Pick 72: Ryan Garthwaite

[UKTiger]

How bad must Miller be?

We have never had the chance to find out as he always seems to be injured

It's a disgrace that he wasn't given a go so that we could have an iron clad determination, now surely you have to get rid of both.
Not unexpected both 3rd round picks

So if both go and reportedly Astbury is cooked and is set to retire who's left? Balta & Nyuon are the only KPD left. Sure Broad & Grimes can play tall but I don't believe they play their best footy in that position. Might have to look at free agency, Talia goes alright and should have a good 1-2 years left in him

no we are just *smile*

Garth has got half a dozen or more teammates who been just as bad or worse tonight.

 

[bairdy380]

Very reactive... seems to wait for op to get the ball and wait to tackle vs get the ball first

 

[dimmauchamp]

No good. Has to go

So they can all go, doesn't mean Garth is safe. He is a spare at best.

He is the eighth wonder of the world.
I wonder how he lasted this long on the RFC list.

 

[22nd Man]

No out views do not differ. I agree he lacks AFL traits. But right now.....we have bigger problems. If we kick the 3 set shots in front of goal today we win.

If a bloke lacks AFL traits he shouldn't be on an AFL list.

Agree

By far the worst player on the ground, can't mark, slow as, no run, fumbles disrupts the cohesion of our other backs. So bad that our players eventually refused to handball or kick to him even when he was well clear. The tallest backs we had were Vlastuin and Grimes and it was a travesty to run these champs into the ground. The fault is selection, not Garth who is not up to AFL standard. No Balta, Astbury or Broad but there is no depth coming through ( Miller, Garth, have been on the list for years but no effort to replace them). Who is the talent scout for KPP's, need to replace and get someone who can pick a KPP who can at least take a mark.

Garth is not AFL standard but tries his guts out.

Yeh, tries his guts out but unfortunately not quite good enough. Seems like a terrific kid though, hopefully someone else picks him up.

Hope he’s been studying or doing a trade. Played AFL and great for him, but he’s done with us now. And so is Miller if Garthwaite gets a game ahead of him.

Should have been Chol tonight - not saying long term, but tonight , definitely better than Garth

 

[zippadeee]

Can't believe after 3 flags we still have a johnny Manton clone on our list.
We were fked the minute he came in for Astbury.

Makes you wonder, surely they try Miller next week, otherwise delist if they are unwilling to play him.

Times up.

 

[Aegean Tiger]
