Pick 53: Jack Graham

[The Mole]

No.

Disagree. After watching him closely these last 3 games he is super important to our structure. He hunts the oppositions best midfielder and seriously reduces their effectiveness.

 

[Smoking Aces]

The biggest thing I have noticed is that he is a two way runner.

Covers a lot of ground and this is off a limited pre-season.

Yesterday on Sen ,

They asked Mick Malthouse who has the best midfield ,

He said if you don't look at names or reputations and just look at how they work as a unit , it's hard to go past the tigers

 

[Dyer'ere]

We've known all year that Graham is coming through and I believe his arrival bears out the idea that midfielders can take us higher. And that we need more.

In most of our games for 2017 we've had periods when we couldn't get our hands on the ball. That's midfield weakness. Lack of rotations.

This changed over the past three weeks. Graham can only play a half ATM but that half has been invaluable. Two or three clearances and eight or so telling tackles. Match-changing stuff. Numbers we weren't going to get.

Freed by Towner, Caddy is also getting clear.

Prestia has levelled up too. And look at how much richer our rotations are.

Just a half a game of elite from Jack Graham has improved us massively.

Disagree. After watching him closely these last 3 games he is super important to our structure. He hunts the oppositions best midfielder and seriously reduces their effectiveness.

He targets stars, TM. Successfully. I love the ambition.

Should play in the VFL Prelim, if he is eligible, get some run into him.

Doubt he'll play 2's again for a long time unless returning from injury.

 

[Bill James]

Can't help smiling every time I read this Thread title. Pick 53, see your Luke Parker and raise you one.

 

[TT33]

Doubt he'll play 2's again for a long time unless returning from injury.

Well let's hope he never plays VFL again

 

[turk-d-tiger]

His first 5 games will be 5-0
3 finals including a winning grand final
2 HA games
1 Flag

And then becomes the first player to win the rising star as an existing premiership player.

 

[3121FC]

The VFL boys could do with him and towner next week

 

[evo]

5 tackles in the 1st quarter, what a way to stamp yourself as a finals player

yeah, fantastic. He, Prestia, Lablett and Chimp set the tone.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Thought the step up might overawe him a little, but it didn't at all. Gun.

Townsend to important to risk with injury.

 

[Quickdraw]

Seems like an old head on young shoulders. Doesn't seem fazed at all. Just goes about it, and very calmly at that.

 

[tigerlee]

Loving this kid. So well built for his age and he is not afraid. How good is he at getting in and tackling. He is gunna be a star ️

 

[BillyJean17]

Won't be risking them for that mate I can guarantee it

 

[dimmauchump]

Our own Josh Kennedy.

 

[tigersnake]

We all knew he'd be solid despite playing only 2 games, and he was.

 

[Tigers of Old]

3rd most pressure acts on ground with 23!

No doubt his inclusion has helped the side caesar.
This team's signature is pressure and Jack has added wonderfully to that.

 

[MD Jazz]

How good for his development to have played when he has? Reckon he's had a 50 game acceleration. Recall Malthouse always saying how important it was for a young players development to play in big games. Bodes well for his future.
