Mid-season rookie pickup Ryan Gardner was injected into the senior squad right off the bat, then out two games later after a couple of goals from 12 total touches. Gardner remains on the list but doesn't scream job security nor accumulation. It's an easy pass.

Gardner to bloom late
Geelong's tall defenders have been pretty healthy for the two years that Ryan Gardner has been on their list, so he has been restricted to VFL duties. Statistically, he managed some decent fantasy scores last April then dropped away to average 50. The retirement of Tom Lonergan should see Gardner play early in the new season, perhaps even in round 1. This should not be of great interest to draft league coaches, even though there will be fantasy buzz around him in salary cap competitions.
