Translation:

Having Chaplin in the side is like having two of Rance. :shh

Deserves a go in the seniors. Has played consistently well in the VFL since return from injury.

Actually think Astbury is an obvious player to put up for trade

Not sure what you'd get but would certainly put his name up

Long term I think Elton is ahead of him now

Have to disagree. Astbury is ahead of Elton. Astbury has shown that he can play at both ends and has shown at least last year that he is capable of playing AFL football. To date Elton has not shown that and I hope he does.

Astbury is too slow I reckon. Not just moving but thinking and reading the play

Looked real good for a patch last year, but he's looked awful in his brief time in the 1s this year.

Not sure the deal with Elton. Not excited on him (admittedly based on the little I've seen) but somehow got a 2 year extension

Was coming off extended time out from injury, was slow to come on early in the year , hitting his straps now, just isn't a spot for him. Important  for depth to have a kpp back up  :shh
