List Mgmt. Welcome Jack Graham (Unrestricted Free Agent)

[sregit]

If we can send this guy to Dubai and get his soft tissue problems sorted out.
He will be great for our team as a solid role player that will help protect the kids.

Graham’s injuries are exaggerated. Most injuries he’s suffered were bad corks, rib and shoulder, that’s because he’s warrior and puts his body on the line. He’s an honest footballer. Richmond supporters have been looking for scapegoats for our demise. Graham is one because he has not been the star a lot of supporters thought he maybe earlier in his career.

A hard worker who will run all day.

 

[WCEswift]

Ill back in the S and C coaches who managed to keep yeo n gov out there to keep graham going

 

[TY24]

A hard worker who will run all day.

 

[Farang83150]

Welcome.
Here's hoping our good run with SA blokes continues.

 

[THE_GUN]

This was planned years ago and they made sure the colour were right

 

[omgfridge]

Happy to cop the slack later if he turns out alright but can't stand this pick.

He is not a defensive mid, people saying this haven't watched him play.

He is a slow plodder and an non accumulator older (albeit more successful) Deven Robertson

. Yes he fits an age bill but I hope he is in the WAFL asap. 4 years is so dumb. He will play next year at half forward and watch flankers sprint past him while he applies no pressure is my prediction.

 

[boondy]

Runs both ways, tackles, big body and for the type of layer he is, 20 touches is enough.

Instantly makes our team better.

I was trying to make a pun about " honest players we don't have many of" . I was portraying someone who had been jilted because of being lied to too many times . My humour isn't always good ( true)

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Hmm. Did we end up with the correct Jack today?

Perhaps he and Darling can get in the ring and have a Jack-Off.

This is the trade period

Jack Ough is available at the draft

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Four years seems like a long deal for someone we might not even use in a year or two.

Why would we not use in a year or 2! In a year or 2 where do you think the rebuild will be? We aren't playing finals that's for sure. Even after this trade period there will still be 4-6 players we will recycle next year.

on SEN Vic this morning with Tom Morris & Gary Lyon re Graham, along the lines of:

"I've never seen a player push himself to the limit more than Jack."

"More than happy to do what he can for the team, its never about Jack."

"It wont take long for the players to fall in love with him"

"There a reason he was tipped to be the next Richmond captain two years ago"

 

[DeckedOut20]

Happy to cop the slack later if he turns out alright but can't stand this pick.

He is not a defensive mid, people saying this haven't watched him play.

He is a slow plodder and an non accumulator older (albeit more successful) Deven Robertson. Yes he fits an age bill but I hope he is in the WAFL asap. 4 years is so dumb. He will play next year at half forward and watch flankers sprint past him while he applies no pressure is my prediction.

Settle down Chief, it's not that bad.

If you want to see some stats that he would have contributed to our team, had he played for us this year, refer to a post I made in the contracts chat (attached below). Some of those stats indicate he is a defensive midfielder, such as 3rd for tackles & 4th for pressure acts.

He can play footy, is selfless, has great leadership qualities, premiership experience and pushes to get the best out of himself. Perfect for our list, with 20 odd kids under 20 years of age.

Further to that and most importantly, he cost nothing, other than salary cap space, which we have to pay a minimum anyway.

Instead of paying Zane Trew to run around, we upgrade him to Jack Graham and pay a little more cash each month.

With Baker and Graham all but locked in, I had a quick look at a few key stats to see what they bring to the table and where they would have stacked up in our side this year.

Baker:

• 4th for PR - every player above him 29 or older.
• 6th Coaches votes
• 5th Disposals, 4th Contested Pos, 4th Ground Ball Gets, 8th Hard Ball gets.
• 3rd Inside 50's
• 6th Metres Gained.
• 4th Turnovers - TK 1st, Yeo 2nd & Duggan 3rd.
• 7th Centre Bounce Attendance, 5th Clearances.
• 6th Tackles, 2nd Pressure Acts.
• 6th Goals, 2nd Score Involvement, 5th Score Launch.

Graham:

• 11th for Player Ratings - Only two players younger than him above him, Reid 6th & Ginbey 9th.
• 7th Disposals, 8th Contested Possessions, 6th Ground Ball Gets, 11th Hard Ball Gets.
• 9th Inside 50's, 9th Score Involvements.
• 6th Centre Bounce Attendance, 6th Clearances.
• 3rd tackles, 4th Pressure Acts.

Stop shitting your pants.

What’s the delay with the compo and WCE welcome announcement on this one? AFL trying to fudge the compensation pick again?

 

[Keys]

What’s the delay with the compo and WCE welcome announcement on this one? AFL trying to fudge the compensation pick again?

Official paperwork hasn’t been lodged yet - Richmond announced Graham advised them of his intention to move to West Coast as a FA but that’s all so far

Assume it gets lodged today at some stage then the AFL will work out the compo after that. Took a couple of hours for the ones on Friday to be announced

 

[HoneyBadger35]

What’s the delay with the compo and WCE welcome announcement on this one? AFL trying to fudge the compensation pick again?

Possibly trying to work with everyone to secure a compo pick as part of Baker deal?

Or probably just not formally lodged yet.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

The big question is if a good compo pick will actually reduce the price for Baker.
I suppose only if we negotiated this to be involved in the trade with Richmond.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

I was trying to make a pun about " honest players we don't have many of" . I was portraying someone who had been jilted because of being lied to too many times . My humour isn't always good ( true)

Oh ok, now we are getting inside thoughts too?

This is gonna be some kinda looooooooong ass offseason

Already our best Jack
