After a pretty solid 2009 season that showed that he could play some reasonable footy at AFL level, Graham was overlooked early in the 2010 season, with the coaching staff preferring the ruck duo of Simmonds and Vickery. Reports out of Coburg were not promising for Gus and for a while it seemed as if his form in 2009 may have been an aberration. However, with the retirement of Simmonds, Gus got his opportunity and to his credit strung together some very good games in the ruck and showed that he certainly has a future with the Richmond footy club. He appeared to fade towards the end of the season, the result of playing first ruck for an extended period and the aftermath of some bone-jarring bumps to the ribs in a couple of games. It would appear that Graham will be shouldering the load as first ruck at the Tigers, at least for 2011, while Vickery, Browne and any drafted ruckman continue to develop.
