Player Watch #34: Jack Graham

[Alfar]

Gee Richo, Deledio and Newman must be filthy with Graham. It only took them most of their careers to reach some sort of measurable success and here is this young bloke from pick 56 in the draft playing in a winning final by his 3rd game and playing in a Grand Final by game 5.

How good of a start is that to a football career? This kid is going to look at the Rising Star competitors next season and laugh because none of them has had the baptism by fire this bloke has had.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

155-51.
122-81. (277-132 or 138.5 vs 66.)
91-40. (368-172 or 122.66 vs 57.33.)
103-67 (471-239 or 117.75 vs 59.75.)

Must think this is easy.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Fridge's pressure around the ball was outstanding again. He also got involved in more transitions from the back line so is really finding his feet now in AFL.
14 possessions @76.3%, 5 tackles and had the lowest game time in the team 64%.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

He'd be thinking this finals caper isn't too hard.

Still too easy he's thinking.

 

[cairo tiger]

this kid is a revelation. great recruiting.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Jack is going to be much better next year with a full preseason. A good chance for Rising Star Award.

 

[RichoLedio]

Great composure, really has cemented his place in the side I reckon

 

[Joey longshadow]

I love this guy
Still can't believe we got him with a pick in the 50's
Is going to be a beast in the years to come
This getting stuff right thingy that we do now..... I like it... More please

 

[Moshie The Mook]

Pick 53 2016. That is all.

Actually no it's not. Pick 72 2016 is playing today, and could be running around in our back line by 2019.

Don't even worry about early picks. Just need a sniff of the third round, and every one goes home in a limousine.

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Thank you Geelong for your generosity

 

[SplintWhisky]

**** I hope this kid doesnt want to go back to the shithole of Adelaide. Him and Floss will make a great captain duo

 

[tigerz18]

I said earlier he would win the norm smitb this year and will pop 5 on him. He adds sooo much in and under pressure

[DontArgue4]

honestly all you can say is wow with this kid

in the second half when we got our run on, how many clean front and centre pick ups and dish offs did he have?

hes phenomenal for a 4 gamer, gonna be a star

 

[Roachy8]

After the weekend he will have played 5 games.... including 3 finals
Pretty special start to a career!

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Only need to play 4 games to play in a grand final.

Wish I played footy.

How unfair footy sometimes is. Awesome that hes done so well, but you look at all the past Richmond greats that had less finals success than a 5 gamer.

I'm so glad we waited until R22 to bring JG out, had 30 weeks of pre-season and looks sturdy despite injury worries at the start of his AFL career.

Feels like the Saviour is our physio or sports science department at the moment - cures all ills with his touch, freakish how this club is going with injury.

If it continues into next year someone is going to offer our fitness department massive pay rises! Hope we're prepared for that.
