keep for sure - agree he needs a big preseason but he hasn't been able to get that under his belt in the passed...showed some signs/smarts & the bigs always take awhile to develop....

and yes:

geez is this thread for real.

are we really talking about wanting to cut a 21yo 195cm kpp who has basically missed two of his first 3 yrs due to injury.
only needs to get games weather that is at coburg or richmond next yr showing some sort of improvement. would not be even in the gun until the end of 2014 if there was no improvement.
imo astbury should be developed as a hit up key forward.

agree

100%..

Lets not stuff this up like we did with Schulz!!

This kid has alreday showed a bit in the last few games he played after being injured for the best part of two years and without a preseason...

I am not sure this thread is worth it either..If he has a full preseason and can't perform fine, but gee, at that height, with the skills he has and his mobility..he could be anything. Glass half full at the moment for mine!

Agree WAT.
I reckon Dave showed a bit in the last few games with the way he competed. Has upside, and seems to be an intelligent and committed individual, which is a big part of the equation.

Too young to make a call on his career.

1-2 more years of development required especially given lack of games due to injuries

Actually watching him play live helped, he dis a lot of work off the ball against Brissy, really freeing up Jack and creating space...

One to watch.

I'm not saying he won't make it, but where did anyone see any positive signs from Dave this season? He was extremely poor in the games he played at AFL level, and I feel he was 'gifted' those games to give him some more experience on the big stage prior to pre season. If you honestly believe you saw some sort of positives from Dave's game, please let me know when and where so I can cover off the footage.

For mine, he needs to have a massive pre season and show us why the club decided he was worthy of the #12. He has the talent (was evident in his first year) so needs to show he hasn't lost that from being out injured the last 18 months.
