Pick 53: Jack Graham
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date
Your season is shot if you have an interrupted pre-season. It’s a known fact in all sports.
You can’t keep putting your hand out for a pay cheque when as a midfielder you have little to no influence so far this year.
Needs to be dropped.

My whipping boy now. Dumb decisions poor skills and slow as you can be and still.be on a list. His kicking to advantage a team mate is hideous. Is there another role for him? As a third tier player he looked good but this year he is so far from being able to fill the vacancies our old stars will leave.
what's the issue? Unfit? Played out of position? Playing injured?
Looked like he could be captain material at one point

The issue is perhaps Graham was never really that good but when you are playing next to Cotchin, Martin, Prestia and Edwards in their prime you can get away with a lot of deficiencies. What he did have was a hunger to run and get to contests or provide a tackle. Has none of that now and is now entering his prime and should be leading the midfield group but instead is playing like an old man. Honestly looked older than Cotch tonight. Another MC blemish in the rush to bring him into the team from Round 1.
Looks fatter then Me.
He has always been tortoise slow but this year he looks Galapagos Tortoise slow.
Much improvement left? Not looking like it.
Conditioning an issue maybe but actually think JG is a big part of the problem given the current AFL format.
The game has shifted fast.
Not anywhere near an elite mid atm.

Could he keep a spot as a lock down tagger? Perhaps worth the experiment of sitting on Oliver next week as he offers very little offensively.
I coudn't understand the calls for him to be captain - he is always going to be a fringe player.
The coaching staff think an unfit Graham offers more than RCD or other players. And is in the 22 from round 1. Fair enough. Have a crack with the best 22 over the preseason. Good to select Ivan gibcus, Hugo, Dow and Ross aarts Parker and Graham. But the losses highlight problems with our play style.

Yes Get Graham to 'sit' on him.
Suffocation may be the only way of stopping him.
The way we're playing these first few weeks, we 'aint making finals any time soon. The back to the future game style the AFL has forced in has bypassed us big time n we need to spend the rest of this year just trying to learn it so we can be ready for next year.
