Astbury is the reason Rance is off the chain this season. He is playing a huge role.
Gotta disagree. Rance is playing no different to what he has done in previous seasons and that is perform at AA level in most things, and Astbury is still doing what he did last yr and that is defend very well and get a bit of ball..
I hope none of us manage to look past the fact that we have just the two KPDS on the list and there is great need for two more.
Are We are in a place where we will have to rob peter to pay paul to address needs at the other end of the ground? Possibly.
We have two ways to go.
WE play Riewoldt and Astbury fwd and then play Rance 194cm Grimes 193cm McIntosh 192cm and Even Garthwaite 193cm down back. There are at lest tall defensive options even if they arent kpp size. If we keep it as is and there are good reasons why we should then surely we have to just throw what tall fwd options we have in the deep end, as bt says we need to do something different.
Why not
Small fwd - Chol - Garthwaite
Small fwd - Riewoldt - Small fwd
What i dont get is it seems its okay to keep playing Castagna Rioli Bolton Butler because we get a bit of defensive pressure but we get stuff all else out of them. as a collective they are not kicking a lot of goals, they are not getting a lot of ball they arent even laying a lot of tackles.In many ways we are just putting games into them and speeding up development so the question has to be asked why not do the same with a few talls.
