Schwab on Astbury: "He came up to see our facilities but at this stage it isn't going to happen." #NABTradeRadio

Exceptionally disappointing

hmmm. I'd love to know what's turned them off. Gammy knees?

They only offered pick 2 and 17. We weren't happy with it.

Can confirm this. We insisted on Matty McGuire to sweeten the deal. Brisbane hung up the phone because they thought it was a prank call.

The media don't know why either ...



Q. Hi Chris, fellow lions fan.. Do u know why Astbury fell over? Did he fail medical? I feel that Astbury feels a bigger need than Bastinac? Thoughts?

Chris Vernuccio - not sure why, maybe roos are easier to deal with than the tigers...but i agree that astbury fills a greater need

I asked Peter Schwab about why Brisbane went cool on Astbury. Here's his response ...

@mightytiges - What made Brisbane go cool on trading for Tiger David Astbury? #AskSchwabby

@brisbanelions -  Other priorities #AskSchwabby

Denham stating that Lions offered 3 years on 'good' money and that Astbury's management wanted a 4 year deal on top dollar to move.

Astbury probably didn't want to go.

Maybe he sees Chaplin's days coming to an end?

I'm happy with keeping astbury. At least we know he has the ability to
Play as he's proven. Just about consistency. I think ( hope ) that 2016 will be chaplins last year.
