Pick 53: Jack Graham

[Smoking Aces]

I thought he had a very good game. Shifted momentum for us and stopped Carlton numerous times.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Probably should have kicked one of those early goals but his defensive pressure especially i50 was fantastic. Fridge works so hard for his money. Great game overall.

Same, thought he was pretty good but should have nailed his first shot.

Person I was with tonight calls him 'the butcher'. Saw he had a decent clanger count but I'm a fan.

Highest tackle count on the ground, just stuck em

Jack Graham that is…

Nank had 11 tackles. JG had 9. But I take your point. He did well apart from a couple of missed kicks which he normally so good at

 

[bugsy]

Amazing game, all things considered.

Plenty of hype about our older troops and newest recruits but JackG is still a crucial element of our overall mids makeup.

 

[Merveille]

What a Tiger

 

[AngryAnt]

He won't be dropped. Amazing defensive effort last night, execution scratchy but he'll be better for the run.

 

[spook]

Another very good game. Enjoying batting down the order with the two new boys in the side.

Is he playing the Lambert role?

Hard to tell not being at the ground. @The Big Richo was there and seems to think so.

Yep, he's definitely starting at half forward and then working up the ground.

My calling it the Lambert role is a bit lazy because it's not really that, but he's definitely playing midfield after starting forward.

 

[tigerman]

Is playing very well, plays his 100th game for the Tiges against the Pies this week

Properly both SA clubs worse Draft mistake.
Leader. Top footballer

So is it more a +1 midfielder?

Maybe its because Lambert was so good and many times roved the drop at full forward, but it felt like the Lambert role was dual mid/forward.

Whereas Graham has previously played the hlaf forward into +1 mid, essentially providing defensive cover on Dusty.

I'm unsure if its the same role or variations on a winning theme?

 

[zgod]

He has been one of my biggest surprises so far this year.
with Hopper and Taranto coming over I thought he would struggle but he has been brilliant.
Sure the fwds are loving his laser's into the fwd line

great to see him at his best. Very damaging. Maybe learning his role from last year? if so, then Cumberland needs more time to develop.

 

[tigerman]

Yes, especially with a far from ideal pre-season, it takes a good player to do what he has been able to do.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Going to be very important against the Pies. We've got to break up their ball movement.
