Lets set things straight, Elton has shown more at VFL level in defence not forward as you said abovePlaying loose man is nothing special
Almost everyone can do it. Even bloody Grigg.
Were as Astbury CAN take the gorilla (to the extent that the full back was winning the b and f if you believe dimma). Freeing up grimes to play where ever the MC want, and allowing rance to go CHB and attack, that he is good at
As a side note, the best back six would have lids as the back pocket / hodge. But you want him forward and mid too. He can't be everywhere. If you trust the mids are going to win the ball, play him forward.
Astbury leading (or top 2) of the B&F before he went down is fact as we have a progressive points total displayed on the night and he was up in the top 2
