Garthwaite looks like he's doing ok.
Did anyone see him play today and does he look a player?

didnt see him today but looks a player in the making. Really good in the contest against his opponent, fairly quick and nimble, got monstered a few weeks back against redpath so definitely cant play on the gorillas but in time should develop into a good legit 2nd or 3rd tall

VFL Tigers claim Sir Doug Nicholls Cup
richmondfc.com.au
28 May 2017
The VFL Tigers secured their third victory of the season on Saturday, defeating Essendon by 17 points in a curtain-raiser to Dreamtime at the ‘G.
Returning to Punt Road for the first time since their Round One victory over North Ballarat, the VFL Tigers narrowly trailed at the first and second quarter breaks, before putting on a scintillating second half display to bring home four well deserved points.
Jake Batchelor came away with the Sir Douglas Nicholls medal, with both coaches deeming his 23 disposal, seven spoil and six mark performance the best on ground for the day.
Richmond Development and VFL Backline Coach Ryan Ferguson sung the praises of the key defender, who he said wasted no time in establishing a dominant presence on the contest.
“He was outstanding from the first minute,” Ferguson said.
“He really held us up, structured us up, and his communication and organisation was absolutely unbelievable.
“From that, his contest really shone through. He rarely got beaten, spoiled some big balls and won some big contested marks.
“He was stellar down there.”
The fixture against the seventh placed Bombers got off to a tight start, with the travelers leading at the main break after the VFL Tigers booted the first three majors of the game.
Jake Aarts began proceedings with a crafty snap out of a tight pack, before a Mabior Chol special from 45 metres out stretched the lead to double digits.
Jacob Townsend then joined in the scoring action, gathering a loose ball from close range and rolling home a classy finish.
However, thanks in no small part to some tireless work out of the middle, Essendon managed to stem the tide of Richmond pressure and took a slender lead into the first break.
Young defender Ryan Garthwaite was valuable in the defensive third, bringing down a series of impressive intercept marks and sending the VFL Tigers on the offensive with his impressive rebound play.
Tom Silvestro, meanwhile, was endearing himself to the Tiger faithful with a spirited performance, chasing down every loose ball and providing relentless pressure to the Bomber’s midfield brigade, while Brandon Wood continued his impressive from from last week with a composed finish from close range.
While Ryan Bathie narrowly missed the chance to take the lead on the half time siren, it was a solitary point that separated the two sides at half-time, both of whom were relentlessly battling for the right to take home VFL Dreamtime bragging rights.
In what is often regarded as the ‘premiership quarter’ the Tigers brought their deadly finishing ability to the fore in the third term, as Bathie and Tyson Stengle both nailed their first and only goals for the day to snatch the lead back.
Ben Lennon, who had been well held by experienced Bombers defender Marty Gleeson, showed his class and experience with a clever finish from a tight angle, as the Bombers desperately tried to turn the momentum back in their favour.
After the Dons managed two quick goals, Wood and Lennon both scrapped to add another major to their own tallies, while Anthony Miles showcased his talent out of the centre, working his way up to 20 disposals at the final break, with four clearances and four tackles for good measure.
However the undoubted moment of the quarter belonged to Chol, who produced a stunning goal with seconds left on the clock to bring the Tiger lead to four goals at the end of the third quarter.
With a looping ball looking all but destined for the boundary, Chol showed extraordinary pace to keep a faint goal-scoring chance alive, before slotting an incredible left-footed effort in from the boundary, and showing the Tiger fans plenty of love in his celebration.
With Chol’s goal sending players and supporters alike into raptures, the momentum continued into the final stanza, where the VFL Tigers showed one more quarter of defensive expertise to bring home the chocolates.
The experience and composure of Batchelor and Steven Morris was on show for all to see, while Daniel Coffield and Hugh Beasley fought until the final siren to keep the Bombers at bay.
A third goal from Lennon and a well taken goal on the run from Miles went a long way in keeping the lead safe, before a late Corey Ellis goal sealed a memorable victory on a special night for the club.
Miles finished the game with an impressive 35 touches, while Oleg Markov's 24 and stand-in-skipper Jacob Ballard’s 23 rounded off a stellar team effort.
The VFL Tigers now look to next Saturday’s clash with sixth-placed Werribee, to be played at Beaconsfield’s Holm Park Recreation Reserve.

