Brisbane Lions pursuing Richmond's David Astbury (Age)

[Diocletian]

Just thinking guys ... what would you think of a direct swap ... Ashbury for Luenberger?

Would take it and run...and hope Dan Richardson does a better job of spelling Dave's name on the paperwork than you, lest the AFL void the trade....

Plays around two games a year . Very expendable . Trade.

Looks like Astbury is definitely going.

It sounded like Rance was saying thanks and good-bye to his mate Dave in his B&F speech - "I wish we could've played more games together".

Hope not.

good riddance .....he's crap as a footballer

[Pappy]

Alex Rance gave him a glowing endorsement as a person during his Jack Dyer medal acceptance speech. It seems both are very close mates. I wonder if this plays any part in the club deciding to keep him. FWIW......I think we should keep Astbury as the longer term replacement for Chaplin.

you know if people want to keep dead wood like Astbury...then we shouldnt complain when we finish mid table....

there must be some ability in a player to develop in the first place, and Astbury has none....no skill...no pace....nothing

Chaplin isn't quite Justin leppitch but, is he

[one-eyed]

Lions list manager Peter Schwab on David Astbury: He's contracted so it's up to the Tigers whether they're prepared to deal for him.

[Jackstar is back!!!]

He will stay

[taztiger4]

He will stay

They just mentioned on SEN, KB & Waldron, that he will stay

[Stalin]

That's nice

Another year of Vfl

I enjoy watching abc, when they do Richmond games and troy Chaplin is guest commentator.

His refusal to say anything positive about elton or astbury is telling

[Diocletian]

Hang on to mediocrity forever - still the Richmond way....meanwhile watch us trade out Lennon....

[WilliamPowell]

He will stay

 Not sure about that

IMV He'll be put up for trade

We shall see

Personally, I reckon he will go

He will stay

They just mentioned on SEN, KB & Waldron, that he will stay

Mentioned it before Waldron has no credibility on anything, he is the bloke that almost destroyed the Melb Storm due to the salary cap rorting he implemented and oversaw.

[Andyy]

Hope Astbury doesn't stay.

Another year in the VFL will just diminish whatever trade value he has. He isn't the future, and neither is Chaplin.

Club just needs to man the F up and go after Henderson, Carlisle or Tomlinson. Even Talia FFS.

Agreed.

Both Ast' and Chappy are poopy.
