Pick 53: Jack Graham

Graham had his first breakout game in the 2017 GF.

First full clean Pre Season since his being drafted - quads/shoulders surgeries.

Been an important defensive gear in the machine and is a real team (Richmond) man. Chimps understudy since his first day at Punt Road.

If he is progressing forward and ball hunting more that will be a bonus for the side.

Could 2021 be the year he goes up a gear or two.

Lets hope so.

Has fast acceleration, like Dusty.

Next, I’d like to see him take his on-field discourse to the debate room.

Graham and Bolton couldn't be more different as footballers.

Their pre-season showing were average, Bolton didn't seem that involved and Graham seemed to get caught most times he got hold of the ball. It just goes to show what February form is worth as an indicator.

Both these players look like genuine 'next generation' guns coming up to fill the void as the superstars retire. (based on a 1 game sample admittedly, but it beats the hell out of putting in a stinker)
 
This kid has made up for all those disastrous early picks we have butchered over the last 25 years.
He would be a top 3 in the draft if it was done today.

Agree and history shows you can’t really become a great team that wins premierships unless you score well in at least one or two drafts with some steals.
 
Hot last week not so hot today.

Aim up for next week lad!!

A couple of big weeks coming up and the Tigers will definitely need Fridgey to impact..
