Player Watch #34: Jack Graham - Part 2

[Wacko23Jacko]

Is he accumulating enough yet?

 

[Cdog71]

He chased a ball outve the pack infront of me on the members wing and crashed into that Walsh kid
Sent him flyin

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

What a fantastic game .... never gives up, great hunger

 

[ForeverHardcore]

I tip my hat
The fridge was great tonight
200 game bull
Just wish he was slightly taller
Him and Ross can be the bashem brothers

 

[Mr Magic]

What a fantastic game .... never gives up, great hunger

Lot more composed than some others.

I remember when he kicked those goals in the GF.

This is a guy that keeps his head when the pressure is on!!!

 

[Zoom]

I have always been a massive critic. He keeps proving me wrong. Good lad.

 

[Infamy]

Made a few of you look pretty stupid tonight

 

[joelsyt]

Jack Graham was very good tonight. Hope we're going to see him step it up again this year.

I'm a fan and am looking forward to him reaching his full potential.

 

[tropicaltiger]

great game by jackie boy, i had my doubts....not anymore, fantastic effort on limited pre season.

 

[tony__montana]

Thats why some of us wanted to see him off the leash - kids a natural ball hunter! So bloody strong as well, saw him go for the ball, cripps who is a monster tried to move him and he went straight through the bump like he wasnt touched

 

[Dr Tigris]

Very nice game. On the edge of stepping it up to top grade. If he does step up that level we are a much better side. And right now we need that

 

[Drofder]

At least you're honest. Few others were saying this young kid wasn't up to it. Wasn't doing enough etc. Unreal. Will be a very good player for a long time. Love him in those centre bounces.

 

[Grrr]

Good to see him get off the leash. We lacked running power at times tonight but he did it all night. Has a bit of a Grigg up and under long kick, something to work on.

Happy for Jack to see him start the season like that , looking far more like a long term senior player. Reckon he’s dropped a couple of kegs , looked lighter on his feet

He has. Had a massive pre season. Been flying at training. That's why I picked him in that biggest improver thread. Kid is a pup, but a beast. Will get better and better. Him, Ross and RCD project well as contested-clearance beasts for years to come.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Just hope his shoulder stays good!

LOL … made no one look stupid.
For the record, I am a big fan of jack but the criticisms - most of them constructive - last year were valid. He didn't do enough.
Last night he was great - but that's one from one. Means nothing if he comes out and doesn't perform against the Pies and we lose.
I would have thought after years of Ty Vickery, Ben Griffiths, Ben Lennon, Corey Ellis and Connor Menadue turning the corner with one good performance us fans would shy away from hailing blokes after ONE game.
He proved no one wrong or a fool until he does it again and again! And I think he can.

 

[blaisee]

A Pleasant surprise

The last 2 games he has started getting 20 plus possessions.

He keeps doing that we will be very hard to beat

Keep going Jack

Ouch. I was definitely on the Ty Vickery bandwagon. It took a while before I fully took on board that he was lazy and the occasional A grade performances weren't a sign of what could be, but symptomatic of A grade talent that just occasionally got fired up for a little while.

I reckon Jack is very different. He's such a competitive beast. He's a leader and will get the best out of himself.

 

[mopsy]

Jack Graham had a good jlt2 and followed that up with a good round 1 game.

He has not done anything exceptional in either game but has performed at the required level with good solid performances.the trick is for him now to continue performing at the level.

How much better is it when he wins a bit of contested ball wwins a few clearances gets an adequate amount of ball but still provides a good defeensive set to his game.
Imo anything less than what he gave is not acceptable not foe an inside mid.

 

[DontArgue4]

lol at those who said he couldnt accumulate

please find vision and make a gif Hate

 

[captain cotch 9]

I rekon Jack Ross's preformance in JLT 1 gave Graham a kick up the arse

 

[Bojangles17]

Played last night with that premiership confidence I knew he had that I thought he’d lost

 

[Dr Tigris]

They've taken the leash off him. Jack Graham will be a damn good mid - that is what I reckon
