David Astbury, Thank You

[Carter]

GO my man Dave! It is one of those half chances I hope he takes.

Either way, well done on coming back from injury. Like it did with Foley the game takes a few weeks to adjust to, so just a soid game is what I'm looking for.

An excellent sentiment, ghost.

I think astbury gets slightly overlooked on here. He's still the same guy who can clunk, kick neatly and keep a superbly level head.

In other words, he's ahead of griff at the moment and rightly so.

I think he'll make it. Today is the perfect time to remind us just how solid a prospect he is.

3-10
Defenders these days need to have some leg speed, he doesn't,
Defenders these days need to out mark there opponent, he doesn't .
Overall average return to the seniors, but wasn't expecting much

I was worried actually before the game as they had a fairly short forward line but he came in and generally held his own. My only issue is that he lacks pace down back. Overall a pass for him in this game. I like him but I would like him forward then back.

Thanks for the comments

Played well for his 4th game in 2 years or something. Held his own and didn't really stuff anything up. Neat disposal and decent agility. He's a keeper IMO

Thanks Stylo for those encouraging comments.

Well done Dave !

 

[Carter]

Really like Dave.

Lack of pace however is a worry.

He's no slower than Jack. Give him a clear run without injury and watch it improve

 

[Baloo]

I thought we started to struggle down back when he was subbed off.

That's how I saw it.

Yer, I like Dave Spook, think he could really be a asset for the tiges in the right postion. Dont let us do a Post on him for gods sake.

 

[spook]

He's a better footballer than Post. Pace and mobility are the only things that could stop him becoming a good player IMO, and hopefully they will improve. Good head on his shoulders.

 

[Barnzy]

Can't see him ever being more than depth. Whenever you saw him running to a loose ball opposed to an Adelaide player you hold your breath because he's slow.

 

[tigers80]

Geez the last two years have been unkind for him, but he looked as slow as a stegasauraus..

 

[Punxsutawney Phil]

Sloooooow

Thought Astbury was fine today. Wasn't involved a huge amount, but did most things competently. Would be nice to see him get a few more games, today was a tough one to come back into with th wet conditions. He took a bit of a knock a few minute before he was subbed which may have contributed to it.

 

[wigglyworm]

Good solid game. Thought he did well. Need to find the right match up for him. Considering how far he is coming back from I thought it was a fair return. Its a big step up from the two's. I would keep him in for next weeks game against the dogs and give him a run of 2-3 games to see if he can lift.

Don't give no one free games, if bachelor is fit he comes straight back in.

Prefer Astbury to Rance
