Welcome to Tigerland, Ryan :)
-
Astbury's twin :snidegrin
-
Very good one-on-one defender but his kicking technique is unusual. Finds targets when he has time and space but question mark on kicking when rushed or if it's windy.

Player bio
Former club: Murray Bushrangers
Age: -
Height: 192cm
Weight: 84kg
Position: Defender
A backman, Garthwaite can play on tall or small forwards. He does well in one-on-one contests because he has all the necessary attributes to beat his man, and he excels when the ball is in the air. However, he needs to put on a bit of size if he is to make it as an AFL defender. He finished in the top 10 for the clean hands and goalkicking tests at the NAB AFL Draft Combine.

I know this kid and his family quite well.
A very down to earth, shy, hardworking kid who will do what it takes to get there. Awkward kicking action that will find its mark but I reckon it lacks penetration. A good reader of the play. Glad we got him.
-
his kicking action :help
I wish him all the best :thumbsup

Andrew Kellaway

Yep sounds like a competitive beast, hopefully his kicking won't hold him back
-
Broad Mk.II.... :clapping :gotigers
-
l seen alot of this lad. He have more flexability than Astbury or Batchlor together. Has good hands & kicks ackward
-
poor kid.
those with a strange kicking action can get an undeserved rep as a bad kick, because it sticks out more.

Broad Mk.II.... :clapping :gotigers
Broad looks to have a better style....unbelievable!

I like the line "rarely beaten one on one".
He seems to hit his targets so I'd rather have someone with his kicking action with that result rather than Greg Tivendale's exquisite long raking left footers straight down the throat of the opposition! :whistle

Well if he works hard on his action and has the right teachers assisting him he could be a very good player.
Kick that ball 24/7

oh lay off Greg his a good lad. Everyone from that era drove them down the throat of the opposition. This lad is a goer. We should nickname him Cod

Greg is a top bloke! Just drove me batty when I saw the most beautiful text book kicks go straight to the opposition.
Just saying hitting the target is far more important than what the action looks like. Say hi to cousin Wayne from me. ;D
-
his highlights package was filled with him hitting short targets in the backline.
yet every time he stuffs a kick, which everyone does, it will stick in peoples minds because of his kicking action, which actually reminds me of cotchin

Personally he looks limited. That may be fine if he knows his strengths and can play to them.

At pick 72 his chances are already fairly slim....at pick 72 for Richmond..... :whistle

Wasn't that long ago experts rated him the best 1 on 1 defender in this draft.
Will go down as one of the biggest steals in draft history.

Oh and eh. More than a few dodgy handballs in those highlights... he'll fit right in

Murray Bushrangers (TAC Cup), 193cm, 84kg
VIDEO: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2016-11-25/2016-draft-pick-72-ryan-garthwaite-jrz
Garthwaite is a versatile defender from the Murray Bushrangers, who was a GWS Academy member in 2016 and also represented the Allies in the under-18 national championships.
He played 12 games for the Bushrangers in the 2016 season, finishing equal second in their best and fairest, playing as key defender.
Garthwaite prides himself on his ability to negate the opposition’s best forwards, while also displaying the ability to drop off and intercept.
This was best illustrated in the TAC Cup grand final against Sandringham, where he finished with 24 possessions, nine marks (two contested and three from the opposition), six rebound-50s and six tackles.

Ryan Garthwaite: Another key-position GWS Academy prospect that starred for Murray in last week’s preliminary final. Garthwaite was an impenetrable wall against the Chargers, named best on ground by the Bushrangers after taking five marks — of which four were contested — and producing several long kicks out of defence that cleared danger. The full-back is the best one-on-one key defender in the TAC Cup, either winning or neutralising 93 per cent of his one-on-one contests this season, according to Champion Data.

I will say this, he doesn't squib or fall over when marking like downward facing dog. Win.

Very true and kicking might be awkward but hardly missed a target.
-
Good luck to him and hope he has a long and successful career with us
-
This kid looks like a very good contested mark for a defender from the highlights I have seen, although I acknowledge there is a big step between TAC and AFL.
I assume that is a pretty handy attribute to have as a defender. Not that many coaches would want you going for your marks, but he obviously reads the ball in flight really well and can get his mitts to it.
-
At pick 72 his chances are already fairly slim....at pick 72 for Richmond..... :whistle
He's our very own Kyle Archibald. 14 years on.

Welcome to tigerland Ben Darrou...no, my mistake, Daryl Bratthwaite. Solid one on one defender that cant kick...its groundhog day at tigerland. Thought we updated the recruiting strategy

He has an awkward kicking action but hits his targets. Disposal efficiency was over 70% IIRC.

Yes in the U18s he can get it to his targets. Lets see how he hits his targets in the big time. That drop of the ball to boot will be tested to the max when the speed of the game goes up 10 fold.

I don't expect a superstar at pick 72. Give the boy a chance because he seems to have the most important quality - a will to do well.

Our recruiters must be geniuses then, if they found a kid in the draft with this rare quality. The kid has got his chance, I just dont like thinking that 2 of the 3 draftees are like ground hog days. Go in, good in the clinches all that usual stuff and we have ended up with Matt Thomas's and Townsends etc..why did FJ have any say in this draft is what concerns me.

