An absolute disgrace that we could give such a long term underachiever a three yr deal on the back of a handful of decent games.
Yep more of the same at the RFC THINGS JUST NEVER IMPROVE OR CHANGE.
That is a big win for Astbury because 100% he had pretty much resigned himself to not getting a contract not very long ago and there was genuine outside interest.. Plays a couple of months of decent footy and gets 3 years! Big call from Richmond.
The guy has been injured, he hasn't been an under achiever. He was leading our b & f last time he was fit and he is getting back to that form.
Some posters on here just want to pot the club no matter what they do. If he left at the end of the year we wouldn't have a KPD outside of Rance and you would be saying, we should have given Astbury a deal. I can't understand how people are not happy for him to get 3 years. It's not like we have signed him for $600k, I would guess it is closer to half of that. Not every player needs to be an absolute super star.
The worst of it is the club think he is the answer and will do nothing to improve our kpd stocks.It's no wonder we are where we are when you have players like Astbury who are below average taking up an important role as you say.
He's a shocking player, one of the worst defenders I can remember. He has a turning circle of an oversized shipping container truck and shits the bed when pressure is turned up. So many unforced mistakes too. Skills are bad, poor decision making.
But around the club, what a lad. He's loved. He has leadership ability. The other boys love playing with good old Dave.
It's a joke our club.

He did but to be fair, all our mids were playing at the time.Fair call, but leppa seemed to get the backline working well in his time at Punt road. The forward line is poo tho.... Lucky cloke is coming to make it better
I have been tiges fan for a long time, we have seen our fair share of shocking players, and Dave isn't one of them. Good soldier without being a star.The guy has been injured, he hasn't been an under achiever. He was leading our b & f last time he was fit and he is getting back to that form.

How good was Marcov this year!Very happy with this. I reckon that Brisbane sacking Leppa works in our favour for Astbury
How good marcov next year
