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

[captain blood 17]

Sooooo, are we happy he's gone and off the books because some board experts thought he was a clogger anyway, or are we pissed off as the same experts who said he was no good, but now are mashing the keyboards because they now feel we got ripped off?

Everybody thinks 42 is fair for Graham.

The problem is the other compos like Battle. If their compo was 35-45 as well nobody would give a shit. They are all spuds.

First of why don't you tell us if you wanted him to stay or go! Personally I wanted him to stay but after watching last season I couldn't care less. As for what we got was fair who knows we tried hard to do better but we failed they didn't bite. If you ask me for the contract on offer a fair pick would have been around 30.

We got rid of fridge and gave his $500k a year to Balta

Good job Blair

Thats a win if you ask me

JGTW moves like a hibernating snail but he’s worth better compo than battle. Just consider his 2017 form

5 of the best games you’ll ever see my friend. Just pointing out the ridiculousness of attempting to overvalue the likes of nose jazzlenka based on past seasons

We was injured most of the year with an ankle issue, finally strung some games together in June/July in the VFL, showed enough to get a call up in the seniors and ended up one of the best on ground in the GF.

Yep those harder grounds over West are going to smash up what's left of Grahams functioning legs.

Grahams best footy has been played already.

His body is a fair few years older than his age.

I was probably more in the keep camp, but wasn't tossing the toys out of the cot if he went. There were certainly more anti Richmond sentiments and Graham sentiments in this thread by supposed supporters than me.

 

[THE THIN MAN]

I look at it this way, 'he had his moment in the sun and he has moved on'.

There is nothing wrong with that, happy trails to where ever they may lead him.

Players come, players go, some are in the sun and burn brighter than others but in the end they all move on.

Kane McAuliffe really will step into his role this year

this is correct and hits it
regardless of the compo we received,we moved Graham at the correct time
he will be a whipping boy at W.C inside a year or two.

 

[THE_GUN]

Im happy that we got his $500k off the books and that money was used to sign Balta up for 7 years

I know but isn't it the world we live in now? One thing that is left for us is Respect but that has gone out the window as no one respects ones thoughts especially in a sports forum where supposably sport is meant to do wonders for our health lol. Glad we agree on Jack.

A west coast fan YouTuber has his own channel and he did his best 23 for the Egirls and he had graham on the bench

I liked Graham, decent player when fit and always gave his all.
That said I wanted him to go as we were too slow in the midfield with him, Taranto and Hopper.
That also said, yes I'm annoyed we got shafted with the compo, but wasn't at all surprised.
I hope for his sake Jack can get his body right and get a good run, just hope it isn't when he plays us, shutting down Tarranto while kicking 3 2017 style.

That's where he will be by end of the game when he inevitably gets hurt so cut out the middle man and start him there

**** I'm excited to see him next year. Did some special things in the VFL for a first year.

Worth putting a few bucks on him when the rising star market is released.