FJ is employed by the club so of course he has a say in who we draft.
I will let you in on a little secret and that being he is not the only recruitment officer employee of the club :shh
M. Clarke is now the overall chief and has the support of the following:
Luke Williams, Richard Taylor, FJ, B. Hartley and a host of support staff in each state contribute as a team to rank and select talent they believe fits in with what the coaching panel require.
Further to this, N. Balme and D. Richardson are involved to a lesser degree.
All in all the above would have many robust discussions on players as we all like and see different traits in players but overall, it is a team (group) decision.
We have made a lot of changes within the club recently so lets try and back them in for once :thumbsup

Reckon his kicking is fine. His technique looks strange / different, but his ball drop looks very solid as it's quite low onto the boot. His DE is quite high and I hope we don't confuse him and affect his confidence by trying to change it.

FJ's comments are quite concerning too:
He has a little bit of work to do with his kicking technique, but we think we can modify that . . . He’ll be a really dour defender that rarely gets beaten. We did expect GWS to take him at some stage, so we’re delighted that they didn’t . . . They left him for us, which was very fortunate.”
Out of all the players we have drafted over the years, who have we improved kicking wise? As for being fotunate, GWS left him for us? They had the pick after us when we took Graham then they added experience with De Boer at pick 58. So 14 picks later we were delighted they didnt take him? I know they were delighted, they diidnt hesitate to read the name but how much currency that carries is in the lap of the gods, going by what FJ has produced over time. What I dont like thinking is that Garthwaite was another that "execelled" in the game at Punt Rd.
-
Kicking at RFC is woeful anyway, there is probably a kicking coach there who gets in our players heads and stuffs them up.
So who is our best kick at RFC, rance, dusty would be our best 2?
-
Lennon's the best kick on our list... :shh

Oh look... I need to make a correction - he's the second best kick on our list after Yarran....

I am at a loss to understand what moving FJ to a part time capacity after this year is all about? I mean, they say that his input was needed this year because of the timing, but come on FFS, if the rest were doing what they suppose to,, surely the club could have escorted FJ to the exit door and said, thanks for your input, we will be in touch if we need it anymore. Its as if the club is tied to FJ because we shafted him and Teasedale to South back when we paid the universe for Pitura.

Garthwaite gains strong seal of approval
RFC website
29 November 2016
Richmond’s third pick in the 2016 AFL National Draft, tall defender Ryan Garthwaite, is extremely highly regarded by those who have closely watched his football development at both TAC Cup level with the Murray Bushrangers and as a member of the GWS Academy.
“He's been a really well-performed player over two years now,” said Murray Bushrangers talent manager Lee Fraser.
“We rate him as a great one-on-one defender.
“I can't think of a time where he's been beaten, to be honest.
“He's taken on and beaten some of the best forwards in the competition this year, and he did it as a 17-year-old as well.
“He had to overcome a few injuries early in the year, so he missed a bit of nationals with NSW, but he played for the Allies and was really good.
“He's one of the most coachable kids you'd ever meet, a really steady kind of kid.
“The players love playing with him and he's just continued to work really hard at everything he does.”
AFL NSW/ACT Head of Talent, Darren Denneman, was similarly bullish about Garthwaite and his AFL football prospects at Tigerland . . .
“I love him,” Denneman said.
“People criticise his kicking, but I think they base that more on what it looks like than how effective it is.
“Aesthetically, he's not the nicest kick, but he has a reasonably good efficiency rate.
“He defends first and rarely gets beaten.
“He can play on ‘talls’ and ‘smalls’, so he's quite versatile in that way.
“He has a lot of upside because he does defend first and knows how to do that instinctively.
“Once he puts on some genuine upper body side, he'll be even harder to compete against one-on- one.”

It’s ‘Summer Love’ for ‘Daryl’ with the Tigers
richmondfc.com.au
2 December 2016
Richmond’s third selection in the 2016 AFL National Draft, tall defender Ryan Garthwaite, tells ‘Roar Vision’ how he’s settled into his new football home at Tigerland . . .
Patiently waiting on draft night
“On draft night, I was at home with the family and the girlfriend, watching it on TV, just hoping for the name to get read out. Getting down to the end of the draft, and you’re thinking, am I going to go, am I not? And my name got read out, pick 72 to the Tigers . . . the house went off from there. It’s an amazing feeling, given the opportunity, and (I’ll) definitely make the most of it.”
His playing style
“I’m a rebounding-type defender . . . marking, kicking. Just creating that rebound, shutting down my man, and doing my job for the team.”
Learning valuable lessons at Tigerland
“‘Truck’ (backline coach Ben Rutten) and (Justin) Leppitsch (assistant coach) have been pretty good. I haven’t done a lot with them yet, but I can’t wait to just learn everything that they know, with their footy calibre. It’s amazing . . . I couldn’t ask for a better club to come to. All of them are talented footballers, great blokes, and great people to learn off. This morning ‘Rancey’ (Alex Rance) was helping me with body spoils and kicking and everything. So it’s been amazing. I’ve already learned a lot here in the first few days.”
Nicknames aplenty already
“I’ve got heaps of them. Jack Riewoldt came up with ‘Daryl’, after Daryl Braithwaite. ‘Meno’ (Connor Menadue) came up with ‘Garth Vader’. Probably more to come as well.”
Goals for pre-season and season 2017
“My goals over the pre-season will be to put on a bit more weight, a bit more upper-body strength, look a bit bigger. I like my endurance running, so, obviously, to get a good ‘tank’ going . . . Then, on to the season, play my footy, earn the respect of the Club and, hopefully, have a good 2017 campaign.”

