Free Agency Jack Graham - Heads to West Coast as FA

[Morro]

Well so far so good for Jack.

Has come over in really good shape. Won the 2km trial last year and also the beep test last week.

He isn't quick but hopefully he's over the niggles of the past few years and can help the kids around stoppages and with transit play.

Its those reasons that you went after him so hard and that our coaches held him in such high regard despite the low opinions of many fans IMO. You need guys that set the standards to a high level and lead by example. That's him. No star, but impeccable character and works as hard if not harder than anyone.

Ps. Not quick off the mark, but very fast once he gets going.

He's always been an excellent gut runner and extremely hard worker. Hope he does well for you guys, if nothing less he will be an excellent example and role model at the club.

He's a flag hero, his 2017 GF was pivotal and he famously played with a busted shoulder just to give us a rotation in a PF against Geelong in 2019. Will always wish him well.

If he stays fit he'll really help your midfield. great at repeat efforts, makes you better defensively, and improves the players around him. No star but might help your younger guys improve more quickly.

Yep. That is the plan.

I just hope he can play a couple of decent seasons, stay fit and help the rebuild.

Nice to read he has come over fit and isn't in the rehab group and is out there training. Definately looks like his endurance base is there and his best asset. He is certainly setting / raising that standard on the training track.

He is an amazing beast at repeat efforts. When the Tigers were flying Jack Graham continually got to contests and caused outnumbers. He should make your midfield stronger and really help Reid etc to be better players.

My only conerns are staying fit, and whether you are buying a sugar hit. He has a track record of injuries. And will he improve your short term performance whislt impeding the long term team? But then if he helps makes the young guys go to another level then he is worth it all.
