[rowlingsdevsqd]

when the team is poor he looks poor.

Yep, name more than a handful who didn’t look poor though

If Whitfield Cogs and Kelly are surrounding him, where are the other 2 teammates to help him out. 3 on 1 is a bit of a stretch for anyone

Whitfield, Cogs, Kelly, Tarantno are pretty dam good players too just quietly

 

[Grrr]

huh. what, disastrous first half, ok 2nd half.

okay you are probably closer to it with ok that very good. Just kept going which is something.

 

[Wooden Robot]

oh not this s**t.

He is an AFL coach, he has an idea.

Was a poor game from Graham, but lets remember he is still a young player. Too many people expect him to have the consistency of a 200 gamer. Maybe it's because he looks 30?

Problem is - as many have pointed out - he's slow and one dimensional.
Lap it up, this is as good as it gets.
As his body matures more and he gets bigger (if possible), he ain't getting quicker.

 

[THE_GUN]

There are about 10 players before we should get to Jack Graham

 

[DustinsGuns]

Graham looks heavy to me. Need to lose some wait and gain some speed.

AFL just doesn’t have room for slow players with average skills no matter how good of pressurenplayers they are

 

[Daka]

He has good endurance but geez he is slow you guys are right he always see him running behind players trying catch opposition it's probably why he fumbles so much he is cooked by the time he gets to another contests, Our midfield is really thin so he will be back in the team at some point but dropping him wouldn't be the worst idea.

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

seriously what's happened to this GF hero ? no he ain't quick...but Tom Mitchell ain't quick either...

what with the fumbles, drop marks, miskicks....who's devising hand/feet/eye coordination sharpening exercises there...whatever you're doing...it's a disaster so far (tbf, not just JG but seems the whole team has got the fumble attack big time).

 

[Sir_Loin]

what is he - a mid 50s pick? He's performing where you think he would in his third year.

 

[theflea]

It appears to me that he is dead set knackered with all the running he is doing, so when he gets near the ball he is stuffed.

 

[tunksy]

Lot of responsibility falls on his shoulders now Martin and cotchin will be missing. See ball get ball time.

If we have it, they don't.

Only if he hadn't been talked up by all and sundry as a differencemaker and untouchable.

 

[sportshow]

We really need this kid for at least the 2-3 weeks in Cotch and Dusty’s absence.


And needs friends to mind you!

 

[Sir_Loin]

I have faith he'll be a long term player for us. Just needs time.

 

[parmy2balmey]

jack graham yeah but seeing cotchin standing on a wing at the centre bounce only to have the ball end up 60m away from him within seconds of the bounce is just the stupidest s**t I have ever seen in my life

 

[TigerImposter]

With true leaders such as Rance and Jack missing we lack on field leadership across the the park. There are so many undisciplined players out there that stoppers like Graham just can’t put out all of the spot fires. People on here isolating JG to certain opposition goals are really being ignorant as Graham can’t stop alll four gun midfielders on his own bc he’s constantly caught out in four minds . The disappointments were Cotchin and Martin as they were both soundly beaten, but they just can’t do it every week for us. Graham is still under 30 games of AFL footy and like Garthwaite both should not be criticised considering there were more senior players out there who thought a practice match was being played.
Ellis Markov Butler Castagna Martin and Cotchin were all poor on the day which put our Team on the back foot all day.
Drop Graham and you will get the Port game of last year all over again. We’re carying injuries as well as some serious unskilled bludgers atm , yet KDH continues to reward them. The team is undisciplined from the top atm and it’s showing on the field. I hadn’t seen a Tiger in a teapot stance for two years until this year , which shows we didn’t do the hard yards over Summer and probably a cause to all our injury woes.

 

[Grrr]

Talk of dropping Graham right now is madness. As some have stated he is at least a pressure player, of which we have precious few right now. That does not mean however that I think he will necessarily be there at the end of the year. Reckon a few others might leap frog him.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Is jack our tagger? We seem to be the only team who doesn’t tag and we get punished every game

[cairo tiger]

played a shiocker on weekend but overal has been good. kep for 2 more weeks. still rossy will play.

 

[captain cotch 9]

I think the best game he played was last year against Freo when Cotch was out.
IMO Graham goes into play Cotchs role and Ross comes in to play Grahams role.

RCD = Dusty

 

[Sol23]

I’ve said from day one he’s one dimensional and lacks any pace. Some saying he will captain the club in the future is laughable. I haven’t seen him play a descent game since the gf

 

[Tforce]

Played a shocker last week. Will be a valuable player going forward.
