Player Watch #34: Jack Graham - Part 2

[Nobby]

Was solid. Looks like a slow improver but will be pretty good in a couple of years

Why hasn’t he won a 2nd flag yet?!?!?
Dud delist!!

Jks I love how he goes about it. Clearly he is given a role to be a tackling machine and does it well. Yes he has to improve a few things but who doesn’t.

Don't forget he's coming off shoulder surgery in the preseason, if he keeps building, his second half of the season should be what we expected after his first 5 games.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Just think of it this way , Somebody has to do what he is doing and if Graham was not doing it ................. who would

This. Yes it would be nice for him to find more of the ball and use it more effectively when he does get it but in between all of that he is running himself into the ground and doing the team things. I see no reason why we would drop him with the style of football we play.

 

[Morro]

I like Jack Graham but im
Sick of hearing how much he tackles.

Ross came in on debut and showed a much better balance of defense and attack.

Graham could use a spell in the twos for his confidence.

He just seems a step off the pace to me.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Really suprised, I thought he was one of our better players, especially in the first half. Think of his age, games played, who would would have played on against Port. Jesus Christ. He was basically the starting mid against Port who have a lot of big bodied midfielders.

I thought he was great, just my view.

 

[sante]

His expectations from us are too high after his start to his career. He’s only a kid in his 3rd year and has had plenty of injury troubles

 

[Power Play]

Cumulative crowd = 1,658,223
Average crowd = 61,416

Saturday was Jack's first ever win in South Australia.

Jack Graham, that is.

 

[Mr Magic]

I thought Jack was handy on the weekend. Makes our team far more imposing. Far from our worst IMO, I can't see him being dropped to be honest, he just offers too much especially with his composure under pressure

 

[Dr Awkward]

Honestly think he has been really sub standard this year. His disposal is woeful. He is 6th in the competition in clangers, all of the other players in the top 10 are ones that get a lot more of the ball and do damage offensively. Has some great attributes but hurting the team atm in my opinion.

 

[tunksy]

Vfl has a bye this week already. If he has indeed hurt his shoulder he may miss

 

[TJASTA]

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my weekend is ruined.

 

[Old M8]

Right decision. Has not been good enough of late.

 

[joelsyt]

I will be melting profusely if we lose this weekend, I will be blaming the selection committee for omitting Graham.

If we lose this will be my weekend to lose my s**t.

 

[banana_bus]

Once again dropped without an opportunity to play VFL. Remember last time Dimma dropped him?

Lets hope this doesnt ruin Easter.

let the melt flow through you

 

[joelsyt]

let the melt flow through you

I don’t melt often, so I’m locking this one in if we lose.

 

[Old M8]

Don’t worry guys. I doubt we will miss his 14 touches, lack of run, poor disposal, trampoline hands and his gigantic rubber ****.

Ross can provide defensive pressure with offensive power too.

Cotchin still to come back so Graham could be 2 spots back in the queue.

 

[Roksman]

He's a 20 year old who is one dimensional. Let's not overreact that he's the 2nd coming.

If we're honest, he's been average for over a year now but we're blinded by the 2017 GF.

Needs to rediscover how to win some ball - he doesn't need to get 30 touches, but you can't hold your place just because you tackle.

Look at Bakers kick to Lynch against Port in the 4th quarter, precision. Compare that to Graham's kick to Lambert which Drew intercepted. Fact of the matter is Graham not only can't find it, he doesn't use it well either. A stint in the VFL is warranted.

Still rate him though.

 

[TigerImposter]

Relax dudes he’s being rested and a good time so he can go home for Easter.
He’s a needed player, but unfortunately for him his shoulder is troublesome.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

We would be melting worse if Ross was dropped instead of Graham.

[Tigers_fan24]

Not sold on him. As others have said, he’s too slow and can’t find the footy. And was heavily outplayed by Ross. Needs to find some form or else will struggle to make it back in.

 

[Bojangles17]

Needs to play every game like r1 , not 2/3 or less of that level . Have plenty of emerging talent on list , no room for passengers . Work on your game jack , hope to cya back in top form

 

[Power Play]

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my weekend is ruined.

At least his crowd average won't drop for a 3rd consecutive week.

exactly. also gives us a fresh mid to bring in for the Melbourne game if required
