Comingback from achilles...think he played VFL yesterdayAnyone have any idea if Garth is ready next week for a call up or still a week or two off
Here's his chance to prove himself, he'll be in the team every week he's fit and that's exactly what he needs to learn and develop. He's an exiting prospect and even though the situation with Rance is devastating it'll be great to see Garth in the team on a regular basis.Have to admit looking forward to seeing how this kid does in the seniors this year, yes the circumstances around this suck but I do hope he takes this opportunity and runs with it.
Reckon Balta might have a go down back as well whilst Garth gets up to speed
Balta's role may be more based on stopping the oppo rather than his disposal and decision making...Not sure Balta is ready to be playing such an important role defensively yet
Need someone with composure and good decision making and Balta is a little too erratic

And don't forget, Rance was horrendous with ball in hand as a kid, that worked pretty well.
Moore can play Balta's role from last night.
Then in a couple of weeks, if that hasn't worked, Garth should be back up to full fitness and we have another option...
Not sure about being erratic, but he sure likes to roll the dice and back hisself in...Not sure Balta is ready to be playing such an important role defensively yet

When he's on...he's on!
Right now i just don't see Balta as a positional back man...ruck/forward for me...I don’t disagree but there is a lot less risk in backing yourself in when your kicking into our forward 50 as aposed to taking a mark in the defensive goalsqaure and having to pick your way out of a teams forward press
5 years ago absolutely you would chuck him down back when the club was still building but right now we need our best decision makers in defence

Everyone within the club has spoke highly of Ryan whenever they’ve had the opportunity. He’s a real talent this bloke. Never going to be up to replace Rance, but Garth can play a role. More responsibility on Astbury and Grimes now. Garth takes the 3rd best forward imo. Broad plays the interceptor role similar to Rance. Really hurts loosing Alex, but our system doesn’t rely on 1 player. Winning the flag becomes a lot harder now, but I’m still optimistic which is unusual for me. Let’s show the doubters we can still do it
does anybody know how much game time he played yesterday?
