Pick 53: Jack Graham

He really came to the fore in the last quarter.
13:50 to go in the final quarter Graham backs back as Dangerfield is flying up the field to make a spoil, takes the collision, then recovers. Courage personified and underrated. Next Captain?

Huge second half to 2020 culminating in a very solid GF. I got him wrong, thought it would not be a big loss if he went back to Adelaide, so happy he re signed with us. Kudos Jack.

Love him as a player and I am so happy for him to get his second medal, he so deserved it. Will be a great player for us for years to come.

We have a few future skippers tracking along nicely. Flossy, Fridge, Grimesy (and JRoss setting for a long run in!)
Dusty has the inspirational 'come with me boys' approach too

My favourite non-chimp cap'n was Shedda last year. Loved how he stepped up and led the team

And what about his ability to lace-out a pass from distance to the tit of a leading forward

There's a group of Tigers, unfashionable Tigers I love. They're the heartbeat for me. Dusty adds the cherry, the icing and the sparklers, but those guys are the foundation for keeping our system together.
Fridge is one of those guys. I felt so broken for him last year knowing what he did in the preliminary final to get us through.
Yesterday was the karma bus rewarding him and McIntosh for "sticking fat" with the club.
I just love what this "nuggety little guy" brings to the team.

Not flashy, just does everything well. Tough, inside, runs, tackles, sits under the high ball, selfless, brave.

A footballer's footballer.

Had a few shaky moments early on in the season but got his body right and mind in sync and got his well deserved 2nd GF medal. Glad he resigned for us and hope he has a long and successful career with us
 
Love Graham and glad he signed on, next skipper for me.

listening to Cotch yesterday it doesn’t sound like he’s ready to retire so he may keep captaincy for another tilt :)
 
His kicking at full pace to a fwd on the lead is as good as any in the comp. He stepped up when others weren’t there and then like Bolton, was happy to play another lesser role when they returned. He is going to be a huge part of our future.
