Player Watch #34: Jack Graham - MOVED TO WCE - PICK 42 Received

[captain blood 17]

Aren’t we “supporters”

Some on here aren’t even that. They’re “imposters” if you follow their posting in all threads.

 

[Masotiger]

With respect to Graham, I really don't think having him on the list another 4 years is right for us. I can see the merit for another year or two to not lose too many senior players in one year, but rather than a 4 year deal we should just let him go and take the compo.

I'm neither here nor there about Graham staying or going.

But if we're going to invest heavily in this years draft and most probably next years as well; then surely the club will need bigger bodied, experienced players to nurture the youngsters through their first 60, 80, 100 games. It's going to take 4 - 6 years.

The club had much worse players than Graham playing a role whilst Cotchin, Martin, Rance, Reiwoldt, etc, were cutting their teeth in the game. We can't throw everyone out.

 

[TigerImposter]

Correct, kind of like the Ellis situation where we offered Brando a deal, but we told him to look elsewhere as well at the time.

so we offered him a deal now? So how again did we ill treat Graham?

 

[TigerImposter]

Aren’t we “supporters”

Yes but we are Stakeholders as well. No money from us and the club goes bust.

 

[TigerImposter]

Hang on wafflehouse, you were the one saying Graham was a mercenary. Remember that? I was saying we told him to explore options. I never said we hadn’t offered a contract.
And the irony of you suggesting i’m playing the man. Fantastic comedy.
And i’m glad Groc came on and validated what i had said.

No I didn’t say he was a mercenary. You made that up. I just stated that he has been disloyal to us twice now. This is in fact true. . As I told Groc it means nothing unless it’s official on RFC website and it has nothing with the argument. So cut out the nonsense and bullshit

 

[captain blood 17]

Mate, seriously, no, we asked him to explore his options. We weren't banking on losing Baker, Bolton and Rioli. Club backtracked and then offered a greater offer to Graham. The club stuffed up. It's not that hard to understand. And it was Groc that discussed it. You're the one saying Graham is a mercenary. It couldn't be further from the truth. You're like a shot gun or a dude with diahrea. You just spray shit everywhere in every thread. It's honestly impressive how wrong you are in every thread.

Here’s a quote from days ago. With all your raging and inconsistencies, surprised you missed it being the smartest bloke in the room.

 

[captain blood 17]

Yeah, but someone should tell Graham to have some respect for ditching us twice now looking for more money and greener pastures. The minute you give up loyalty then respect walks out the door with you. Fxxk him i say.

No I didn’t say he was a mercenary. You made that up. I just stated that he has been disloyal to us twice now. This is in fact true. . As I told Groc it means nothing unless it’s official on RFC website and it has nothing with the argument. So cut out the nonsense and bullshit

“Looking for more money and greener pastures”.

Thanks for playing.

It's irrelevant to what you quoted me on and is just you looking for a bullshit escape clause to avoid embarrassment. I can say my source told me JGTI ditched the RFC for more money, but it's not evidence unless it's official Knowledge by the RFC.
So stop wasting my time as again we offered him 2 contracts and he's still weighing up his options. This makes my argument stronger and closer to the mark that JGTI is still sniffing around for a greener pasture although we've matched Eagle's offer. Do you understand as it's pretty simple?

FFS.. if he leaves, cool... if he stays, whatever...
Hardly going to make or break our rebuild.

I for one appreciate the guys sharing their mail.. it doesn't matter if they're right or wrong, they're just passing on information on an internet forum and nobody should be taking it as 100% correct unless it's from the club in an announcement

 

[TigerImposter]

“Looking for more money and greener pastures”.

Thanks for playing.

lol as he is as he's had two offers and he's weighing up his options. ffs are you really so simple or just being disruptive?

edit: i'LL SIMPLIFY IT FOR YOU

If he's not looking for greener pastures and more money then why hasn't he signed? Surely if the RFC had ditched him as you said wouldn't he have fxxked off by now by being told to go? lol it's all nonsense and a figment of your imagination.

Is Chris Scott in here ?

 

[panatha1908]

I'm neither here nor there about Graham staying or going.

But if we're going to invest heavily in this years draft and most probably next years as well; then surely the club will need bigger bodied, experienced players to nurture the youngsters through their first 60, 80, 100 games. It's going to take 4 - 6 years.

The club had much worse players than Graham playing a role whilst Cotchin, Martin, Rance, Reiwoldt, etc, were cutting their teeth in the game. We can't throw everyone out.

I feel like it's all been done well. Being honest with a player is the right thing to do and Graham is grown up enough to appreciate that and the heads up to look around. With other players looking to go we are right to offer him a contract. Everyone is an adult at the club and I appreciate that they are honest. Good luck to Graham. He will make the decision that's in his best interests. He really has given everything for the club and I'll be forever thankful we took the punt on him in the 50s in the draft. He was SA u18 captain and you can't put a price on having those good easy to coach type players in the club.

That's the nature of the business. Tigs summed it up. Just because the mail was wrong at the end, doesn't mean it was wrong at the time it was shared.

Circumstances change, people can change minds etc. I said Burgess was locked to us, but then Sydney announced a review into their fitness and conditioning department, caused Adelaide to hold Burgess to his contract as they didn't want to be competing with Carlton, Us and Sydney in the hunt for new head of department.

But yeah, please don't take anything as gospel. Sometimes things don't pan out for whatever reason.

Brad Scott and Chris it appears .

Dimma, Mini & sadly, now Yze have had JG a walk up start. Fit or not. Taranto, Hopper, Prestia & Ross (Dow if he stays.) is more than enough experience around any new 18 y.o. kids.

Jack is a role player. Won us some flags and a spoon.

Mini at WCE meant praying to my voodoo doll worked

Tomorrow he announces he is staying

congratulation Richmond

Yes mate, I requote myself with the answer to the question to avoid embarrassment. Sheesh.

What exactly does that gif signify, I'm a bit lost with that one.

if he was staying he would've taken our offer when it was tabled.
He had a bit of a look at that SA club, not much interest.
Mini as new coach ~ more likely goes this time.

the terrible twins.

 

[THE_GUN]

I heard it from his cousin , The tractor at the farm

get used to it guys

He is staying

Love the club and TigerImposter

 

[shaky]

He got that shoulder injury during the game and was never going to play the following week so he may have been instructed to leave it all out there. We don’t know , but we do know that he tried to leave whilst contracted and then came crawling back. It’s looking like history could repeat itself.

And if the club gave him full support to look at his options, does that make him disloyal?

IF is the operative word so it’s all hypothetical as you’re uncertain ? I’m not going through this again
