David Astbury

D.O.B:
26 February 1991
Club:
Richmond
Honours:
2009 NAB AFL Draft Pick No. 35

David originates from his family's farm near Tatyoon in Victoria's Ararat district. A member of the Vic Country side in the NAB U18 Championships, David was used in a mix of forward and defending roles where he averaged 14 posessions and 4 marks per game.

With great hands and an ability to find space, David made an impression playing a full season for North Ballarat in 2009 after finishing school in 2008.

An athletic key position defender, Dave can slide in as a constructive forward often known for outmarking those around him. Dave finishes well with a simple but extremely accurate goal kicking ability, which saw him listed top 10 in the 2009 Draft kicking test.
