Just that Graham has improved dramatically from his exposure to AFL and his biggest deficiency was his size and tank whilst playing juniors. Apparently he would rock up to training an hour early and leave an hour or so later and really sought the advice of coaches on how to improve his game. Nick said he has been tracking his progress after recommending him in his draft year and believes that 2017 will be his breakout season

No one condones his horrendous actions but its a bit rough to suggest someone cannot change.
That may well be true but when someone makes one 'mistake' and then keeps making that same mistake......?

I've probably watched more of Graham at close range than most and I do worry that what he does well at the lower level, doesn't come about at the more senior level. There have been AFL games that he looked as though he was busting a gut but somehow that same energy doesn't seem to be there as regular any more. I'd like to think that Stevens is right on this one. We sure could do with another mid or two.

What an upstanding fine young citizen!



North Melbourne midfielder Trent Dumont has gone on trial in Adelaide accused of robbing a taxi driver of $70 cash.

The 21-year-old and his co-accused Joshua Lomas have pleaded not guilty to aggravated robbery over the alleged incident in Adelaide's CBD in October 2014.

At the risk of starting up a mud-flinging contest between thylacine60 and passmark....

What's the ground like? There are a couple of basic stands? Can you head to one of the adjacent ovals for a kick-to-kick after the game (or during if we're playing like crap). There'll be some food stalls open, I presume...

EDIT: Is there a nearby market selling doughnuts?

Ruck academy planned for overlooked big men

THE AFL has begun planning for a 'ruck academy' for taller prospects who have been overlooked by clubs at the draft.

In a bid to push more ruck options through the system, the League informed clubs this week of its plans to build an AFL national academy ruck program.
This sounds like a good idea on face value.
