If one of he, griffiths or Elton can become A Grade it would be massive , IMHO his going to be very handy an Elton will be special

The club said this wont happen. He will swing between CHB and CHF as required.

Yep. Think he will start for the first three games or so as the CHB while Chaplin gets fit enough to play.
Will then be a decision made as to where the three talls (Astbury, Chaplin, Griffith) play
or if one of them gets dropped
or moved to forward line instead of McGuane.
May also be a choice made about Grimes as well joining that mix but I personally think he will be fighting with Batchelor for that taller HBF spot.

If Elton can improve his kicking, he will be a star. Astbury will be MrDependable. Smart player, reads the ball well, lacks a bit in athleticism (but that didn't show up too much the other night which is promising) and very composed under pressure so has more time anyway.
Astbury is treading water ATM
Which is better than when the boat was about to sink.
Hope he makes it but, it is unlikely at this stage, coming from a long way back and has lost his athletisism

hugh - I would happly tread water if it meant being named as one the teams better players. I actually think he is starting to get his touch back and is building nicely. My tip is he plays rd1 while the club gives Chappie and Grimes more time to build match fitness.
I'd be surprised to see him round 1. Griffiths should get the nod with Rance and Chaplin. I thought he was quite slow to move the ball on yesterday. He held up several plays when he had a free or a mark and ended up just kicking down the line. As his confidence comes back I think he will move faster but I don't think he trusted his disposal enough to fire the pass when it was on. He instead waited and just kicked long. Not a mistake, just a confidence thing.
The real problem is our forward talls. If things don't click down there soon, I would hope that Dimma will look to Astbury or preferably Griffiths, when Grimes comes back, to move to CHF.

It helped that Hurley spilt everything that came near him! Dave's game was a definite pass mark. Hope he keeps improving.

Hurley is the most overrated forward in the competition, I'm amazed they keep persisting with him at full forward.

He sure is. Enjoy your 5 years Essendon.
DA has been better the past couple though.
