Prestia and Shedda missing so Graham and Bolton step up.
It’s been a great season for a number of our younger guys, who have been able to cover the missing A grade talent.
He’ll never be an A grade midfielder but you can see him being an important cog in the midfield group. Similar to Lambert - selfless, who does all the one percenters and defensive stuff allowing the big guns to strut their stuff.
Hope he stays

Prestia (& Astbury) is that far off we'd be deep in finals before he's ready to play. In the meantime Sheds IN, squeezes OUT Aarts/Markvov/Dow. Graham ain't going anywhere. Just needs to keep the shoulder strapping off

Loved the way he played against Essendon and then West Coast, really hoping he can keep it up over the next 7 weeks or so, he’s a very important player in our midfield when he’s up and about and we all know he lifts even more in finals, he really should be a 2x premiership player right now.
I really don’t want to see him traded, will be honest, I’ll be disappointed if he’s traded to anyone but a South Australian side, even then I’ll be disappointed.

He's still only 22 as well, plenty of development left in him, mids usually hit their prime at around 23-24.
Don't think he's even had a proper preseason in his career

Off the top of my head, tore his quad off the bone as a 17 year old heading into draft year, broke his ankle in preseason training in 2017 and shoulder reco in 2019.
On a seperate note he spotted up Nank lace out the other night against the Eagles. Ended up being a down field free kick but was an absolutely superb kick.

Wonder if the Crows would offer him Captain?
There was his first shoulder reconstruction at the end of the 2018 season as well, he carried that injury through to the end of the year, so that would line up with my recollection that he's never had a full preseason. Every single year he seems to get criticism from some when he has a slow start to the year, but once he gets his fitness up he's an immediate selection in the 22.
The Cows are going to be coming for him thats for sure
We must play Graham against the Cows and play him in an offensive role giving him ample possessions and chances to kick goals, There is a very distict chance that Sloan gets sent to tag Graham but we will need to block for him. Give cotch the game off if we need to.
Graham deserves a 5 year $800k deal from the Cows

ill be the first to admit i was doubtful on his game halfway through the season.
hes proved me wrong, has played outstanding since his return to the team.
a real bully mid, not flashy but hard as nails damian hardwick type character when he played.

Pick 1...
Slow doesn’t get the footy but would be a 2 x premiership player if not for injury. Best
they should
Has gone to another level over the past 2 weeks. Playing better footy than I thought him capable of. Has anyone noticed his shoulder strapping is now off? Was that last week? Can't be a coincidence he loses the tape and starts killing it.

Refreshing to see the comments on the RFC Twitter accounts Jack Graham appreciation post, not a lot of comments but most of them are sign him up please.
I really don’t want to see him leave Richmond, he’s such a good player at his best and he’s still so young.

He's a bit like Lambert, average at most things but due to their intensity at every contest, contest after contest they accrue over the game and overall are damaging. He is a mid who can rest forward and score. He is not a wingman as Pickett and MacIntosh are going so well and is not fast enough. In a full list of Martin, Cotchin, Prestia, Edwards, Lambert, Bolton, and a few young ones we need to see like Ross and RCD, the midfield spots are super competitive. Right now he is going very well.

If he kicks it we win

Is starting to play like how we thought he might after starring in 17 GF , stepped up a couple notches and is firming as a must keep
He was a key reason our midfield got on top in the last quarter against Freo. Him and Cotch got physical when they needed to.
Would rather trade Ross than this guy.

Ross is going to be a really good player though I think. I’d rather not lose either if I’m honest.
