There's been some strange opinions that have gained traction here over the years, and Astbury forward is one of the sillier in recent memory.

DLTD dependable as ever.

From memory he played forward in the juniors and we took him as a forward originally. That said as a key defender, he is the right man for that job as it frees others up to do the more flashy creative bits

Standard good game from DTLD, I just hope we can still get the best out of Balta as an attacking weapon of half back with DTLD doin the lock down

Played well first time up but I felt Balta looked a bit displaced.

Yep. Dave took his spot back and the apprentice was relegated to a bit player.

Not an issue really. Just makes our back line more intimidating.

We now have two players who can play on gorillas and release Grimes to be a general or smother a Cameron type. Happy days.
Noah will adapt - won't be doing too much different but not having to play on the No.1 oppo forward anymore is appropriate for a 25 gamer.

Agree
A slightly different role for Noah, but I thought he was still pretty good, he saved a couple of goals on the goal line.
Good game from Dave, great to have him back, I hope he pulls up well.
