David Astbury, Thank You

Played ok. Gets lost at times. Relys alot on rance.

He's playing a whole lot better than I thought he would. Definitely staking his claim as a regular.

A star

Our very own Tom Lonergan.

Makes Rance better, a great duo.

Hope he stays fit

Really who else is there?

Dave playing good solid football that he can be proud of. We still need to draft another key back at years end.

Never in doubt re his ability. His body was the only concern

Credit where it's due. He pantsed Kennedy. 1 goal was from a handball over the top Vickery style, for most of the game Kennedy couldn't get near it. Of course Astbury has to rely on other players to give a chop out, any player trying to curb a gun forward relies on this, but he's just such a good body on body player and makes it very difficult for types like Kennedy.

Playing with confidence now and good positional awareness. Proving to be a valuable player

 

[bringbakflemmo]

Very reliable defender so far this year.

 

[Barnzy]

Awesome.

Kudos to Harry who stuck with him when most put a line through.

Never in doubt. Only his body was the question. Always had an elite ability to read the flight.

It would be great if we had two of him and the other could help Jack out up forward.

Astbury would be a great asset up forward. Not sure why hardwick doesn't swing him now and then.

 

[easy_tiger]

completely owned the air down back.

If were gonna make a play for Scache, id be asking for a pay rise if i was Dave.

 

[TigerMasochist]

Getting some consistent game time n free physically and mentally from his injury issues.
Becoming the perfect foil for Tross mans more gung ho game style, very composed n patient, growing into a quality partnership.

 

[ninjahaha]

Playing some very good footy! :clap

 

[RICHO_12]

Solid down back.
He & Rance are an excellent combo

 

[jb03]

Astbury would be a great asset up forward. Not sure why hardwick doesn't swing him now and then.

Might not have the smarts of the pace to get separation.

 

[TOT70]

Astbury would be a great asset up forward. Not sure why hardwick doesn't swing him now and then.

He would, if he could find another reliable key defender. Unfortunately, we don't have anyone else who could take the best forward each week, given that we want Rance freed up to impersonate Superman and play on everyone else.

 

[22nd Man]

Let him keep doing it in the back line. He's not Peter Knights yet.
