David Astbury, Thank You

Astbury has not been involved in one win against decent opposition. He is the biggest liability in our team. Should never play again for this team.
 
This bloke spectated for most of the night. Very diffident player. I'd prefer to see anybody else at full back. I think he's a peaheart.
 
I'd put it down to injuries but what what he's presenting atm is his level.
If you thought the ruck was our pressing need got news for ya... Backline requires an almost total rebuild.
 
Too slow for the modern game. He and chaplain can never play in the same side again.
Our defence is ridiculously slow

Yep.

Did Brisbane reject him or did we reject what they were offering?

At the time I was certain he failed the medical, wayne, but I'm beginning to think we were hanging him out to smarten him up. He's earmarked for full back FFS.

He's a delicate little spirit.

Chaplin and Astbury in the same backline and we wonder why we lose :-\

Is Chaplin the worse free agent ever? :rofl
What was he doing last night? He looked like he was called to play when he was going out for dinner. Should've went in a man down,
He is *smile*. Retire him



Or Chris Knights?


Look at North's free agents Waite, Higgins & DaSanto all playing good football.
We couldn't recruit to save ourselves
 
Chaplin and Astbury are like Maric and Hampson. Should never be played together again.
 
I saw our winning % with Astbury in the side over his career posted a few weeks ago. Something like 35% off memory. Similar to Hampsons. Played a fair amount of games so says a lot. Just a poorly skilled, slow footballer.
 
Please trade dump happy to pay for him to play else where . The worst player I've seen at the club
 
I thought Dave played a great role in the Zootopia movie earlier this year. Nice work 'Flash'...
