Pick 53: Jack Graham

[Platinum member]

Being serious for a second you don't get to win a larke medal and be captain of SA if you can't play.. will be a 150 game player

I've got high hopes for graham... but there's certainly been some dud larke medallists...

 

[tigermike]

David Bourke did.

Wiry
Thin
Frame

Physique

Not just his skinny frame... he tried to play with the same fearless aggression shown by his old man but he didn't have the build to play that way. Needed to modify his style of play until he could get his physique built up with a few pre-seasons but perhaps Richmond couldn't wait that long.

Anyone know when Conca will be available?.

Conca spoke at 3121 before game on weekend and said he is 5 weeks away so we may as well wipe him for the season i reckon.

 

[Tigers of Old]

No. Apparently other foot

That makes me feel better.

With his history of soft tissue injuries, I'd imagine he'd need a solid mini pre season to avoid the risk of re injuring one of his previous injuries, really needs to get miles in the legs, I'd say 2017 might have a line through it.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Bugger.

 

[The tooth]

Perfect timing for a recall to do his hammy in the finals. Good times... :

 

[tigerman]

Great to see Jack named in the VFL side tomorrow. If he can string a few games together is it too late in the season for him make his debut? I'm thinking it probably is, it's a shame he sprained his ankle when he did.

 

[caesar]

Today's VFL half time stats:

Graham 18 disposals, (just back from another ankle injury too).

The man, (make that the Boy), is a beast.

 

[Letsroar]

Who was the last Richmond player to debut in a final. Only ask because wouldn't surprise if graham was the next

 

[Barnzy]

Rising star next year. Lock it in if fit.

 

[TigerForce]

Best number 34 since.... :hihi

 

[gutfull]

Jeez just get him in the 1's..

 

[year of the tiger]

Love to see how he goes when he gets his chance - who does he replace.

The Hawks at the G would be a perfect game - get him to run with Mitchell for patches.

 

[WesternTiger]

Lazy 33 disposals today.

Am sure there was nothing lazy about them :clap

So, after another sound win without JR, who would you drop, given Bolton should go out for Jack if he's fit to play? Butler? Castagna? Maybe, but Graham is not a small forward. Possibly Prestia won't come up, but expected back, so that's another spot you have to find too.

To suggest he debuts to tag Mitchell is simply hilarious. So, good form in the VFL against the Roosters makes him equipped to match up on the highest possession-winning mid in the comp? Ahead of Miles or Prestia?

Are you a plant from the Dawks?

 

[happytige]

Maybe a replacement for Miles

 

[leon]

Maybe a replacement for Miles

Who was rated our 2nd best player on AF last night: 23 hard-ball disposals at 82.6 DE% with 13 CPs. Did you watch both his games? As usual, does a heap of grunt work at the coalface.

Look, Graham looks very promising, and I want him in if the coaches think he's 100% ripe and ready to go, but it's a great problem to have with several of the VFL boys raising their hands: Stengle, Lennon and Short too. But even Corey Ellis showed some positive signs last night.

I actually reckon Lennon is worth thought to combat all the Dawks marking power down back, plus he is a strong kick on goal. The problem for Graham is our midfield is going well. Possibly in for Ellis though.
