Astbury, Markov re-sign

Richmond has shored up its backline for the long-term, as a result of valued defensive duo David Astbury and Oleg Markov signing contract extensions with the Club.
Astbury, who was out of contract at the end of this season, has been given a new three-year deal that will see him remain at Punt Road until at least the end of 2019.
Markov, in the first of a two-year deal with Richmond, has had his Tigerland tenure extended by a further season, to the end of 2018.
Lloyd, Hampson re-sign with Richmond
The 25-year-old Astbury has had the most consistent season of his AFL career in 2016.
After a horror injury run in recent years, the tall key defender has played his equal-most games (17) in any league season since debuting in 2010, and is averaging 13.8 disposals and 6.9 marks per match.
He is ranked 14th among all players in the competition for marks per game, having taken a personal, league career-high 14 grabs against Collingwood at the MCG in Round 20.
“Having endured several injuries in his career, at only 25 years of age we feel Dave is entering his prime as a player,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football Dan Richardson.
“He has provided our defence with stability this season, and we are sure he will continue to develop his game and leadership at the Club.
“He’s worked hard, is held in high regard around the Club, and we feel the security of a three-year contract extension is well deserved.”
Markov, who was Richmond’s second pick (No. 50 overall) in the 2015 AFL National Draft, has been a revelation at senior level with the Tigers throughout the past few weeks as a rebounding defender.
The skilful, speedy 20-year-old is averaging 15.7 disposals and 6.8 marks per game since making his AFL debut against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium in Round 16, and has injected some vital run-and-carry into the team’s backline.
He is ranked first among the competition’s ‘rising stars’ in marks per game and rebound-50s per game, second in kicks per game and uncontested possessions per game, and third in effective disposals per game.
“We’ve already seen some exciting signs from Oleg in the handful of games he’s played this season,” Richardson said.
“His speed, athleticism and decision-making are impressive and we’re really pleased with how he’s adapted to AFL level in his first season at the Club.”

And just as perplexing = Astbury 3 years :scream
-
yeah must admit i raised an eyebrow at 3 years
-
Would have offered Markov a 2 year extension but okay with resigning both players. Astbury will need to repay the club for its faith.

I knew hed been offered a new deal but the length has thrown me.
-
3 years :lol
What a disgrace. Seriously NFI
The rot continues....
-
Should be the other way around...and at any club with half a clue it would be.....
Was probably only going to be one or two years for Dave until they heard Hurley had re-signed....classic Dan Richardson..... :clapping
-
Not unhappy with this.
-
Was happy with this until I read 3 years... Bugger me.. Another devious with high percentage of risk and unlikely gain..
-
3 Astbury years = 40 games max.
-
Markov has been super since he has come into the senior side. Congrats to him for the extension.
But Astbury?? FMD!
A player with his record of injuries and lack of development should only ever be on 1 year contracts until they prove otherwise. And Dave is miles from that.
I was proud of the footy club on not signing these types during this year in the hope they might have learned their lesson but unfortunately it looks like Groundhog Day again.
-
Very happy with both contract extensions
Especially Astbury
Will only get better

Who else are we gonna play in the backline?The cupboard is a little bare there for key position defenders unless Griff moves back. I'd love to recruit the next corey Enright with pick 6 but any new defender will take 3 years to be any good.
-
Does Jack make it his "thing" to like all the poo trucks?
Let's see- Hampson, Hunt, Houli, Grigg and now Astbury.
The club would be in a better position next year without all of the above gone and replaced with kids.

What's your problem ?
We ain't got any tall backman and they don't grow on trees
What trade Astbury and play Elton lol
Had to keep him
Has played good footy this year

Yes, that appears to be his "schtick"....though some might call it something else if it was permitted to do so.... :shh :whistle

Hey if you genuinely think it's smart list management to give an chronically injury-prone player a three-year extension, then bully for you.....
-
Everything this club does is compromised.