Nothing wrong with unbridled enthusiasm, good luck to him and enjoy the passion

No doubt and to be fair, Rance's kicking isn't too shabby it's more his decision making. Nevertheless he should be speaking to Lennon :shh

Ryan Garthwaite profile
afldraftcentral.com.au
Tall Defender | Murray Bushrangers/NSW-ACT/Allies
10/09/1998 | 192cm | 80kg
Player comparison: Lachie Henderson
Snapshot:
Ryan Garthwaite is an interesting prospect who has had his fair share of injuries early on in the season, but has bounced back to finish the year with plenty to like. While his unconventional kicking style is probably the most awkward I have ever seen, it is effective and so are most of his defensive traits.
Garthwaite plays the role as a third tall, rebounding defender who will often peel off his man and spread to find space and relaunch from the defensive 50. While not overly strong, Garthwaite is good overhead and will back himself against most forwards one-on-one.
His greatest strength is his ability to read the play from the back 50 and position himself in the right spot nearly all the time. An example came in the finals series against Oakleigh Chargers where he was manning up against Patrick Kerr deep in defence. As the only two in the forward 50, the kick came in and Kerr headed back towards goal. Instead of following his man, Garthwaite judged the ball drop perfectly, standing 10 metres forward of his opponent, taking the mark and then playing on to rebound it back out. It told me that he is not afraid to leave his opponent if he feels he can have an impact otherwise.
Garthwaite’s disposal is also quite effective, with 71 per cent of his kicks in the TAC Cup hitting targets, with an overall disposal efficiency of 74.4 per cent. Most draft watchers will wonder how because of his awkward kicking style that almost has to be seen to be believed, but it is effective, so whatever works.
Garthwaite is also not afraid to kick long, with a 50/50 split between long and short kicks in the TAC Cup this season. He ended the season averaging 16.6 disposals and 6.5 marks per game. While he headed into the season with a number of injury niggles, he was still able to test in the TAC Cup pre-season and while he recorded an above average beep test of 14.2, he recorded a well below average agility test of 8.8 seconds and poor standing vertical jump of 56 centimetres.
It is no surprise that agility and vertical leap are the two biggest improvements that Garthwaite should look to build on, whether that means changing a style or if his injury niggles have held him back early in the season.
Overall, the tall defender is a prospect that will go somewhere in the early stages of the National Draft, and while there are still improvements to be made, he certainly has a good base to work with going forward.
Statistics:
(https://afldraftcentral.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Screen-Shot-2016-11-03-at-1.26.20-PM.png)
Strengths:
Reading of the play
One-on-ones
Disposal
Good overhead
Garthwaite is a reliable tall defender who is not afraid to peel off his opponent and take a team-first approach. His reading of the play and subsequent positioning is one of the best in the draft pool, while his disposal and strength overhead is very impressive as well.
Firstly, his reading of the play and positioning is the first aspect that jumps out at me. He is very intelligent at reading the ball in flight and positioning himself, regardless of the situation or pressure he is under. He assesses the situation and will calculate his best move to make at that point in time.
While not as developed as some tall defenders, he does not try and engage in an armwrestle too often, but in those situations will opt for a spoil rather than attempt a mark. When one-on-one, if Garthwaite can get clear, he will try and drop into the hole to take an uncontested mark and slow play down and switch play to the other side of the ground. Often, you will see Garthwaite waiting for the receive in the back pocket, then raking it forward to the wing where he will more often than not hit a target.
His much talked about kicking style, while needing improving is working for him, so he might as well stick with it until he is coached otherwise. A long range kick, Garthwaite balances the need between short and long kicks, hitting the target three quarters of the time. While not the most penetrating of kicks, he can gain distance and is a clever kick of the football, putting it to his teammates’ advantage regularly.
Finally his ability to win the ball overhead and rarely drop a mark is quite impressive. Averaging a contested mark a game in the TAC Cup, Garthwaite became an impenetrable force at times and was a key cog in the Murray Bushrangers’ defence. If he can continue his development at AFL level, he will be a valued member of any side in the competition.
Improvements:
Kicking style
Vertical leap
Agility
There is no doubting his kicking style needs improving, but it is hard to fault that it gets results. While I say the style works stick with it, he will no doubt be coached ways of altering it because to try and summarise, he has the rare double-hand ball drop. The double-hand ball drop is okay if you are in space or kicking off from a mark, but in a contested situation such as AFL level when the pressure is immense, sometimes you do not have the luxury of having both arms free. If an opponent pins an arm in a tackle, while a concern for anyone, would be more so for Garthwaite as it interrupts his usual ball drop.
Secondly, his vertical leap is an area to work on, because he is on the lower end of that scale. It has not seemed to impact him greatly and can be disguised because of his strength overhead, but he might struggle against the high flyers of the AFL. It is a bit odd in the sense that Garthwaite has the build of a player that is quite mobile and while his endurance is right up there with the best, both his vertical leap and agility are quite low. This could be a result of the frustrating injuries earlier in the season and we might get a better idea in the early seasons of his career.
While his spread is quite good – getting from one place to another quickly – his agility is a hindrance. All it means is that Garthwaite is unlikely to be able to sidestep an opponent and not get caught, so the likelihood is that he will need to dispose of the ball quickly rather than dance around a forward.
Highlights: https://youtu.be/NlzDsNbO8xk
Summary:
Ryan Garthwaite is one of only a few taller defenders in the draft that could go early. While most of the others are more lockdown defenders or athletic versatile movers, Garthwaite is the intercept tall defender. It adds a point of difference to his game and while he is a Greater Western Sydney Academy kid, there is no guarantee he will land there. With so many of the Giants’ academy prospects in this draft, it will be interesting to see who they take and who they pass on.
Regardless of whether he ends up in Blacktown or not, Garthwaite will find an AFL home and with a few tweaks to his game a little time in the gym, expect him to continue his upward trajectory to become a very solid AFL player.

