Astbury mixes good with bad.

He can take a good saving mark but often lets his opponent off the leash too easily. He also doesn't rebound well as he makes poor choices coming out of the back line.

Astbury originally recruited as a forward if my memory serves me correctly. Here's an idea, why dont we plonk him inside forward 50 for a couple of weeks and see how he goes in the VFL. Think with the limited depth we have we need to look at other options and the VFL is the place to try these things.

Not exactly a fearsome hawks team...

So what does that make this Richmond team?

Fearful....

Batchelor, Chaplin and Morris - FMFD - Hardwick is clueless!

Should play Moore in back pocket instead of Batchelor. Elton instead of Chaplin and someone that can get more than 4 touches in a game to replace Morris

Astbury problem is he as slow as treacle and a liability when the ball hits the ground. Unfortunately for us Chaplin is even worse

How could Elton possibly still be worse than either of them?

Chaplin is not the future yet Hardwick continually selects him(regardless of how poorly he plays). This is yet another example of Hardwick's inability to take chances and of his stubborn resistance to drop his favoured players. Agree with earlier comments that Hardwick will probably play Griffiths in backline. I suspect that Houli will be given the kicking out duties and wonder how long he will last at it this time.

I actually agree, in the complete opposite way to what you think
