Hopefully increased his trrade value if only by a smidgen....if not...ok depth next year if one of Rance C.Moore or Hurley get injured...

He should be traded.

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
