Still not sure about Garthwaite.Heis only a kid and needs games and time but geez i have my concerns

I really think the missing piece down back is a Harris Andrews type and i still think Astbury a very ordinary player despite him being a premiership player.

Very undersized tonight down back. Midfield will lower their colours too.

Expect another paddlin' IMO.

Never thought I'd say this but I wish Astbury was playing to man up on Jenkins - the bloke will probably kick a bag playing on our midget backline...
the last two times with Astbury there Jenkins kicked 5 first game and 3 in the second game i think Walker kicked 4 or 5 in one of those games as well.

I have long thought we should be looking for an upgrade on Astbury and still think it despite him being servicable at times.

Still developing. Really should be trying to only handle the third best forward not the best every week but unfortunately he is getting thrown into the deep end and is struggling.

But I’m sure in the long run he will learn a lot from this experience.

The thing about being a 3rd tall is that you ideally have footy smarts, are quick, versatile and don't drop the ball with 2 hands when kicking.

Bloke was literally being outrun by Josh Jenkins last night FFS.

The same Jenkins that's also given Rance a couple of baths at Adelaide Oval.... :shh

Correct weight.
He has absolutely no attributes to play on “the 3rd tall”
I actually felt sorry for the bloke he was so so bad.
Will not make it at AFL level.
Dud delist..... and I’m not even joking

I see improvement, but wouldn't be playing except for the injuries
bit tough to be the main defender after a handful of games

Seriously....at the worst he'll just be another Kelvin Moore...dominated the twos and looked twice the player last year in those couple of senior games with Rance showing him the way....same could be said for most of the side.... ..:shh

Yes he is young for sure, but at times I feel like I’m watching tapes of James Manson and  Paul Bulluss with that kicking action
