David Astbury, Thank You

Let’s see how he goes against Dixon.

Dave is a bit of a plodder but he has been good the last couple and is our only genuine key back at the moment.

Did us proud. Is a very good player. And as mentioned is bloody strong.
 
Loved his game today. Swirly conditions clearly suit him. Really good at protecting the right spaces and holding strong.
 
I Take everything back. Absolutely destroyed Dixon yesterday.
Dixon was that scared of Astbury & Grimes he was playing off the back of the square.
Astbury was my best yesterday. While others couldn’t buy a mark, he was plucking them out everywhere.
Pity we didn’t get Roughead. We would’ve had a defence that would’ve guaranteed us a flag.
 
Considering he doesn’t have Rance beside him, imho his in career best form , Clunking his marks and then been DTLD

LOL not the Roughhead whine again. The backline has been huge the last few weeks. The team is purring again.

Didn't you want to delist DTLD the other week?

While Rance is injured i reckon Dave is close to our most important, and irreplaceable player.
if he was injured we would be in a lot of trouble.

He’s playing with that look in his eyes someone gets when they’re waiting with a bouquet of flowers at the airport arrivals gate.

The wait might soon be over!
 
I just watched the game again and thought that Dave had yet another stellar performance on Friday night. He Grimes, Broad and Vlastuin are absolute colossus's in defence where we barely miss Rance

Interview this arvo...
He's a ripper Dave..... Not hard to work out why the synergy with Alex and Grimesy is so strong... had a funny weekend the boys!

 
thought Dave was good last night. 8 marks, used the ball well.
