Pick 53: Jack Graham

[DavidSSS]

Yes, exactly. They will work out what type of tape and strapping technique provide him with the best support and away he will go.

Thanks, I sort of understood that as I do similar things with strapping and braces because of tendonitis in both wrists and one finger which is hard to bend at the moment. You can't fix tendonitis but you can manage it this way so I would think you could manage a shoulder injury to the point where Graham can do most things and it doesn't cause discomfort most of the time. Management of this sort of condition is possible.

He's a keeper IMO.

In the last 2 years Graham has had 23 frees for and 49 against. Seems a bit lop-sided.

The aggressive nature of his defensive game , its going to happen with his role

We could pay off the umpires

I like your thinking.
Did you use to be on the Carlton board of directors?

 

[zgod]

A beast.
The fact he had more pressure acts than the entire geelong team with a *smile* shoulder speaks volumes.
Thought he was moving well in the 2nd half of this year. Streamed through the centre on many occasions.

It world be cheaper to do what Collingwood does and invite the umpires down to umpire their intra club hit outs, that way everyone gets all matey with lots of bum slapping in the shower afterwards.

I thought we did that already.

agree Graham is captain material

Ah the problem must be that Dusty is running around the intra club games calling all the umpires f***ing flogs, which of course, they are!

Will need to adjust his game. Will need to focus more on getting the ball and being tackled a bit more instead of the one doing the tackling. Can still apply the high level of pressure that he does but just needs to be more careful and resist the lunging tackle that can hurt his shoulders.

 

[Tigertool]

Should have come back through the VFL.

 

[craig]

Yeah was short of touch tonight will be better for it but against the hard running Skunks I think Jacky R might be an option next week in the clinches to slow up Pendles, De Goey and Adams.

 

[UKTiger]

Very rusty after a limited preseason but to be expected.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Underdone.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Save him for finals.

 

[TigerForce]

Good for the run.

 

[St Kevin]

Underdone.

I think the coaching staff have used this game to get Graham and Nankervis match fitness. Will be better for the run.

Rusty sure and under done they took a gamble playing him he wouldnt have played had Bash been fit.

Dont know if id play him against the Maggots next week though.

Will be a toss up between he and Ross for mine.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Underdone.

Very under done.

 

[caesar]

rewarded for his sacrifice in prelim against Geelong now needs to earn his stripes, ordinary game

 

[Tigermad2005]

Did ok in our last practice match.

 

[Ghost of 29]

Love Graham but his shoulder is not right. Get Ross in