Ryan's roaring success
Riverine Herald
Sarah Dean
12 July 2017
Former Corowa-Rutherglen footballer and 2016 AFL draft pick Ryan Garthwaite says he’s happy biding his time as he waits for an AFL debut with Richmond.
The 19-year-old told the Free Press he is “living his dream” after moving to Melbourne and playing for Richmond in the VFL since the start of the football season.
While the versatile defender is yet to play with the AFL side, he has been named best on ground four times for the Tigers in the reserves.
“Richmond is playing well at the moment and have a few of the best defenders in the league, but I will just keep playing my strongest in the reserves and keep enjoying it, when my time comes it will come,” he said.
The key defender received a ringing endorsement from the Tigers’ VFL captain Sam Darley, who said Garthwaite started the VFL season strongly, showcasing his defensive skills, first-rate intercept marking, and considerable appetite for the contest.
After playing his entire junior career as a forward with Corowa-Rutherglen and the Murray Bushrangers, Garthwaite had interest from as many as seven AFL clubs as a defensive prospect ahead of the 2016 national draft.
Garthwaite said he was enjoying the new position.
“It’s just a change of mindset, it doesn’t matter what end you are playing, you are just doing your job for the team,” he said.
It didn’t take long for Garthwaite to be initiated into footy club culture, with ‘Garth Vader’ an early nickname before Jack Riewoldt came up with ‘Daryl’, a reference to singer Daryl Braithwaite.
“I don’t mind the nickname, there are worse ones around,” he said.
When asked if he was a fan of Braithwaite’s music, Garthwaite explained that he only really knew one of his songs.
“I know Horses, but that’s really the only one I know,” he said.
Garthwaite admitted to being a little star struck when he first arrived at the AFL club.
“You walk into the club and you see the players that you have been looking up to for 11 years, so you sort of think to yourself, ‘gee am I meant to be here?’”
“Then you do realise that they are just normal blokes at the end of the day that play football for a living.
“The club has been amazing and I am enjoying every moment.
“It has long been my dream to play football for a living, so all of my hard work has paid off.”
Garthwaite counts round two against Sandringham as his best games with the VFL to date.
“I thought I led the ball well and we played well as a team,” he said.
Garthwaite also received a best on ground for the Tigers in their loss to Port Melbourne on April 29, finishing with 12 disposals, eight marks, three tackles and four spoils.
Recently he kicked his first two goals for the competition in a match against Essendon on July 1.
Garthwaite became the first player from the Ovens and Murray club to head to the top level since David Teague, who played in the Roos’ premiership side in 2000, was taken by North Melbourne at the rookie draft later that year.

Will be a solid defender, not flash but nonetheless very important. Won't fail through having a big head or big ego. Really shy, hardworking young man. Typical country boy.

From the Border Mail:
Garthwaite is hopeful of lining up alongside Dusty when the team is announced on Thursday.
“It would be amazing to come up and play,” Garthwaite said.
“I know the ground (Norm Minns Oval) inside out.
“If I’m not picked, I’ll be playing a VFL practice match.”
Garthwaite had an interrupted start to his first pre-season at Richmond, battling with a groin complaint, but was one of the Tigers’ best VFL players in the side which was narrowly beaten in the last year’s decider by Port Melbourne.
The young defender has continued to work closely with All-Australian captain and full-back Alex Rance, as well as Tigers’ premiership players David Astbury and Dylan Grimes.
“I can’t speak any higher of them and what they’ve taught me,” Garthwaite said.
“I’ve learnt so much from all the boys in general, but obviously working down there as key backs, what they’ve taught me about footy and everyday life is second to none.
“I’ve only been there for a year, but I’m looking to expand on that this season.”

He can play either end so he should get a run soon. Quality player and bloke

Garth's post-JLT1 game interview:
“It wasn’t planned on playing there [Ruck], but pinched-hit, helped out ‘Cholly’ (Mabior Chol) and loved every minute of it . . . loved competing and challenging myself in there. It was good,” he said.
“Versatility’s something that I like to have in my game, whether it’s playing forward, ruck or back.
“I think it’s something that is one of my attributes and, hopefully, it can be utilised in the future.
“But I love playing down back. It’s so easy to play with them (the defenders), with their communication and their voice. You know when to go, you know when to hold back . . .
“Being out there with all the backs was amazing, and first game for the Club is something I’ll never forget.”
Garthwaite has straightforward aims for the 2018 season.
“Just to keep improving, at VFL or AFL level. Learning off the best defenders in the league and the best team in the league. And playing my role for the team.”
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick paid tribute to Garthwaite in his post-match press conference last Saturday.
“I thought he was terrific today,” Hardwick said.
“The thing we love about this kid is he just competes.
“Whether he plays (senior football) this year or not I’m not too sure, but we love the way he’s building on his game.
“He’s going to be a long-term player for us, I feel.
“He reminds me very much of David Astbury at the same time in his career.
“So we’ve got really high hopes for ‘Garthy’.
“He’s just got to continue to believe in himself because we certainly believe in him as a group, as coaches and players.”

