I've said it before and I'll say it again. He needs support. He played his best when Weitering was playing forward. I feel for him, as he is playing a lone hand. I was frustrated with his performance but I blame the MC just as much for not helping him.
How did Fev do it all those years without support?
Answer: Fev was a natural (gifted) footballer. Cas is an awkward (limited) footballer
How would Weitering have helped Cas with the oof, the dropped mark, the 12 point turnaround pass to a GC player
The defending of Levi on this site is irrational. he has had a better season Tick. His secondary ruckwork is ok Tick
Bottom line is, he's only a ruck cause he's a shithouse FF
Would we be trying Fev in the ruck if he was still playing?
No, you wouldn't ever play Fev in the ruck. He was only 191cm. What Casboult would do though is play as the 2nd key forward and ruck. We know ev was a superstar capable of kicking near 100 goals. Levi is a decent, but limited footballer who can play a role, in his case two roles in one. Stupid idea to try any form of comparison.
He's in the ruck because he can play two roles pretty well. Kreuzer and Casboult have been our best ruck combo for the last few years. We are getting alot of value of both, especially Kreuzer, up and around the ground. Kreuzer thrives for some reason with Levi. Contrast that with the absolute nothing we got when Kreuzer was paired with Phillips last year.
Casboult's marking, work around contests and crashing packs when he couldn't mark were very good the other night. He took 8 very strong marks. That first qtr kick to Thomas that resulted in a goal was brilliant. We saw the frustrating side too in the 2nd half but take him out and see how much we miss him.
Some need to watch the game a little more rather than watching with their agenda. Too many supporters focus on the bad and forget the good. Often the positives outweigh the negatives.
