He won't get traded
He should be traded.
One good game every 3 years doesn't cut it, unless as some suggest you're T Cloke
Thought he's played more okay games than bad, just no real good games
Some very short memories here. Last year at the start when Rance and Lids were out both Griff and Astbury were the shinning lights as improvers. In fact there was talk that Astbury would be leading the B and f. Just getting back to that now. Keep for me.
Modify . I ment 2014 not last year.
yes we all recall rnds 1-10 in 2014, was very good no denying that. But why has it taken until rnd 15 2016 to finally show that type of form again? and you cant use injury as an excuse, has had a good run at it the last 12 months playing plenty of vfl/afl games. For mine would need to play like this for the remiander of the season to survive the chop. Another injury and cut - cant have players taking 18 months to find their feet again, thats just crazy
As a general rule, if a player misses a year/season due to injury, it will take a further year/season to get back to where they were when the injury happened.
An established player can still be passable in this time, but a kid who is trying to establish his spot is up against it particularly as he wont get a walk up start.
In daves case he doesnt seem to be able to get a run without injury, but i think he does offer something if he can remain fit. Another long term injury will probably be the end of him, though.
