Official Tiger Team -v- Essendon Rd 10

[(•))(©™]

Astbury looks like a deer in headlights, the poor dear.

[Lozza]

Wasn't that long ago when Astbury prior to injury was in the view of most judges leading our B & F. You surely cant lose that ability, just a bit slower to return to that level than he should but I still believe he is more upside than Chaplin. Also think he would be worth giving a go up the other end, came to the club as a forward and he can take a grab, couldn't do too much worst than Vickery at the minute. Its a bit outside of the square for the RFC but really given our situation its certainly not the worst time to be trying things.

Astbury? 

Last chance? Others views welcome

Well being dropped for one game seemed to put Miles in Brownlow form, imagine what being dropped for 2 or 3 has done for Astbury...WHOA....look out

What a poo side. Looks like the usual suspects will have to carry the rest again.
Fair dinkum win/lose or draw there is nothing apart from one or two to look forward to.

How the stuff does the big pea heart get another game. he should kick 10 essendon have no tall defenders bar one whos played a handful of games.Is this dimwits plan? play him against a non existent opposition and maybe he can find some touch. Who can blame me for asking it.

What a great opportunity it could have been to give C Moore a game and McBean what the hell is there to lose.Surely if Dimwit is right and we are a good side we could play the reserves and still win this.HHHHHHHaaaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

[the claw]

Is there anyone else out there hoping we lose this game. I sure as hell am. 

[Yeahright]

Yep, happy with that.v

Really?

Astbury? 

Last chance? Others views welcome

Who else is there?

Wonder if Elton would have got a go if he wasn't injured (doubtful)

Maybe we could play a guy that has played forward for the last 3 years in our 2's and kicked a heap of goals in a pretty ordinary side before we try a guy that doesn't look like he could get a kick playing for Scoresby.
If they decide AGAIN he is not a backman, let him try and kick a decent amount of goals in the 2's before playing him forward in our 1's just because some had him leading our B&F 5 years ago.

He's named in the VFL this week

Not really sure why they find the need to play both Astbury and Batchelor? I personally don't think you can play both in the same backline. Both too one dimensional.
I'd prefer another running player in the side- Menadue or Short. Or even Castagna for another crack at it.
Not sure what they see in T. Hunt either.

The logic is Richmond losing increases the chance of RFC winning a  flag

As it's increase te likely hood of getting a less rubbish coach

And in some cases it has to do nothing with logic and is just a personal misery self gratification issue

Agree. He kicked 3 goals against the Demons in his first game.
