David Astbury, affectionately known as "Swoop," is a former Australian rules footballer who left an indelible mark during his 12-year career with the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Astbury entered the scene after being selected by Richmond as the 35th pick overall in the 2009 national draft. His debut in round 4 of the 2010 season marked the beginning of a journey that would see him become a pivotal player for the club. Despite facing initial challenges with injuries, Astbury's perseverance and dedication saw him transition into a crucial role as a fullback and centre-half back by 2016. This transformation solidified his position as a key member of Richmond's senior squad. Astbury's crowning achievements came as he contributed to Richmond's triumphant premiership wins in 2017, 2019, and 2020. Standing tall at 195 cm (6 ft 5 in) and weighing 96 kg (212 lb), Astbury's prowess as a tall defender was unmatched. His impact on the field and leadership qualities made him a respected figure both on and off the pitch.
