Pick 53: Jack Graham

[TT33]

Huh ?

All I said was we punters don’t know who the leaders are in the playing group and we need to have some good leaders around.

I’ll make sure from now on I only make statements about the need for leaders in the leaders thread. Do we have one of those?

You could probably lead off with one

If Jacks body can hold up he could be very handy considering his age and experience and would give Yze options with the amount of Cubs will have . In saying that if we could get pick 20ish for Jack I’d think that’s fair enough.

Or maybe we should put disclaimers on all our posts?

And fmd if I did not get training this week that said a love emoji could be sexual discrimination and illegal.

disclaimer : All RE love emojis mean I really liked your post. I have no professed sexual interest in you personally but retain the right to change that position based on subsequent events and most likely a 180 degree shift in my sexual preferences given that most (but not all) folks posting here are likely blokes.

Sure, and then I can redirect everyone who mentions leaders to that particular thread. Should be fun

Thats the problem his body never holds up his always out with an injury x number of weeks. We then rush him back in no regain form confidence in the twos and looks like a busted ass that can't run due to not being match fit. Then the following match get injured again rinse repeat. So frustrating I don't know why he can't build match fitness in the 2s then return .

His body won’t hold up & he’s on the decline. He should grab the West Coast deal & run. He has 2 year max left in him at reduced output.

Agreed. You don’t offer 4 year deals just for his perceived leadership.
He needs to e able to get onto the field and perform during that 4 years. Otherwise his “leadership” is wasted in the vfl.
Not very smart list management and he’s shown that wear and tear already

I just saw a video of Jack Graham chasing and bringing down Adam Saad.
PS. I didn't take note of the credits, probably proudly produced by the RFC Trading department

This stat is misleading. He’s slow for AFL. He takes a very long time to hit top speed.

Imagine hitting top speed at the 90m mark in a 100m sprint. You’ll finish dead last everytime. Slowwww

Second highest maximum speed in the game and highest average speed in the game.
No other than Graham he ticks all the boxes

Speed over the first 5 meters is the most important, and being able to repeat it again and again.

 

[turk-d-tiger]

Thats why they measure 20mtr sprint times at the combine
3.0 seconds is very good for a inside mid

Can you get a running start for that sprint? It’d take me 3.0 seconds to go from “ready” to “on your mark”

Given those stats have you considered why we don’t enter him in the Grand Final sprint each year?

His top speed is fine. His Top speed is completely wasted by the fact takes him 45 seconds to get there. He would finish dead last in a GF sprint.

Could we change it to a Grand Final 400m? He's clearly not slow. Just has the acceleration of the Queen Mary.

Reports are Graham is definitely gone
And we are looking at a end of 2nd rounder as compo
