Pick 53: Jack Graham

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Nice to have a genuine young midfielder in the 2's.

It's like a breath of fresh air.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

The Cunnington comparison is spot on imho

Not a bad thing. Hopefully has a bit more pace.

 

[nikolasmia]

He plays like a young Prestia but bigger

Oh great. Just when I was getting excited!

 

[jokershoppe]

THE MOST IMPRESSIVE part of his game is something that most mids struggle with permanently, thats two way running ,already is better than most mids in this underated area.

 

[spook]

We really need this bloke to make it. We haven't jagged a gun mid late in the draft since Foley.

Yeah, getting an A grader late speeds up everything.

Graham was a great value pick at 53. Fills a glaring need.

If this bloke makes it, he will make every bloke with speed 10% better.

 

[GEDS1]

Well, well, well boys and girls we have got one here I reckon. Can kick and is very hard at it ....nice

 

[Timmy99]

Gee we've been crying out for an inside bull who can run both ways.

 

[GEDS1]

That he can do. Loved it today several times he kicked long to a contest and by the time the ball was spoiled he was at the contest.

 

[Mr Brightside]

If his fit in a month I'd say he'd be a big chance of coming in.

 

[zippadeee]

Great to hear. He was captain of SA for a reason.

Yeah, he was on the TV screen an awful lot.

He looked to me like a 26 year old mid coming back through the 2's from injury, rather than a 19 year old starting out.

Has more pace than I expected too

I think this bloke will play 200 games

He is a big unit Easy. He is what the doctor ordered for our midfield.

I was wondering during last nights game where we could could get a Powell-Pepper from. We need another inside mid with size IMO. With Caddy playing more as a mid we finally have some size in the midfield. Add another bull and we'd have the size to match anyone.

If Graham becomes the bull we need we can comfortably take two talls with our first rounders nest year. It could enable us to level up again.

His development is massively important to our future planning.

Interesting how there fairly similar for junior mids yet one went in the first round the other in the 50s

 

[Mantikorr]

Sounds great, but where do we fit him in at the moment? Can't see them dropping Caddy, Prestia or Grigg, and Lambert is in career best form and has locked up his spot.

Good problem to have

 

[waiting]

Thanks for your comments Easy.

This guy , going by his video looks like a bull midfielder who can make a contribution towards the end.

There are pressures for spots now and players reputation or $ shouldn't come into it.

If Big Mac continues to underperform- could take his spot

Graham and Naish could be our next generation mids and as others have said allows us to focus on the talls - a ruck/forward and CHF

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Where was he touted as going last year if he didn't have injury concerns?
