happy days.
Would be pretty hard for him to offer less to the 22 than Elton at present I reckon. Whether its Garth, or some other bloke?

I'm very happy with his kicking style et, if his action matched his delivery there's no way he would have got to our first pick, let alone our 3rd. Good footballereasy said:

ToO you seem to watch a lot of the 2nds, from memory I read a few weeks back that he was played forward and didn't offer much? although from memory that same match we got done pretty easily so the pill wasn't coming into the FL often or well..?

It's pretty clear that the club see him more as a backman & I think he will play there at some stage this year.
His kicking looks ungainly because it is a bit robotic. He holds the ball perfectly over his foot and makes sure that his body is lined up with his target, then he drops it very mechanically. All this takes a bit longer than it should and doesn't look natural. He is very accurate though.
His reading of the play is very good. His hands are safe and he scrambles hard for the ball when it hits the ground.
If Leppitsch really is responsible for Rance and Astbury, he has at least as much to work with here.

From the very little i have seen of Garth, I really believe that he is that ideal medium foward that we all wished lennon could become

agree with that from what i have seen. what i havent seen him do is kick under any pressure. what is he like on the run when he has to get ball to boot quickly?
as for calls to move him forward, i dont think it is in his benefit to be moved from the backline where he has played his best footy at higher levels to fill a gap in the ones. i reckon let him settle as a defender then in the coming years he can be tried up forward if need be. and he cant play 2nd ruck, which we need our 2nd forward to do.
