David Astbury, Thank You

Just like riding a bike for down the DTLD, hasn't missed a beat.

You're right, TMan
I had some doubts but he seems to have fitted back seamlessly.
Great credit to him and the fitness staff.

 

[Spirit of Jack]

Might need him up forward in the first final

I'm tipping big Tommy will play in the Q/F

We're the people who said move him forward lol him Balta and Grimes is a defence that wins you a flag.

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.

 

[Ridley]

Played like he hadn't missed a game all year.

 

[BT Tiger]

Played like he hadn't missed a game all year.

Absolutely! Great game.

 

[UKTiger]

So good to have bid Dave back in the side. Like he has never been away injured

 

[JimJessTorp]

DTLD - Dependable, Trustworthy, Lionhearted, DAVE!!!!!!

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

 

[AngryAnt]

Great marks and successfully slowed the play down for some superb DTL kicks.

 

[Mr Brightside]

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

 

[Smoking Aces]

Started off slowly but got going in the second half.

 

[Tigers of Old]

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.

Hope so.
Looked lost a little Balta???

I'm ok with that. Noah is a freak, but he's also a 20-year-old, 25-gamer who's never played an AFL final.

 

[Brettstigers]

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.
