Prelim mail: Tigers on standby for late change


– Lauren Wood

RICHMOND defender David Astbury is battling illness ahead of tonight's epic preliminary final against Collingwood.

The 27-year-old has been struck down with a flu-like virus this week and was sent home from the club yesterday, essentially quarantined from his teammates.

He will be given until later today to put his hand up to play, with Ryan Garthwaite a likely replacement if the premiership backman doesn't get up.

It is understood that the Richmond medical department was initially not too concerned about the illness but Astbury will be given the remainder of the day to give himself every chance to recover as much as he can before any call is made.

Astbury has missed just two games this season, Round 22 with an Achilles complaint and Round 13 with an ankle injury. He was replaced on both occasions by Garthwaite for his only two AFL appearances.

someone sneezed, quarantine

 

[AlorraVex]

1) Player goes home with a minor cold
2) Some flogs on here make ridiculous claims of gastro and ebola
3) We buy into it because it's a prelim and we're already nervous

We're fine.

Unfortunately can't get to the game !! (ha ha - along with 600 thousand others) - but I reckon if for some stupid reason they get on top of us then start the Colllinngwood crap - when we hit back and beat them - should hit them with 'Pull yaaapud' - or maybe just hit them with it anyway !!!

nekminit arseberry quarantined and out

we’re stuffed

 

[Bazzar]

Pies fan boy flog right there. Could he be more wrong? Embarrassing.

# Apparently we've been largely unaffected by injuries for 18 months.
Dusty, Martin and Jack have all missed games. Rioli missed a fair chunk at the start of the year. Houli has missed lots of games. Butler has missed. Conca missed plenty. Graham has missed through injury. Lambert has missed through injury. Prestia has missed plenty through injury.
Largely unaffected? I don't think so.


# Jacob Townsend is likely the only enforced change from the team that beat the Tigers in round 19.
Houli and Graham didn't play - both premiership players.
Wrong again ass clown.


Seriously this journo (if you can call him that) is a fwit. All his facts are incorrect. It's pure fiction.

Conca also didnt play r19

 

[Shazza_]

the article says the club docs werent too concerened

u dont risk playing him

if he plays he can get the whole team sick and if we make the gf we’ll get flogged if the whole team has flu

 

[Rezza Tiger]

Literally burping butterflies this morning

inb4 garth dominates and keeps arseberry out of the side

**** If astbury is out, we are done. One of the most important players who would be on Cox.

Harden up FFS

 

[RobsJourney]

Wasn't the club comment just a very minor cold for Astbury, and it was just precaution?

 

[Daffytrain]

FMD. I'm already anxious enough and now this Astbury rumour has serious credibility. I'm cooked already.

club lies lol

This is a prelim final. We can't afford to lose a key defender.

LOL hardly, Cox is cooked Garth would destroy him.

 

[RobsJourney]

Clubs do lie yes, but here was the tweet:

"Very minor cold"
"Certain he will play"

As if he won't play, he'll be right.

 

[Greggy]

Astbury is a must tonight, has to go to Cox.

 

[domus]

If Astbury doesn't get up can we still be moral victors?

Only with at least another four players missing.

 

[strauchy]

LOL hardly, Cox is cooked Garth would destroy him.

Not sure if you have been following Collingwood over the last few weeks. We shouldn't even be giving them the opportunity for Cox to take big marks.

thats 17 hours ago lol

Lauren wood has updated the situation

 

[Daffytrain]

If it is indeed viral it can be difficult to treat. You can only manage the symptoms and it could get worse before it gets better. If he has a temperature no way the docs will clear him to play. He just won't be able to perform at the level and it's dangerous to his own health, and you wouldn't want him being around the other boys infecting everyone if we win.

Imagine getting to a GF and the team is cooked with the flu.

I'm just hoping it was all precautionary and the media is beating it up. We need this bloke tonight firing on all cylinders. Our back line works so well because everyone has a role and they play it so well. As promising as I believe Garth is, this is a bloody Prelim. Astbury's experience and composure back there cannot be replaced.