Ryan Garthwaite bides his time for senior call-up with Richmond
Beau Greenway
Border Mail
18 April 2018
Ryan Garthwaite is edging closer and closer to an AFL debut with reigning premiers Richmond.
The Corowa-Rutherglen and Murray Bushrangers export played in the Tigers’ pre-season clash with Essendon and was an emergency for the round three victory over Hawthorn.
Garthwaite recently featured in Richmond’s VFL win against Port Melbourne.
However, the competition for senior spots is fierce with the Tigers only dropping one of their first four games, falling to Adelaide in a rematch of last year’s grand final in round two.
“We had a good pre-season and had that fire in our belly to want to keep improving,” Garthwaite said.
“My aim is to keep working hard and keep improving to be ready for when my time comes.
“I’m learning off some of the best defenders ever to play the game, so I’m very happy.
“The competition for spots is very high, but I think it’s a good predicament to be in.
“It pushes everyone to keep improving, which I think is healthy for a club.”
Garthwaite’s key goal is working on his strength.
“Mine is my marking and my competitiveness playing down back,” he said.
“It’s about playing my role and enjoying my footy, which is something I want to keep improving.
“We learnt a lot of things from the Adelaide game to take away, which is a bonus at the start of the year.
“We’ve been working hard and the boys have come out in the last two weeks and put on some really good performances.”
Garthwaite caught up with fans in Wodonga on Tuesday during Richmond’s visit to the region.
The club has used this week to spend some time in the community before preparing for its Anzac eve clash with Melbourne next Tuesday.

Richmond assistant coach Ben Rutten provides an insight into the impressive development of young Tiger key defender Ryan Garthwaite.
His progress this year?
“’Garthy’ is one of those guys that you can’t question with his work-rate and his desire to get better. He’s only a second-year player, but he’s taken on a big responsibility with the backline group. He’s had Ben Miller there and Noah Balta, the last few weeks, to work with, and he’s a bit of a wise head back there for us as well. He’s consistently playing really well himself, but he’s also being able to make other people around him better, which is a great strength of his . . . He’s able to nullify and often beat his direct opponent, but he’s also able to come off and help his other teammates out as well.”
Learning from seasoned Tiger backs?
“It’s a bit of a flow-down effect, really. They’re able to help Garthy and then Garthy’s able to apply that knowledge himself, but then also teach and help coach Ben Miller and Noah Balta, for example . . . He just keeps building, and we’re seeing some great results on-field . . . He’s a really long spoiler and he’s getting more confidence and more decisive about when it is the time to spoil, and when’s the time to go for his marks. He’s been balancing that out better of late, and he’s really hard to play against. He is one of the most competitive players we’ve got on our list and he just hates getting beaten. So he’s getting a few more tools to be able to make sure that doesn’t happen very often.”
His JLT pre-season performance v Essendon?
“He handled himself really well in the game. We were really pleased and took a lot of confidence out of his ability to come in and play his role there. In that game (Toby), Nankervis went down during the game and Garthy had a run through the ruck. That was something we hadn’t seen much before from him, but he competed well and had a couple of hit-outs to advantage as well.”
His key focus area?
“He’s just really driven and concentrating on repeating his form week after week and making some really good habits out there. We don’t expect him to be perfect and get it right every time, but the way he’s able to stay involved in the contest and keep backing up is terrific.”
Confident he could handle senior league football?
“He’s in some really good form at the moment and he’s ready to go when the opportunity arises. The way he’s been playing and leading those guys in defence has been terrific, and he’d only learn more by coming up to play at AFL level.”

Promising Tigers youngster in early contract talks
Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
May 17, 2018
RICHMOND has entered into preliminary talks with the management of Ryan Garthwaite about extending the promising defender's contract.
Garthwaite, 19, has been on the Tigers' list since the end of 2016 and is yet to play an AFL game.
The strength of the Tigers' backline and form of tall defenders Alex Rance, David Astbury and Dylan Grimes has made it hard for the youngster to break into the senior side.
But he's been considered at match committee on more than one occasion this season, having been named as an emergency for the Tigers' round three clash with Hawthorn and on the weekend for their round eight win over North Melbourne.
It is understood that early talks have been had about a new deal, with the versatile backman set to come out of contract at the end of this season.
Garthwaite was taken with pick No.72 overall in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft after showcasing his elite skills at the national combine that year.
The former Murray Bushranger recorded the equal best result in the clean hands test and finished in the top 10 of the goal-kicking assessment.
The Tigers have also held early talks with Jack Higgins' manager about potentially extending his current draftee contract by another two years.
However, the majority of their out-of-contract players are in a holding pattern when it comes to extension talks, as the Tigers continue to be linked to highly-priced restricted free agent Tom Lynch.
Premiership players Bachar Houli, Shaun Grigg, Jacob Townsend and Nathan Broad are coming out of contract and yet to make any significant headway in negotiations, while fringe players Sam Lloyd, Corey Ellis, Connor Menadue and Anthony Miles are also unsure of their futures at Punt Road.
The much-improved Jayden Short and reborn midfielder Reece Conca are also out of contract, as are Oleg Markov, Ivan Soldo, Shai Bolton and the injury-hit Nathan Drummond.
Ruckman Shaun Hampson is in the final year of his contract, but it's widely expected this will be the former Blue's last at AFL level given his on-going battle with a back injury that has restricted him to just one VFL game this season.
Rance recently said he was "really proud" of the way the Tigers have handled their list management over the last few years.
He also told Fox Footy he didn't "necessarily believe that we should be upsetting the apple cart to go and chase a big fish", before calling Lynch "the big tuna".

