Announces retirement
Astbury will line for his club one final time against Hawthorn this weekend before ultimately retiring.
ANALYSIS
After an injury riddled start to his career, Astbury settled in at Richmond and played an integral role in the club's three premierships. The 30-year-old's decision came as somewhat of a shock as the Tigers expected to retain him for at least another year.
