Pick 72: Ryan Garthwaite

[Rfc4Ever]

Boxing well above his weight

Should be playing on the 3rd tall, not the 1st

Yep. His experience this season will make him into a better player.

 

[Mopsy]

I've seen enough.

I was supportive earlier in the year, but it's clear he just plain old ain't up to this level

Unfortunately he has no speed nor skill so how can he play 3rd tall?

Not saying it will work out this way, but a number of similar comments were made about Rance early in his career.

 

[Jake]

does he have to play on walker and jenkinson?

Yep no good. Monstered every contest.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Most don't seem to understand we don't have anyone else!!!

Not agile or fast enough to do that role.

 

[The_General]

How many games of experience does he have at the level?

They're basically hoping he contests and spoils and not much more. Hes not AFL ready to hold the defence himself. He has no Astbury or Rance for support and our midfield/half backs are turning things over faster than an account at tax time.

Give the kid a chance.

 

[Disco]

Feel sorry for Garth.

Please never compare him to rance

Sorry General, but he has too many liabilities.

He's not only clueless one on one, his disposal is poor as well.

Next.

 

[UKTiger]

I had high hopes for him but right now he is another slowball watcher. Needs to improve his athleticism and awareness

 

[Merveille]

Prefer Chol

 

[Tigers2011]

Just a second level player. Tries hard but not big enough or good enough. Only playing as no one left for that position.

 

[tigers80]

Like a lamb to a slaughter.

It’s the AFL general, it’s not park footy. He is too small to be a key and too ordinary to be anything else.

 

[Baron Samedi]

Please never compare him to rance

Poor post.

Rance was once a whipping boy too.

Go make some perspective toast.

 

[bringbakflemmo]

He’s playing on gorillas and isn’t up to it at this stage.
We’ve got to keep giving him games and unfortunately he has to play on bigger more experienced blokes for the rest of the year.
