Seems a bit vanilla
So is Trent Cotchin … im calling it early Will Martyn future captain.
I just don’t think Graham, Ross and Martyn will ever fit into the same team. That’s a very Norf Melbourne type midfield set up.Never understood why people think Vanilla is bad? It’s a great flavour.
And when you mix it with Oreos or chocolate topping etc... it’s amazing. Much like Lambert and Graham mixed with Jack and Dusty.
If Martyn spends the next 12 years being the vanilla to Stack/RCD/Bolton’s oreo/chocolate we should be stoked.
Vanilla is never something I’ve associated with Cotch. The guy takes speccies over Marc Murphy all the time, kicks goals lying on the ground against the swans, 360 spin left foot dagger goals in finals and destroys Mummy, Shiel and Stanley.
I assume you mean because of pace? Jack Ross is a sub 3sec 20m. He is super quick.I just don’t think Graham, Ross and Martyn will ever fit into the same team. That’s a very Norf Melbourne type midfield set up.
An ideal midfield has a variety of player types. I think Ross, Graham and Martyn are all too similar. Reminds me of B. Crouch/M. Crouch/Sloane or Cunnington/Ziebell/Anderson. It’s very workman like and one dimensional. None of them really have a point of difference in there. This criticism doesn’t apply to guys like RCD, Dow, Stack, Bolton, etc. because they have tricks and versatility. Obviously you need some grunt to balance and compliment your athletic flairy types, but carrying all three might be a bit much.I assume you mean because of pace? Jack Ross is a sub 3sec 20m. He is super quick.
Graham is an endurance beast and will be Lambert mkII. He already provides a lot to the team.
Martyn who knows, has a long way to go.
But you’re also ignoring Stack and Bolton who both played in the square this year and can provide pace and tricks. RCDs VFL granny was pretty special too and could be a real bulldozer in the midfield, plus Dow this year looks incredibly agile around the stoppages.
We have plenty of guys around to compliment each other moving forward, this isn’t a Norf midfield of the same three blokes.

You got stone cold, right, there! Bit of a steely edge in the kid under that cool manner!Cotchin 2.0. Stone cold. Future premiership captain. Norm Smith. AA. Brownlow medallist. Gary Ayres medallist.
Just hope he can improve on those accolades in his second year.

Agree with the Ross part, but Graham like Cotchin... Brownlow medalist, AA, Players best, Dual Premiership Capt.The Ross/Selwood comparison is pretty sharp I reckon. I don't know if anyone ever put together a Ross highlight clip but pre-injury the guy was unbelievably composed with the footy and made all the right decisions as well as showing a rare cleanliness at ground level. You build a midfield around a Ross type.
Graham is more your Cotchin type down the track. Clean and strong over the ball and a savage tackler.
Martyn who knows? Is definitely what you'd call vanilla based on his clips but you need a few blokes in the midfield mix who consistently do the basics right. Standard setters.
Your Bolton types stand taller and perform better with these dependable types around them.
Cheers SoS!Seems a bit vanilla

I reckon Graham will evolve to play a Cotchin-esque game, not necessarily achieve the same heights. Hard-nut, lowish possession count midfielder but impacts when the team needs a lift, a leader. He very well could be pushed out if we can add a player with the same defensive tenacity who has more offensive weapons. Personally I'm not a fan of players who have one club in their bag. Never liked taggers either.Agree with the Ross part, but Graham like Cotchin... Brownlow medalist, AA, Players best, Dual Premiership Capt.
Graham might struggle to get a regular gig, not because he is not a good player, but is he better than our full midfield already, then add the young guns like Ross, Stack, Pickett and maybe RCD.

Martin, Cotchin, Prestia and Edwards are our gun centre square mids. It seems Pickett will also be in there as he looks more at home there than any other position. I think Ross will quickly add to that mix and is our best centre mid prospect since Cotchin. Lambert runs through there, as will Bolton occasionally this season, a few others as well. So you will need to play multiple positions unless you are one of the big 4 or 5.Graham does the stuff that often goes unnoticed. Tackles, pressure. And he is starting to rack up the possessions, and goals. Do you remember when Graham was dropped. Our midfield was a shadow of itself. Because he adds so much in that pressure stakes. I don't see him as a Cotch. I see him as a Jack Graham. He's on track to be the best pressure player in the AFL,AND to be a good B+ grade mid for possessions. That is absolute A grade in my book. There are plenty of mids that get possessions, but add mothing else. Graham is worth his spot purely on the non-possession stuff. Guy is a genuine elite player, for his type.
RACIST!!!fu** off spelling nazi
