He’s 20!!!
