Ben Graham should play on for another year. He owes the cats because he has been overpaid for five years and should not use financial incentives to justify a move to the NFL.

Mate, he has not been overpaid if that is what the club agreed to pay him.
He is going to play NFL, and good luck to him.

It is not like the Colbert situation who walked out on us at the peak of his career. If he goes good luck to him if he stays good luck for us, but I hardly think he owes us anything after 200 games and being paid an average rate for top line players.
While not being a massive Graham Fan over his career, he has given great service for the years he was our key defender. People forget that he made his career as our #1 defender and it has only been the last 3 yrs that he has been moved to the hardest position on the ground to cover up the failures of the past coaching staff to use a key forward like David Mensch anyway. (Can I use Key forward and Mensch in the same sentence?)
People put the boot into Graham as he can be a bit inconsistent up forward but the fans jump on when he sinks on 65 out form the boundary. The only people I hear say that he owes the club is the OX and he is a **************** from Melbourne that has had various run ins with him.
He has been great sevant to your club and although u dont like it show the bloke some respect

As Mike Sheehan said "the worst best player in the comp"
He will be great at the american game. He will fit right in because he is used to getting 3 kicks a game!!!
p.s. jubjub I am a social club member and its amazing how many people bagged Benny for the last 5 years and now everybody seems to love him.

People (me included) only started to bag Graham when he went forward and was having trouble adjusting. He was a good defender and an average forward till probably the 2nd 1/2 of this year when he started to throw his body around and contest a bit more. People forget most of his career was as a key defender and to go to CHF (the hardest spot on the ground) takes some time to adjust. He was never our best player but all those who slagged him off for missing in action were also the first ones to cream themselves when he kicked a 65mtr left footer.
He owes us nothing

Just on Ben,my opinion is I dont think he was ever a superstar but more a handy player who could hurt a side with his kicking at certain times. Once sides stopped him running off HB using that to kick over lines he became IMO a very average defender.
Full credit to him for learning to play CHF however.
Great clubman, great servant, now its BBBBBBB Benny and the Jets.
Benny owes the cats little. His big payments were worthy considering he was expected to play in undersized poor teams and shoulder big responsibilities. He did all this and was the kicking boy by all supporters.
His coach ripped him of the captains title. Like all cats supporters, undervalued him and was obvious in his luke warm respect for him as a player and person.
After coping it for years from supporters at Kardinia Park, why would he stay?

That`s a non truth , hop onto the richmond board and see if you can find anyone "crying" over Ottens` departure .rizzo said:
For the people that think Ben Graham was an over paid hack , history just might show you have replaced him with another one , we`ll have to see.
Point is , if you had the chance to earn 250 k a year or a million a year (American), what are you going to do ?
