David Astbury

Took the seven marks and mostly held his own in the backline. Also had the four tackles. Can’t be too upset with him.

David Astbury

Wasn’t given too much work given Richmond’s ample defensive numbers, with the tall occasionally throw into the ruck.

Astbury & Broad backing up in the ruck won't cut the mustard against Lycett & Ladham.... :shh

David Astbury

Five touches, four of which were intercepts. Didn’t do a whole heap.

Bet he would of felt like he did plenty after the game. Stats don't always tell the tale and his chopout in the ruck was vital.

That didnt age all that well

Astbury was huge, allowed Nank to play 69% (53% @ 1/2 time) & Nank dominated the last

Agree , just watched the replay Dave Astbury played a great  team game that reflected on how well Nank played in the last quarter, he wasn’t exhausted.

Agree re Hawkins but not Biclavs. Biclavs far to mobile and quick

Maybe Balta better option for Biclavs then does he take them in defence or centre square the ruck duty Biclavs.
