With that being said, might we play Jack on Nick Daicos? His physicality against Daicos would be very useful for us and his workrate and tank will allow him to follow him where he goes and his ability going the other way will test Daicos defensively. Hopefully we can burn him the other way.

Is he that fast? Haven't seen him live so I haven't noticed but doesn't look quick but is smart, in a similar vein to Pendlebury, looks quicker because he is a smart footballer.
Yeah Graham looks to be playing the 'connection' midfielder, working between the arcs like a centreman in the old days.
Lambert's role was more to roll into the middle and take Dustin's opponent defensively and to help with the set-up that would get us the spare back and still equalise at stoppage.
The role suits Graham to a tee.
Interesting that it looked like our wings were playing a more central role offensively. Pickett streaming through the guts with the ball.
Felt like a tweak to the ball movement plan
We needed Edwards this week to Butters Dacios in a tackle
Yep, we've definitely tweaked the way we are using the wings, I'd like to have a look from high up at the MCG to try and get a better feel for it.
If you watch the Pies, I actually think McRae is doing something similar with Daicos.
He runs forward and they cover for him with a wing or forward flanker. Elite coaching.
Ps. Jack Graham gives us two father sons players and they are amazing. Genuine Bash Brothers.
Posted above on the 17/03 after Carlton game, and Dimma said today in his press conference, noting Jack Graham's 100th and viewing his highlights "i don't think there is a better player in our footy club at delivering the ball inside 50"
, valuable player is Jack and under-rated outside the club and even by many on here.

Of all the great things JG has done so far in his career this was the best in 2019. Legendary.
He has two boys? Gold. Can just imagine them going head first at each other all day and munging pies for lunch and dinner
Great words from Jacky G....especially the last 30 seconds. I hope he becomes our next skipper.
