Grimes is a gun.

Astbury could be anything

Grimes is only just starting to show decent form and Astbury is out injured (coming back). Sorry but those two fight it out for our 3rd best defender for now and if they both surpass Chaplin I couldn't be happier

How did we feel about Todd Elton's game?

I'm glad he got a run and would play him again next week for sure.

Shame he wasn't in the team by mid-year when we were clearly stuffed. At least we'd have a better idea if he's a preferable option to Astbury/Vickery/Griffiths...

Looked a lot better when he went up the ground a bit; clunked a few good grabs. But still looks very lost at times

Don't think he'd want to watch the tap of the sitter he dropped in the goal square in the 2nd qtr  :facepalm

Play him next week

How long has this fellow been playing footy? Was he playing darts as a junior and is he new to footy?

He is a first round pick 23 (Not a late pick). But in good RFC tradition, like Astbury, had absolutely no idea what he's doing out on the field despite being in the RFC system for 4 or 5 years.

This.  Astbury and Elton were strong marking forwards as juniors and we try to turn them into spoiling defenders.

Probably found it difficult being trained as a backmen for 3-4 years then plays not even half a season forward and finally gets a game again, in a team with the worst structures going around (worse than our VFL team :banghead)

Saying that, he's dropped sitter was pretty bad :lol. Benefit of the doubt though he was the only one who read the ball perfectly and jumped at it and has shown he can take a good grab so it was hopefully not a common thing like trampoline hands Vickery

Now we're doing the same thing with Mabior. Why are we doing this to players? Play them forward then back and then forward again. They are never left to settle and for team mates to learn their leading patterns and for them to understand how certain players kick the ball.....

We should be teaching them how to defend in their current position. You don't need to learn how to defend in defence! Were Puopulo, Gunston and Cyril played in the backline at Hawthorn? :rollin

Elton clunked seven marks, including a game-high four contested grabs, scored his first goal in league football, and provided a strong contest up forward throughout.

“We’re trying some young blokes up forward, which is new and exciting.  But they’re going to take some time,” Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said in his post-game press conference.

“Toddy Elton takes four contested marks . . . probably drops one of the easiest marks I’ve seen, in the goal-square, but showed some signs.

“He probably should have kicked three (goals), really . . . dropped that one (mark) in the goal-square, and kicked 1.1.”
