David Astbury, Thank You

[marella jube]

Wish to acknowledge what a great job DTLD did with the AFLW jumper presentations. Wonderful representative of the club & quality person.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Not just on the turf but also off it I think DTLD( can somebody put that on Tshirts and bumper stickers ) is an amazingly in the shadows type of great influence on the RFC

 

[Baloo]

I'll never forget the look of fear in Toby Greene's eyes when Dave grabbed him by the collar and had some quiet words with him. The only time I think I've seen that grab look scared.

I found DTLD on page 11, he's too good to be back there.

The ABC had a great interview with Dave on Saturday. He's very articulate, and quite funny, he showed a lot of love for Nank.

From about the 34 minute mark.

Yeah we take Dave a bit for granted, don't we? He's been so reliable for a long time, deserves more kudos.

 

[AngryAnt]

DTLD is great. At the game was sitting with a bunch of Bulldogs supporters, whenever Dave marked it I screamed out "DOWN THE LINE DAVE, GO DOWN THE LINE"

and he did

That was great - thanks for the tip

One of my favourite players always had hope for him even in his early years when he had injuries.

Fun fact: Kicked three goals on debut. Has kicked six more in his career.

 

[AngryAnt]

how many down the lines has he kicked though

 

[TigerPort]

How many kicks has he had??

 

[AngryAnt]

I remember him kicking inboard once and turned the ball over, never seen that ever again

He sometimes looks across the field and starts the motion to kick the ball there but then something clicks in his head and he stops and goes back to down the line.

It's his version of the Vic Richardson advice to Ian Chappel. "When you win the toss, nine times out of ten you bat first; on the tenth time you think about putting the opposition in, but you still bat first."

 

[MB78]

Great interview on the radio. His old man loves to hard nuts from the top 5. His son is also one of our toughest. No big forwards mess with Dave.

 

[zippadeee]

Shocking Johnny Manton first half.
Improved after half time

 

[year of the tiger]

Is he one of the reasons our backline is struggling at the moment or is he struggling because we are not defending well as a team?

He looks slow at the moment.

 

[craig]

Dave has been off the pace a bit this year but Noah has also.

Tigga is also returning Rusty.

Will take a bit for the unit to settle back into their rightful roles after all shifting from week to week.

The fact we have been getting touched up through the middle due to a lack of a midfield hasn't helped our defence.

Unfortunately, the end is nigh
