Dave Astbury is okay until his opponent actually moves or leads.
Dave is a forward and watches the footy instead of watching his man first. He gets fought out ball watching all the time.
I hope the young kid Garthwaite gets a game soon and Astbury moves forward as his hands have been very good this year.

Correct me if I am wrong but Rance took a while to become as good as he is, I recall he wasn't a standout at the start of his career

Apparently Rance was worth only a six pack of Corona early on.....

Rance was taken apart on this forum 2009 / 10 until his breakout game dreamtime at the G 2011.

I picked him at birth
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Dave's having one hell of a season so far. Big test tonight based on past meetings against North and Astbury and Rance kept Brown & Waite quiet  :clapping.

BOG behind Martin. Was sensational. Martin was lucky he was forward of centre as Dave didn't get near it as much in the 2nd half :shh

Best thing is Astbury being able to take the best forward while Rance can take a plodder to give Dave and everyone else a chop out.
