Todd Elton

He's a 197cm forward who isn't a regular in our best 22 after his 2nd season at the club.

Delist.

If Astbury doen't improve his perceived movement, eg. slowness etc.. he will be moved on regardless of the others IMO

I think his movement has been severly effected by his injuries, I remember watching him in his 1st game for richmond in the pre season and thought to myself he moves very well for a big man and makes good position - He was playing HF in that game.

Unfortunately i dont think defence comes naturally to either he or Griffiths and they look slower when they are reacting to the fowards movement rather than when they play foward and make the initial move - Not sure if i made sense but hope you understand what i meant

His season review didn't fill me with confidence. 1 year contract tells me they have some serious doubts.

Yeah well you aint going to offer a 2nd year KPP who hasnt played a senior game yet a 5 year deal are you? Astbury and Griffiths are both on 1 year deals also.

Astbury has 1 year left of a 3 year deal.

Oh my bad. Not the point though. Its hard to give a KPP in his second year more then a 1 year contract unless they have kicked 15-20 goals a season for his first 2 seasons....

Depends on the player I guess. Griff got a 2 year deal after his 2nd. It seems as though they think Elton needs to be playing on the edge a bit to get some urgency in him with the one year deal and the slight bake he got in Clarke's article. I think they wish they'd done the same with Griffiths too. Force them to do something this year knowing it could be their last. I think Elton will get another year regardless.

Add poor overhead marking to to his slow motion movement tells me he will always struggle.

Elton has arguably the best hands at the club, his kicking is suspect and he lacks a competitive nature. Sounds all too familiar.

We need this kid to make it IMO.

yeah, we need at least one of Elton, Griff or Astbury to become a senior regular or required back-up.
