Early days but a first year tall raking up 21 possies at 86% disposal efficiency, 5 marks, 3 bounces (meaning he runs the ball) and two 1%ers is a great effort.

Possible chance to be the rising star nominee this week you'd think.

Funny a couple of times against the bigger bodies he looked a bit lost today I thought

I actually think he needs a rest - couple of times looked really slow

Great prmosie though, IMHO I think he (& Griffiths for that matter) has bolted past Post

20 possies at 75% efficiency for a first year player in a side that got pumped. Not bad for 195cm tall cub selected at pick 35. Astbury obviously has a long way to go and still more to learn but we're learning who wants to stand up when times are tough.

Very happy with what I'm seeing in this kid
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Credti where credit is due

I thought he loked absolutely lost 10-15 minutes but then once he settled he was without doubt our best defender yesterday.

Which in a way is a sad indictment on our more senior key position backman from yesterday

This ones a keeper.

I was referring to one in particular who refused to even stay remotely close to his opponent
