Player Watch #34: Jack Graham - Part 2

[Tomnat Tigers]

Hopefully we unleash him this year and give him a more attacking role. We have seen glimpses of it a couple of times

This is the main reason he doesn't find much of the ball. He doesn't spend as much time on the ground as our other mids and when he is out there he is being told to constantly harass the opposition. He forces a lot of turnovers on the back of his pressure which is just as important as him finding the ball. All the evidence from his juniors and VFL games suggest he doesn't have any issues finding the ball.

 

[Power Play]

Jack should not have played in the Gold Coast game this year.

That game dropped his crowd average by over 2000.

Cumulative crowd = 1,450,947

That's gotta be more than Lynch?

Would Lynch of ever played in front on 60K?

 

[Thrasher97]

Will be a good player, easy to forget he's only 20, will be 21 next year. Plenty of upside

needs to lift, poor finals performances.

Possibly however I fear more that he lacks a yard , rarely does he hit the ball at pace. Cotch ain’t quick , watch him closely , he’s never still and attacks the footy and contest at full pelt. If jack is to become a genuine senior player , he needs to play a lot more like cotch

Clearly hindered by his shoulder.

Clearly hindered by his shoulder.

You are correct of course, but no one complained when he was selected, and pre injury his form was patchy and just fair and of course Cooper Cronk says a big hi.

Not quite
Lynch has played in front of 2,404,185 - at an average of 18,353
The highest crowd he's played in front of is 51,774

Jack has played in front of more than 51,774 14 times out of 23 games played
He has played in front of less than Tom's average once, against GC this year (and even then it was only 200 less).

Mids generally break out in their 3rd year. If this guy does, and becomes a clearance gun like he was as a junior, it’ll go a long way to solving our clearance issues. Need him to step up next year

 

[Muddiemoose]

Get Towner to lean up over the pre season and take over Jacks defensive mid role and unleash Graham to a more attacking role or even like a 50 50 split similar to what Conca played this year

Towner is to slow to play mid

He'll be fine. Plenty of upside

Love Jackie boy Graham. Will be a star.

The bloke is our number one pressure act player. He’s about to go into year 3.

Can’t fault his pressure or tackling at all, he’s a beast at the defensive side of things. Just need him to start getting more of the footy, to be a 20-25 touches a week player

Not going to be the same Jacky boy with a reco shoulder...
