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
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

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...

Very happy with both contract extensions
Especially Astbury
Will only get better

Do you even go to games? :gobdrop Surely not with comments like that. Three years is so excessive it ain't even funny

"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.
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.

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.

They need to find a better list manager
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

Did he have two years on his previous deal remaining?
