Astbury - Where's. He. At?

[RichoRichoRicho]

If your gonads were on the line, would you bet Dimma would stick him in the 22 tomorrow?

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Didn't we just do this thread??????????????

 

[Wallaby]

Hmm. Off season. No injury.

Don't think he's gone anywhere from where he was when we discussed this in October.

And November...........................

 

[City Search]

Oh god

If Chaplin and Grimes are fit then definitely no

Did'nt they resign him last Oct for another 2 years ? A lot of belief being shown in him, from all reports good player and good guy is David

 

[mcuzzy]

is he gonna play as a forward or defender? he needs more game time to develop, that knee injury really buggered him

[Mogwai]

Is being groomed to replace McGuane as our 'swingman'

Can see him thrive in this role, I have faith in #12

 

[Conca Truck]

Take the #12 off him and give it to McBean
It's likely that Grimes will miss games so when he does we need Astbury to replace him.

 

[Grechy]

Dud, delist.

Yep, I reckon we'll see this in 2014.

 

[juss]

He will be a depth player imo, but will still see 5-10 games because unfortunately I don't have a heap of faith in Grimes' body.

 

[SumTingWong]

Will definitely have a career in coaching afterwards

 

[tunksy]

damn good bloke, started putting good games together before making way for Grimes. He's just on the fringe.

 

[Bojangles17]

Could have easily played the final in grimesys place, arguably stiff to have lost his spot, last few games were good

 

[juss]

He's an extremely important depth player though because if Chaplin or Rance go down he will need to come in and play on the monster forwards.

Three things are certain in like. Death, taxes and Dylan Grimes missing large chunks of the season through injury.

I think it's likely grimes will miss games only if he has another season ending injury.

Agree with giving MCBEAN #12

 

[sante]

Will have a better season than McBean.

 

[Tiger68]

I predict a good year. Could easily become our best defender on the tall forwards. Needs to compete more strong at time but I think that will come with game time. Good decision maker and good skills.

 

[living_in_syd]

Needs more pace

 

[Stylo]

Always been a fan. Will be a player, mark my somewhat meaningless words

 

[El Tigre]

He plays Chappys role, without the experience to co-ordinate the backline. But if hes meant to be a swingman, then he cant play the coordinator role. Doesnt quite have the athletic ability of Rance, and cant play on smaller players like Grimes. Hes sort of in no mans land, tho will fit in well when we are playing teams with a tall forward structure.

Like Hawthorn, where he picked up Hale when he went forward. Needed him in the side against Sydney, Rance was too small on the likes of Pike. I think with the flexibity both Rance and grimes provide I think he should play most weeks. He needs to position himself to take on the ruckman and forward/ruckman types. Chapman doesn't like the lock down roles and Rance is not quite big enough.

 

[nobulltiger]

Oh seriously just give me his number and I'll call him and ask myself!