Development and VFL midfield coach, Xavier Clarke's summary of the AFL and VFL-listed players from Saturday’s Round 16 VFL match against Essendon.
AFL LISTED PLAYERS
Anthony Miles
35 disposals, seven marks, seven clearances, six tackles, one goal.
A dominant performance with great numbers in disposals, clearances, tackles, and a nice goal to finish off the game.
Oleg Markov
24 disposals, six marks, two tackles, one clearance.
Probably his best game at VFL level. Looked really strong after bouncing back from a knee complaint throughout the week. Looked very dangerous rebounding off the half back line.
Jake Batchelor
23 disposals, six marks, one tackle.
Awarded best on ground for the match. He was fantastic with his intercept marks, leadership down back, and his direction of the troops down there. Really set the game up for us across the half back line.
Ryan Garthwaite
21 disposals, six marks, five tackles.
Had a pretty solid game. Did win a lot of the footy in the end, and is continuing to work on his bodywork with Ryan Ferguson (VFL Development and Backline Coach). He’s still learning his craft as a defender, and is looking like a very strong player at the moment. Also had one of his best tackle counts for the season which was pleasing to see.
Steven Morris
20 disposals, five tackles, three clearances, two marks.
Had a real physical impact on the game, winning the contest and getting the ball going our way. He’s a great leader and example on the field for our developing players.
Taylor Hunt
19 disposals, four tackles, one mark, one clearance.
Had a tagging role on Essendon’s Craig Bird, and had a very solid, consistent four quarter effort. Kept Bird to 14 touches and two clearances, while still having a good game himself. Played a very selfless role for the side which went a long way in us winning.
Corey Ellis
18 disposals, five tackles, four marks, one goal.
Was quiet in the first half, didn’t have quite as much dominance as we would have liked. His third quarter definitely stood out, and was rewarded with a goal in the final quarter.
Ben Lennon
18 disposals, seven marks, two tackles, three goals.
Was good again for the four quarter. Worked well with the other forwards and got a couple of goals over the back, which he worked very hard for.
Tyson Stengle
11 disposals, two marks, two tackles, one goal.
Probably a little bit quieter than the past few weeks. Fumbled a little bit early in the game, but finished strongly and was rewarded with a goal.
Mabior Chol
10 disposals, five marks, two tackles, two goals.
A lot better this week. Looked very lively, took some fantastic marks in our forward fifty, backed himself in and was rewarded with a couple of goals. Kicked a great goal on the run and celebrated with the fans, which was a highlight for the game.
Jacob Townsend
Nine disposals, five tackles, three marks, two goals.
Jacob’s first half was terrific, he looked lively and light on his feet. He was taken off at half-time to be the carry-over for the seniors, but he was very dominant in that first half.
Ivan Soldo
Eight disposals, 17 hitouts, three tackles, two marks.
Spent more time forward as he continues to learn his craft as a tall forward. Still had good hitout numbers when he went into the ruck and also tackled well.
Ivan Maric
Seven disposals, 30 hitouts, two marks, two tackles.
Didn’t have a lot of the footy, but set us up well around the stoppages. Put on a bit of a masterclass with Anthony Miles and our other midfielders providing clean clearance work.

Lennon must be getting close to another afl game,
He is a good size at 190 and not too slow. As an observation I think his endeavour has improved.
About time we started playing him to see how good he is, 3.5 years and he is still in no where land.
Where does he fit in and does he replace?

he replaces Elton; who sadly for Todd in particular offers us nothing ...
Reckon Lennon would offer more as pinch ruck in the F50 than Elton :'(
