Pick 53: Jack Graham

What impressed me with Jack was the seeming lack of nerves, it was like he'd played for 4-5 years.

Pick 53!!!! Love it. Hope we get another "bargain" in this years draft.
 
Just watched the replay.
Really impressed that a 3 game 19 year old was standing Dangerfield and Selwood.
Says so much about his ability, clubs faith in him and the new Richmond approach.
Freed up Cotchin and Prestia who both starred.
A massive in for this club in the last part of the year.
Happy days!
 
I said it the day he was drafted and my opinion has not changed since - Our Joel Selwood

Last pre season he come to the club injured and didnt get a full pre season, But this year he will have min 2 finals under his belt and fit and really hit the track and the gym and come into 2018 fitter,Faster & Stronger full of confidence

Prediction : $100 on a rising star
 
3 games, average of 9 tackles. Think we have a fair idea what his intent is going to be.
 
Gotta love a young player who oozes competitive instinct and doesn't shy away from the body contests. He's a tackling brute.
 
Really liked his get and give in the last that led to lamberts snap goal and sealed the game
Really solid decision maker and isn't overawed. I really like this kid, think he can develop into a good player for us, possibly even potential leader
 
This kid is pushing beyond his limits. He was gassed just before half time after playing a senior role in the first half. You had to see him sucking air. But he chased. That last tackle before was broken because exhausted. Not many others were.

He got a freshen and late in the game he was a force again. His 60% TOG was planned, of course. And he did the job of a very senior midfielder in this time.

Awesome youngster.
 
This good is a beauty and the coaches on game are aware about burning this kid out.

Building.

Holds his spot in the PF.

Don't know how much game time he has paid in his 3 games so far. Build his tank and he will be even better.
 
Just watched the replay- he always seemed close to the play and was involved- you wouldn't think he has only played 3 or 4 games.

Will be a very good player before we know it.
 
Jack pumped him up on AFL360.

He laid 6 tackles and had 3 holding the ball decisions go his way in the first quarter.

Amazing effort.
 
I reckon with the block of games he played at the end of the season and having the week off he will be cherry ripe to announce himself to the football world in a big way today. Hope he plays a blinder along with Dusty, Cotch, Prestia, Rancey & Rioli. Go boys.
 
This kid has a big game today, and it will be the game that makes him become a Tiger for life, he has come into the team at the right time, he will be a champion. He will be one of the best players out of SA ever to play for Richmond.

Big calls, but I'm excited.

He is a leader going forward that much is obvious.

He'd be happy to give the bird to the Crows next week after they didnt take him.
