he has been one of few improvements this yr. shame hes going to miss a fasir bit of footy just as he finds his feet.
the injury though is not the thing that peees me off. we should expect to cop them.
what really annoys me is the simple fact we dont have one genuine big bodied kpd who can come in and fill the hole. there isnt even a junior we can get games into.
list managment is a farce at richmond.
people need to realise the list is not about your best 22 buty your second 22. manage this right and you have a smooth transition for when injury or age or poor form hits.

In-form defender David Astbury is thought to have dislocated a patella and is likely to miss the rest of the season.

Luckless Astbury spoke to reporters on Sunday after twisting his left knee, saying he expects scans to show the same injury he suffered to his right knee in round 12 of 2011.

Astbury didn't return until round 22 in 2012.

"There's obviously that pain and stuff you deal with initially, and then there's that emotion that washes over you," Astbury said.

Fellow defender Troy Chaplin told Channel 7 Astbury had been "our most consistent and best player this year".

"It's just terrible for him, he's just such a great person," Chaplin added.

We can't even get our first 22 right so I wouldn't worry about the second yet