Lock him in
-
Didn't Broad resign for 2 years ?.
-
Hmm put yourself in his shoes.
If the goal is to play regular AFL footy then the odds of him getting a game in the future are negligble. Rance, Grimes, Astbury even Broad could keep him out for yrs to come.
If the aim is to play Afl then if in his shoes i would be reluctant to extend knowing there would be a good chance to get a game with another club.
The exact same can be said for the young tall fwds which is exasperated by the fact there is only one tall spot up for grabs and if Lynch comes and we change tack and play two talls the likelyhood of getting a game is slim.A player like Moore may want out for lack of opportunity or he may be delisted who knows. And Townsend may miss out to make room in the 22 for Lynch.
Corey Ellis who knows if they will keep him or cut him.
Menadue would surely be weighing up his options considering those who are regularly getting a game in front of him.
Would have thought Bolton could be traded given the number of small fwds we have on the list. He may be holding out so he can go home who knows.
Markov could be cut as well as Drummond Markov has some stiff competition for a spot in the back half and i wonder if hes done enough to even be retained.
Grigg is turning 31 in april next yr and is treading water and heading backwards. It could be Menadue plays instead.
Houli is 30 and so far this yr has far too often reverted back to the Houli of old. Short, Broad, Vlastuin, Rance, Grimes, Astbury . Not sure Markov has done enough to be kept or if he will look elsewhere.
Lloyd and Conca are nothing more than foot soldiers and would prefer to keep Miles.
Soldo has shown enough to have his contract renewed
Some you dont mind losing but some you want keep but may go for more opportunity.

Richmond teen Garthwaite ready for debut
Tessa Akerman
The Australian
12 June 2018
Richmond teenager Ryan Garthwaite is set to make his senior debut on Sunday’s big stage against Geelong at the MCG.
The fullback from NSW has been placed on standby for defender David Astbury, who is in doubt after damaging his ankle against Port Adelaide last Friday.
Richmond may have to make up to two adjustments to their back line as Nathan Broad is in some doubt after he pulled up from the 14-point loss with a sore back.
Garthwaite, who turns 20 later this month, is poised to become Richmond’s second debutant this year, following Jack Higgins, who played his eighth senior game against the Power.
Astbury, one of 10 Richmond players to have played in all 12 games this season, hurt his ankle mid-game but after medical treatment, returned to the field and played out the match. But despite a nine-day break in between games, Astbury is expected to struggle to be available, after playing in 50 consecutive matches.
Richmond general manager of football operations Neil Balme told The Australian Garthwaite warranted a senior game following his sound form in the VFL.
“He probably deserved his chance before now, to be honest,” Balme said yesterday. “He’s been in good touch and he’s a strong defender who takes a lot of intercept marks,” Balme said.
Garthwaite, who has spent 18 months honing his skills in the VFL, could be one of the bargains of the past two national drafts, having been taken with the overall 72nd selection in the 2016 draft.
But a potential debut for Garthwaite will be overshadowed by the likely return of Dustin Martin, who was ruled out last week with a minor calf issue. The midfield star has never missed consecutive matches because of injury.
His absence against Port ended a run of 83 consecutive games, as he had not missed a match since round 22, 2014, when hamstring soreness ruled him out. After making his debut in the opening round of 2010, Martin has played 189 of a possible 194 games, having missed three games with injuries and two because of an internal suspension.
Balme said Martin was scheduled to train with teammates today at Punt Road.
While Bachar Houli (groin) and Dion Prestia (calf) won’t return until after Richmond’s round 14 bye, the Tigers have several other options available to them against the Cats.
After gaining match conditioning in the VFL over the past month, Daniel Rioli appears certain to return this weekend for the first time since he required surgery on the foot he fractured in last year’s grand final.
The skilful forward kicked two goals in the lower grade at Williamstown on Sunday, along with fellow premiership forward Jacob Townsend, who is also a chance to be reinstated. He hasn’t played at senior level since being omitted from the round-10 team against St Kilda.
Richmond will have at least one forward position open up as back-up player Callum Moore appears certain to be demoted after being given a chance to show his worth in three straight games. He was held scoreless and to eight possessions against Port.

So what did we all think of Garth's debut effort?
-
Yeah how did he go?
-
Shaky early on & a few cock ups in the 3rd. Finished off a lot better though. Would imagine he goes out for Big David next week.
Good experience for him though. Played a fair bit on Hawkins and that is no easy task
-
Bit of a shaky start but warmed to the game.
-
That's a tough first assignment. I hope he gets confidence from it
-
Yeah I think he adjusted to the standard reasonably well as the game went on. Having said that, he's a step down from Astbury at the moment. Still, a tough day for a key defender, can hold his head high. :cheers
-
I was actually really impressed.
He did make a few clangers, and some of his positional running wasn't that great, but gee, there was a lot to like IMO.
Loved the fact that he preserved even after a few errors. Great diving smother saved us a crucial goal in the third.
I thought he looked a real prospect. Much better than I thought.

Dimma's call brings tears for new Tiger
Mitch Cleary
afl.com.au
Jun 18, 2018
RICHMOND debutant Ryan Garthwaite was reduced to tears when he received the call from Damien Hardwick that he would be fulfilling a lifelong dream against Geelong at the MCG.
The second-year defender was thrown in the deep end on Sunday, sent to in-form forward Tom Hawkins after David Astbury failed to overcome an ankle injury.
Garthwaite said it was hard to keep his emotions in check when he was told of his selection just 24 hours before the match.
"He told me and I tried to keep my emotions together, when you get that it's a dream come true and (I) shed a few tears," Garthwaite told AFL.com.au.
"When he rang me, I was just sitting in my room, it was that surreal feeling.
"When you start Auskick at the age of six, it's your dream to play AFL football. When that call finally comes, it's like, 'Hang on, it's finally here'.
"The family weren't originally coming down for the weekend but as soon as I told them, they jumped in the car and came straight down."
Hawkins kicked two goals in an ominous first term before Garthwaite found his feet.
"I just needed to reset again, I was getting a bit high up the ground rather than covering the back space and that's how he was getting them," he said.
"Lining up on him is another opportunity to improve, obviously he's a well-known footballer and a big lump of a lad.
"When I go out there I accept any challenge that's thrown at me, I'm a competitive person and that's the way I play."
The Murray Bushrangers product typified the Tigers' intensity with a gusty smother to deny Cat James Parsons a certain goal in the second term, something he described as second nature.
"I think that's another part of my game is my competitiveness and my desperation," he said.
"I got pushed in the back, slid on my knees and crawled to get the hand out there. We all celebrate that, there were countless times the boys got a smother in today.
"That's just who we are at Richmond."
Hardwick said it was rewarding to unveil the club's second debutant of the season after 2017 first-round draft pick Jack Higgins forced his way into the side in round three.
"To see young Garthwaite come in, he's a very popular member of our footy club, one for his character but two for his incredible work rate, the way he approaches his training," he said.
"For a first-game player to play on one of the premier forwards in the competition, he'll certainly learn a lot.
"We've always known he's going to be a pretty good player, he's a David Astbury-type clone."
And as for the 19-year-old's Gatorade shower after the 18-point victory.
"It took my breath away to be honest, it felt like there were 50 Gatorade bottles being thrown at me," he said.
Recruited from the Bushrangers via Corowa-Rutherglen, Garthwaite was taken at pick No.72 in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft.

