The Lions might look to add some power and brute strength to their midfield with Graham, who claimed the Larke Medal as the best player at the under-18 championships this year after an outstanding campaign for South Australia. Graham's strength and size give him a presence at the stoppages, and he can bust through a pack and come out the other side with the ball tucked under his arm. He isn't the flashiest player but he averaged 25 disposals at the championships and knows how to find the ball.

Why was he not even on the radar in just about every phantom draft? Most 'experts' didn't even have him drafted.
Not saying he is not a good choice as I wouldn't have a clue, but just curious.
 
A big-bodied inside midfielder, Graham has the physical attributes to step straight into an AFL midfield group in 2017 and have an immediate impact.

His manic workrate and appetite for the contest will hold him in good stead, as it did during the under-18 national championships, where he walked away with the Larke Medal, as the standout player in the competition, averaging 25 disposals per game throughout the carnival.

While he lacks some overall polish, he more than compensates through his relentless attack on the football, competitiveness, and presence around the stoppages.

Graham’s repeat running ability enables him to have an impact, both inside and outside the contest.

He has leadership qualities written all over him, and will be one to watch in season 2017.

Read a bio and figured this guy is pretty much the anti-Bolton.

Big, hard at it, solid player with little flair who just gets the job done.

Taken together it seems like a good combo.

sounds a lot like Snipper Miles.

Most I've seen have him 20's/30's
Have another look
