Pick 72: Ryan Garthwaite

[HR]

Good young bloke on our hands here. Will be a ripper.

 

[TigerForce]

I actually feel sorry for this kid.

No pre season and is asked out of necessity to come in and mind Jeremy Cameron.

He shouldn't be judged on today, and whatever he does in the next month or so.

Is sorely under done.

Yep. He's already shown last year how good he can be.

 

[Tigers2011]

Just an ordinary player - not sure he’ll ever be part of keeping us at the top of the ladder.

 

[artball]

i like this guy. putting him on Cameron was dumb ..

 

[rocsta75]

Love how people criticize a player of 3 games. I remember all calling Rance a dud and turnover king. Now we beg to have gone back. Give the guy a chance. Support and back him and our development and hopefully we have a player

 

[tha8ball]

Lack of pace and height - I think it will all depend on the right match up for him. Balta looks more of a chance to make it long term.

 

[St Kevin]

Not fit. Hard to judge.

 

[seven]

Not ready for today
Fitness level is low

 

[zgod]

Slow as an ox

 

[tigersnake]

I'll cut him a fair bit of slack. Not fit, still young, and he's a replacement for Astbury, any talk of Rance replacement is loco.

 

[King Kong]

Another brilliant selection by the Supercoach

Totally agree. He wasn't ready to play today fitness wise but did what he could. I would suggest he need a couple of weeks at VFL to build up his fitness and game rustiness and then we will se the real Garthy

 

[kiwitiger]

Thought he looked pretty good in his games last year ,

looked off the pace today .

 

[Bill James]

Spot the odd one out

A Nathan Broad
B Dave Ashbury
C Garth
D Hussain Bolt

 

[ryan]

no pre season

should not be playing AFL yet - long way off being fit

Next week - move Balta back and I suppose we have to bring in a second ruck but who

 

[BillyJean17]

Balta made better contests , Garth reminded of bad old days when you could always pencil 7 from oppo FF , hope he can build on first senior gig for a while

Big mistake not playing Garth tonight, he should’ve replaced Astbury.

big mistake picking up Weller not Roughead
Carthwaite isnt the answer.
we need a tall mobile marking defender

Agree
Weller selection was a mistake.
