Can this be turned into a table?​

 

[Drofder]

Thought he was ok today. Not a great start but got better the further the game went. Did a reasonable job on Billings who didn’t have that much of an effect.

 

[Grrr]

Was good today. He is not classy but his gut running is now up to the level required for such a player, you can't expect that from an 19 year old. Not sure he is injury free best 22, but he is very close.

 

[TigerImposter]

Best 22 by a mile.

are u related to him or something

 

[Bojangles17]

Was a good game from jack today , I have no problem with a performance like that , what was it 18p a goal 9 tackles , good day at the office

 

[Mr Magic]

Yeah I thought he was in our best to!!

 

[TJASTA]

Hey look. I was right. Again.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Good to see him in form. We don’t have enough defensive mids on the list imo.
You know he’s going to be working just as hard when the opposition has the ball

 

[Zoom]

He averages 7.3 tackles a game. I believe that’s the second highest in the AFL, only second to Elliot Yeo who averages 7.8.

Awesome game by that is.
Man he is a lump of a lad.

 

[Old M8]

Straight out for Ross once he’s fit.

 

[TigerImposter]

Straight out for Ross once he’s fit.

Caddy goes out for Ross as he’s slow as treacle and can’t play midfield . We need tough inside mids who can win the footy, otherwise teams like Geelong and Collingwood will chew us up again. Graham is a needed player.

See I agree with you on Graham.

He’s the one that’s going to do the bloody hard and dirty work his whole career that you don’t waste on talent like Jack Ross who would be completely wasted if he only did what graham does.

Both will be required and most probably in our best 22 by the end of their respective careers.

That’s the beauty of footy where people see some players differently and can have a discussion over their differences, yet they can agree on others. Probably the major social interaction you get from going to games as well as now on social media.
Imagine if we all thought alike?

I agree we need tough inside miss who win the footy, but that’s not Graham. 18 touches for him is good, but with his limitations he needs to average 25, and he’s never exceeded 24 in his career.

Caddy out for Riewoldt imo.

Yes , but it’s not always about possessions in this game . He’s our genuine tackling machine and actually the only bloke who consistently does it well. He hurts teams defensively and his only knock atm is he’s got to do it more offensively. I think this will come with time as he builds up his engine and learns the role .
Dan Jackson took a few years to learn the role and won a best and fairest out of it , so we need to do the same with Graham. We need a good old fashioned hard nut stopper bc I’m sick of the top midfielders waltzing around and tearing us to bits. IMO JG is the most suitable guy on the list with age on his side.

If Graham averaged 25 possessions and played his defensive role he'd be in line for AA. That's a very high bar you're setting.

Dan Jackson is probably a good comparison. Nobody had much time for him, yet he won a B & F. No class, but all heart. Wish Graham was a tad quicker. Could he replace Ellis on a wing down the track?

The reality is the 6-6-6 rule would suit him, but I think with JG it’s more about
the opponent he’s expected to pick up on the day and stop. A bit like how Sloane was carving up Prestia in the 1Q of the GF and then JG went to work on him. I really think he’s a guy that is not suited by locking into a position, but thrives more on doing a job on someone.

Yes he can do the lock down thing, but it might be underselling him perhaps. With his hardness and running ability, and being pretty clean, he could be a Gaff type winger. That's a stretch perhaps, but he is still so young.
