Pick 72: Ryan Garthwaite
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date
He looks OK. His skill work at the combine was pretty good.
Cant see him kicking long very well though with that ball drop although it might work over short distances Krakour style.
Only real negative is the physical resemblance to Taylor Hunt. Maybe Balmey and the assistants will swap him Fine Cotton style without Dimma noticing. ;D

yeah, he looks like he kicks like a gaelic player.
but doesnt miss a target on his reel.
finds front position and nearly pulls stomach muscles marking the ball high every single time.
he loses a 1:1 once, and then goes apeshit and wins it anyway.
I reckon he could be a 192 who can play in front of 200's.
I like the G-man at the price.
Apparently has played a lot forward before being shifted to defence. Many, many goals at a ridiculously high conversion rate.
Might be lining up at the business end of the park

He marks it a lot, so he chooses whether to play on or not. If he goes back off the mark, he can use the time he needs to select a target, which is how he operates. He kicks to his limitations, quite effectively and accurately. May get in trouble when he has to kick under great pressure, but there is the handball option.
Give the kid a break; he's brave, takes them on, strong mark, backs himself and attacks. A lot to like.
Buckley was a beautiful kick; but turned it into a ballet-dancing pose. Often missed targets too when I saw him, despite all the posing for the cameras.

like hes skating on thin ice? Yeah. he hits his target every time.
Growling Braithwaite.
the kid from rugby cuntry
There was a comment on an article on AFL draft central, from a dude who reckoned he's watched Ryan develop over the last 5 years.
Apparently kicked 64.10 in 2013, and 85.14 in 2014. From CHF.
No idea whether this is actually true, but wow, who cares what your action looks like if you're slotting long range goals at 85% accuracy?!
Winning 1 on 1 contests is pretty important up forward too, right?
Fingers crossed for the kid - hope he makes it.

Looks like you forgot the "o" that is required for the correct spelling of "country".easy said:
