Pick 72: Ryan Garthwaite

- Start date
Not convinced but did his job - we needed him last night and I thought serviceable is how I described him.
At least he wasn’t towelled up which is what I was worried about.

Every club needs these type of fringe players for emergencies whether we like it or not, otherwise the salary cap gets blown up.
All clubs have them...for what its worth he did a few good things in the second half that kept us in the lead, after a *smile* first half.

I would have said an "Inadequate" replacement for either Broad or Balta or Astbury but he is all we have uninjured so we have no choice. He tries hard enough and serviceable as an emergency and that is all

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
I was under the impression he was voluntarily out the door at the end of the year, and hence "helping out" the VFL team by playing forward so that Biggie and Miller can develop as backs. He's now stepped up well beyond what was everyone's expectations out of necessity due to all the injuries. So, he's giving it his all with no expectations for 2022, as I understood it, and we should be grateful if he can hold down his spot with no frills until the troops return from injury.
He came off his man in the last and spoiled a certain mark on the wing. I'm certain he left the ground but will check the tape to be sure. They were out if he got it wrong. Great piece of play regardless. I think he got better as the game went on like most of our younguns.
He 100% got off the ground several times to spoil. Don’t buy into some of these posters who prefer to see the negative side all the time. Whilst not overly gifted and looked shaky early, Garth played a very serviceable game, and is quite important to our structure with the amount of injuries we have. I’m wrapped for him!
I’ll watch the full game to judge someone’s game thank you. Not the 15mins where the Pies mids were able to do what they liked. Alex Rance in his prime wouldn’t have stood a chance. Prior to that Garth did a very reasonable job on Mihocek.
Honest battler. Did some good, some poor.
But it’s only because of the injury list that he’s getting games. At least he doesn’t give up. He might make a blue but resets himself for the next contest. That’s all you can ask of him.

Got an IQ. And fearless. That's how a slow midget gets a game.
I was very surprised to see the handball errors. Nerves. All nerves and inexperience. Smart by hand. Accurate by foot.
I've always liked him but still has to flum a gig to get experience. And defensive #3 backs who can't jump are only viable as zoning types. HIs body use is good. I can't help but like this bloke. But he's always up against it.
He should get an AFL gig somewhere. Hopefully he gets another chance and levels up.

If Astbury dosent play.
We might witness Johnny Manton vs Jason Dunstall part 2 on Sundey.
