Pick 53: Jack Graham

[Blind Charlie]

Like Graham, he's the epitome of a Richmond man. Playing on after that shoulder dislocation was inspirational.
You build clubs around these types & IMO he's getting better by the game, only 22yo keep.

 

[tigertim]

4 years hey? They must rate him very highly. Two first rounders thanks Tankers. We still remember Yarra

They’ll offer a fourth rounder.

Only because they can’t trade a rookie pick.

 

[Tenacious]

Well played again Jack G

 

[UKTiger]

Just cementing his place in the firsts with his game over the last few weeks.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Been let of the leash since he came back and in career best form, huge impotance in our midfield rotations

 

[AngryAnt]

Really consistent ... rarely stuffs up and covering the ground now

 

[Brettstigers]

I mean Captain Obvious and all that - but he is not being gifted games any more - with his current body of form he demands a spot and keeps a player like Caddy out.

Pun intended but current body of form is in a big way due to the fact that his current body is uninjured and he’s finally able to run and move with freedom.
He is a very good footballer

 

[tigerman]

Has been great the last few weeks, really, really, really hope he stays.

Can't see him leaving. His strong leadership instincts will stoke his loyalty.

 

[Harry]

said he was an important piece to our premiership puzzle when alot of people jumped off

also said he'll be our next captain. reckon the club is grooming him

just need the shoulders to stand up

 

[Scoop]

Mid year I was at peace with him leaving. Someone was going to offer him coin, thought the Crows would move hard on him. Still do. But the last six weeks he’s looked different, sharp, agile, cleaner below the knees, getting involved in links of play not just working in traffic . He might be levelling up. We know he plays well in big games, we know he is ferociously team first and he plays his 50th game next week. Will be 23 all of next year.

I’m upgrading him, he’s a must stay.

Starting to feel the same way. Looked physically shot a while back but moving so much better now. His price is increasing.

Don't think he's for sale, full stop.

 

[Rancey18]

He aint going anywhere. The boys love him and more importantly - so does Dimma.

He was always going to take time to build confidence after a second shoulder reconstruction.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

That's a very good point, Rancey.
We only had to see the player's and coach's reaction to his awful shoulder injury in last year's prelim final.
What a herculean effort that proved to be. An effort that has now been forged in Richmond folklore what with Konrad Marshall's writings.

 

[TigerPort]

Yet again the "wait until they play 50 games" to see if they are a player is confirmed

 

[achillesjones]

The fridge is flying.

 

[Jason King]

He looks so much more composed and comfortable. Surely we would be in his ear that the captaincy is his when Cotch retires or no longer wants it. Born leader.
