It'd be interesting to know what the reason is that Brisbane have all of a sudden cooled on Astbury. Did his medical go okay? Has Dave simply changed his mind and now wants to stay at Tigerland? Or is it something else?

Medical?

Trade him out. On here we bag the incumbents and want them traded so blokes like Arnot, donuts and astbury can get a game. Truth is, they should be knocking the door down. When they got their chances they didn't take it or got injured. We have too many on our list that we want to keep as a replacement but they have had long enough, didn't show enough and need to make room for someone who might do their job better. Trade astbury and happy with other delistings too.

Yes as part of his visit on Friday he took a medical

Don't think it has anything to do with his medical. leppa would have a great handle on his medical history etc so not sure it if would impact at all.

Just think Dave should take one for the team   ;D

Seriously though if Astbury has "changed his mind" then i reckon he is pretty foolish. Unless of course he is happy running around playing VFL every week. This season proved he isn't deemed to be in our best 22-26 so why stay? Going to Te Lions basically guarantees him senior AFL footy every week...won't have that at Tigerland

Other interesting thing is the Age saying Lions have "cooled" but the HUN haven't changed their reporting imitate all. Will be interesting to see what hapens tomorrow

of course we should trade him, but perhaps the medical showed up something the lions didnt like. Leppa has been out of our club for a few years now.

It's all well and good to know about his history but if they found something in a scan that they deem not worth the risk that changes it completely

Richmond are shopping Astbury around. Not huge interest. Brisbane interested but won't give much.  #NABTradeRadio #AFLTrades

I'm not sure we'd get much for him now. Probably better just to keep.

If you could somehow still snag late 2nd rounder or an early 3rd rounder for him you'd still take it.
