Player Watch #34: Jack Graham

[Ralll]

I like the idea of recruiting our own inside depth than picking up the retreads of the past few seasons..

 

[Joey longshadow]

built like tarzan plays like jane

This will seem unkind, but the angle of the pic makes me think his mum had the Zika virus whilst pregnant

Graham is another Townsend

Graham is another Townsend

Was Townsend state Capt, all Aust u18 , and larke medalist for the championship with highest meters gained 431/game I think not

It was a bit rich the statement comparing Graham to Townsend.
Townsend did have big years around the same age in his TAC and VFL years and couldn't take the next step.
It was a Poor comparison as one is starting his journey and the other is tapering off.

I wasn't being serious but all those accolades mean * all now

 

[Tango67]

Since 1999 every Larke medalist has gone on to be a good afl footballer, some great.
It's interesting to note that our Nankervis also won the second div medal in 2013

 

[Wackelpudding]

The fact he won the Larke medal really makes be excited about him.

Btw, what is the Larke medal?

He's very good at joking around

 

[Wackelpudding]

He's very good at joking around

Excellent. Will hit it off with Trossman then!

 

[Bojangles17]

I wasn't being serious but all those accolades mean **** all now

Well that's easy to say but credentials are credentials

Is the Larke medal meaningless? Must be if he slipped to pick 53

Bloody skylark!

Winny all these bloody awards.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Winny all these bloody awards.

He was just mucking about. Was keeping some in the tank for the big leagues. Rising star year 1 Brownlow year 2.

Imagine if he didn't win it though? What then?

Well that's a lie.

Jesse Smith and Cale Morton won in 2004 and 2007

 

[Sir_Loin]

The last 6 have all been top 3 picks, apart from Dom Sheed eing Pick 11.

Why didn't he go top 12 then? Must be a false economy

See it's a great award if you're picked in the top 10 but a s**t award if your picked in the 50s

 

[Sir_Loin]

Well that's a lie.

Jesse Smith and Cale Morton won in 2004 and 2007

Jesse Smith wtf happened to that guy

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Jesse Smith wtf happened to that guy

Got stuck in front of his xbox

 

[Sir_Loin]

Got stuck in front of his xbox

Norfified. Then he went to the saints because he thought they'd get the best out of him

Poor campaigner

 

[Sir_Loin]

Looking at the list, he definitely stands out in terms of draft pick. Before that some winners were Jack Watts (pick 1), Marc Murphy (pick 1), Tom Hawkins etc.

My point being is two fold. He is mature for his age so he dominated at his age level and

In the big leagues now, might have some early impact but is his ceiling limited when his peers have more upside?

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Daniel Rich esque?

Draft No. 7, 2008 National Draft, Brisbane Lions

[Sir_Loin]

Daniel Rich esque?

Maybe

Rich had apparently a laser rocket peg that could hit up targets lace out from about mile out

Graham has leadership written all over him. Style reminds of Cunnington. In the clinches win the pill.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Jesse Smith wtf happened to that guy

Injuries I think.