-
that's kinda crazy! it looks as if he knew what he was doing!
-
Very under done, needs more time, that experience would have opened his eyes, needs to keep playing the odd game where he can.
-
I can see why we are top of the VFL as well.
-
Keep him in and flick Broad :shh
-
Very good debut, as his hand skills become surer he will be very good

Tiger 'you'd want to marry your daughter' signs
Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
Jun 21, 2018
POPULAR young Tiger Ryan Garthwaite will remain at the club until at least the end of 2019 after quietly signing a one-year contract extension earlier this year.
AFL.com.au understands the 19-year-old, who made his AFL debut on Sunday against Geelong, inked the new deal about two months ago.
He was a late inclusion into Sunday's side after fellow defender Davis Astbury failed to recover from the ankle he injured against Port Adelaide in round 12.
Coach Damien Hardwick said after the game it had been a bonus for the premiers to unveil a second debutant for the season after Jack Higgins played his first game in round three.
"To see young Garthwaite come in, he's a very popular member of our footy club, one for his character but two for his incredible work-rate, the way he approaches his training," Hardwick said.
"For a first-game player to play on one of the premier forwards in the competition, he'll certainly learn a lot.
"We've always known he's going to be a pretty good player, he's a David Astbury-type clone."
Garthwaite played on Tom Hawkins at times and overcame a shaky start to hold his own against the experienced Cat.
The backman was drafted from the Murray Bushrangers at pick No.72 in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft and spent his first year at the club developing in the VFL.
He hails from the New South Wales Riverina town of Corowa and has made a big impression on his Richmond teammates in 18 months.
Club captain Trent Cotchin this week told richmondfc.com.au he was the type of person "you'd want to marry your daughter" and Jack Riewoldt said he was the "nicest bloke you'll ever meet".
Defender Nick Vlastuin told a story about how his teammate reacted when his car was stolen.
"He used to drive a Ford Sapphire, I think it was called – a real old, beat up car," Vlastuin said.
"Then, some dude stole it and crashed it into a tree.
"There was a bit of blood left in the car and 'Garth' was actually worried about how the guy was, rather than his car."

A change to past years when the media would give it to us for overlooking players.
Ryan Garthwaite – Richmond (Pick 72, 2016 NAB AFL Draft)
Fully stocked with key defenders in Phil Davis, Aidan Corr, Jeremy Finlayson, Nick Haynes and Tim Mohr, the Giants watched the 192cm prospect end up at Punt Road. Debuting this year and playing two matches, the Albury big man looks next in line behind Richmond's settled key defensive trio of Alex Rance, Dylan Grimes and David Astbury.

With all those banging on about bringing in Garthwaite, can someone please tell me how he’s travelling with his injury, match fitness and how he went in the VFL the other day?

Played well however received a cork to the left leg during the 3rd. Not sure about the extent or if it will keep him out. If not, definitely plays in seniors next week.
-
A nine day break will help him a bit too.
-
Reckon they will do everything they can to get right for this game
With Grimes out we need him
-
Agree. Definitely need him.
-
Can’t believe we are relying on a two gamer so badly.

People need to remember the fact he's still a kid. Not going to solve all our problems and TBH, there are going to be times where he is comprehensively beaten by a forward. He's still developing. We need the kid but it's not as if his inclusion is going to be some kind of miracle
-
We're relying on him because two gamer or not , he's pretty much the only genuine/specialist tall defender back up with any kind of exposed AFL form in that position that we've got atm and we need to start getting more games into him..... :shh
-
Can’t believe we are relying on a two gamer so badly.
It exposes the poor list management by our match committee last year when they chose to play injured, underdone or underperforming players as opposed to promoting any of their understudies from the seconds.
-
I know he might only have two games at senior level, but he is in his third year of the system. He has been learning his craft with less pressure in the twos. Nothing wrong with expecting him now to step up. There is a huge difference between a two game first year defender and a two game third year defender.
-
It doesn’t matter how many games he’s played, is he our best option? Yes he is
-
Leppa's review of Garth's 2019 so far:
His first five AFL games of 2019
"He's looked really good. He's got that highly defensive mindset and he's still slowly building in his offensive component of his game. He's a big spoiler as we know and likes to glue to his opposition, so they're always trustworthy players."
His huge distance covered in games (15.8km average for his past four games)
"There's always one defender, usually your tallest key, that plays 100 per cent of the game and he's it for us. They tend to build the kilometres mostly based off the the time they play, they probably play 10 per cent longer than most other players. There is a lot of that sweeping running where you're pushing up the ground and then going left to right, and a lot of kilometres getting built from a lot of possessions but it does definitely secure our defence well."
His number one rank at the Club for spoils
"He's not so much our intercept possession-type player, but he's the one that plays behind, gets the spoil done and gets some distance for our offence to rebound. He's slowly building the offensive part of his game but that will come when he learns some smarter positioning on the ground and more aggressive positioning, but we're hopeful that will build over time."
Experience playing on opposition sides' key forwards
"You put him on a guy like Ben Brown (North Melbourne) last week and give him the big job but you're kind of hopeful that the support around him, like Astbury and Grimes, can come in and give him that extra support. Because (Garthwaite's) our most defensive player, we think giving him the bigger jobs is a good idea."