Astbury had a good year deserves the 3 years imo
-
Astbury had a good year deserves the 3 years imo
Even reading this a few times I'm still unsure if you are being serious??
Even if he has had a good year, which IMO he hasn't, he has been just a pass at best.
Why would you give 3 years for 1 half decent one?? Makes no sense??
-
should have been 1 year, 2 max
-
I get that we are light on in the tall backman department
I'll admit I'm not and Astbury fan. Too slow in so many areas its not funny; one of the best momentum killers in the game
I also understand him getting an extension
But 3 years? Please! IMESHO it should have been 1 year only. 3 years is laughable
Well...all I can say is
Terrific, just terrificTM
-
I just think the cupboard is so bare that we will have to play him for 3 years or there abouts despite his failings. Unless we go out and find another Chapman type pickup because its unlikely we will find a Hurley but we may find a Gibson if we're lucky. What is most likely is our next KPP Backman will be recruited, hopefully we will find the next Harry Taylor at pick 6 in the draft this year. But that player will take 3 years to get to 50 games assuming he gets to play.
If you project out 3 years then Markov could quite possibly be a core defender, Rance will be getting old, if we're lucky he plays past 30. Again if we're lucky and Grimes holds together then we might have a really good defense but it might also be the same some greats and a whole bunch of average. Vlastuin will either be a very experienced backman or a mid fielder. Batchelor will probably be gone, Houli retired, Yarran, who knows? McIntosh may have played 70 games by then, some kid like Menadue or C Ellis might be our main distributor of the ball.
It's not inconceivable we will still be playing Astbury in 3 years.
-
"Ooh quick better give him three years because we've got no KPD depth!" ....and yet Essendon & Footscray can go out and find Hartley & Adams in the State Leagues last year. It's poorly thought out, uninspired, visionless list management with just a hint of panic. A one-year deal would have sufficed.
-
Three years?
LMAO.
Stability

Do you even go to games? :gobdrop Surely not with comments like that. Three years is so excessive it ain't even funny
-
Sure he can take a mark, but he is a poor backman or at least has been this year. Rance has had to cover his opponent as well as his own most games.
I've been keen to try him up forward, he's been so bad down back!!!! :banghead
-
You try and get a Martin for three years.
Not stuffn Astbury,
Astbury 3
Hampson 2
Hunt -4?
This board and president have to thrown out.

Arseberry is about to tear the competition apart can't you all see that?

What has the board got to do with signing of players, that's not their job
That's what the paid so called professional are there for..you know the Dan the Man and his sidekick with far too much say Blair Hartley...
The only thing the board (rightly and just like every other club bar perhaps the Bulldogs :snidegrin) has input in to from a list management perspective is OKing large contracts and giving the footy dept the OK to trade away our first round pick...

100% correct
The game has past the Astbury type. You need defenders that can defend BUT also run and support they other backman. Astbury is just one dimensional and isn't even very good at that.
Draft a kid like Jake Lever and we will be seeing Astbury at VFL level for 3 years.
Such a dumb decision.
-
Fine by me Mrakov very impressive so far but very new, keeps it up next year will have a nice contract in front of him I think.

Giving young promising prospect a one year deal is super dumb

Is it one year or a one year extension of his current contract? Which, in effect, is a three year deal in total.

Did he have two years on his previous deal remaining?

it is a one year extension on his current contract
Was drafted last year got the standard 2 year deal (2016 & 2017)

Who is making these decisions to sign these players this long. This is the worst decision this club has made in 30 years seriously this is a outright terrible decision. :banghead :banghead
l very much doubt 100 paid members would even support it
-
Well didn't today show that the Astbury re-signing was an incredibly smart move
3 years :banghead :banghead
Terrific, just terrific TM
-
l not seen the game & deleted it. Just can't be bothered.
Heads need to roll at Tigerland cause these type of signings recently are going to kill the club for many years. Someone does not want Richmond to rise.
With Vickery gone the next mistake will be Cloke & if that happens l'm gone. :banghead

Every cloud has a silver lining

Is Discount Dan still on his L plates?
-
I have it on good authority that dan made this extension against the wishes of the list manager and coach :shh

We don't question sources around here, you should know this
-
- don't chase hurley, Carlisle, seemingly tomilson
- don't try c moore, elton untill there is 5 min left
Give Chaplin another year then have him quit half way
Mind boggling.