Young defender Ryan Garthwaite (eight games) will once again have a formidable opponent in either Taylor Walker or Josh Jenkins after lining up on Tom Hawkins.
"'Garthy', to me, he's 20 years of age playing against some of the best forwards in the competition, and you don't often get to do that at the age of 20 in a side like ours," Hardwick said.
"We're really confident he's learning some things, he played better again on the weekend and he's certainly taken his game to a higher level every time he takes to the park.
"We look at it now in isolation, we sit there and go, 'he's probably getting beaten at stages,' but the reality is, it's only going to help in the long term, and it'll certainly help us in the long term as well."

Very undersized tonight down back. Midfield will lower their colours too.
Expect another paddlin' IMO.
Never thought I'd say this but I wish Astbury was playing to man up on Jenkins - the bloke will probably kick a bag playing on our midget backline...
-
Still not sure about Garthwaite.Heis only a kid and needs games and time but geez i have my concerns
I really think the missing piece down back is a Harris Andrews type and i still think Astbury a very ordinary player despite him being a premiership player.

the last two times with Astbury there Jenkins kicked 5 first game and 3 in the second game i think Walker kicked 4 or 5 in one of those games as well.
I have long thought we should be looking for an upgrade on Astbury and still think it despite him being servicable at times.
-
Should target Darcy Gardiner from the Lions before Geelong swoop - gettable
-
Gardiner and Fletcher Roberts, draft Ben Kelly... :shh
-
Still developing. Really should be trying to only handle the third best forward not the best every week but unfortunately he is getting thrown into the deep end and is struggling.
But I’m sure in the long run he will learn a lot from this experience.

The thing about being a 3rd tall is that you ideally have footy smarts, are quick, versatile and don't drop the ball with 2 hands when kicking.
Bloke was literally being outrun by Josh Jenkins last night FFS.

The same Jenkins that's also given Rance a couple of baths at Adelaide Oval.... :shh

Not the same Jenkins.
This Jenkins has been dropped for poor form of late....:shh

Correct weight.
He has absolutely no attributes to play on “the 3rd tall”
I actually felt sorry for the bloke he was so so bad.
Will not make it at AFL level.
Dud delist..... and I’m not even joking
-
I see improvement, but wouldn't be playing except for the injuries
bit tough to be the main defender after a handful of games
-
Seriously....at the worst he'll just be another Kelvin Moore...dominated the twos and looked twice the player last year in those couple of senior games with Rance showing him the way....same could be said for most of the side.... ..:shh
-
Let's not forget limited preseason to.
-
Yes he is young for sure, but at times I feel like I’m watching tapes of James Manson and Paul Bulluss with that kicking action

9 disposals (5k, 4h, 3c, 5u, 88.9% eff.)
2 marks (1 contested mark)
2 tackles
1 inside 50
4 intercepts
110m gained
97% time on ground

Played his role, was beaten in the last due to easy entries and weight of forward 50’s.

He wasn't the worst
Final qtr, he like all the defenders had no hope with the ball just coming in with mid field defensive pressure being applied
-
I actually thought he was good and spoiling a really highlight in the first half.
-
he was decent but fair dinkum he is not a kpd and id prefer we had a more rounded third tall type.

Adam Kingsley's comments about Garth:
"We've been really proud of his last fortnight. He's played a lot of the VFL season as a key forward, so we were trying to change up his position, a little bit like what we did with Daniel, to find an avenue for him into the team. (After) a few key injuries to backs both in the AFL and the VFL, with Ben Miller going down, 'Garthy' gets his chance again. He just competes. He's great to watch and is always fighting and trying to nullify his opponent but also help out his teammates...His off-field stuff is really important too."

FORMER TIGER HEADED TO THE US TO CHASE PUNTING DREAM
By Lachlan Geleit
SEN
27 September 2022
Former Richmond defender Ryan Garthwaite is set to try his hand at punting in US college football, according to SEN SA’s Bryce Gibbs.
Gibbs, who was teammates with Garthwaite at SANFL club South Adelaide this year, says the 24-year-old has been keen on pursuing a move to the states since finishing at Richmond at the end of the 2021 season.
“Fun fact, Ryan Garthwaite, who played at the Panthers this year, is going to have a crack at punting,” Gibbs said on SEN SA Breakfast.
“He’s trying to get into college over there.
“He said he’s been doing it since he finished at Richmond a couple of years ago.
“That’s something he’s pursuing as we speak.”
When asked how Garthwaite was hoping to pursue his next move, Gibbs said he believed his teammate would go through existing Australian pathways in hopes of landing a college scholarship.
“I believe so (that Garthwaite will utilise existing pathways for ex-AFL players),” Gibbs said.
“The next step for him is to land at a college, he’s in his mid-20s.”
Garthwaite has earned a reputation for his booming kick in the SANFL, highlighted by his 65-metre after-the-siren torpedo goal for South Adelaide against Port Adelaide earlier this season.
