Jack Graham part 1 didn't even reach 10k.

We're not really meant to let threads go over 100 pages and continue on. Certified legendary threads are probably the only ones we will let run out to the 10k limit.
 
Needs to work on his ability to accumulate the footy. He needs to do more than crack in, pressure and tackle. Even Townsend is capable of that.
It’ll be tough for him to improve in that aspect I think because it’s a somewhat natural ability. I don’t think he’s the sort of player where you say Just get another pre season into him and that will benefit him because he was already such a physical beast at such a young age that’s not the problem. His pressure alone when he’s on can be crucial to helping us win matches so I definitely think he has a part to play in our future.

His pressure is great, but the gameplan and gamewill evolve, we need him to be doing more than that otherwise he is literally a smaller version of Towsend but less dangerous up forward.

Once again, thank you PP.

63k is a pretty solid crowd for Jack to play in front of.

You need to change your club supported back to Richmond, just saying
 
Needs to work on his ability to accumulate the footy. He needs to do more than crack in, pressure and tackle. Even Townsend is capable of that.

I think he will. His first two years have been to establish the fundamentals. Next phase of his development is what you’ve touched on. I dont see this guy as being a forward half player. His role will be as that defensive mid. If he can rack up 20-25 touches a game with high contested numbers and decent DE that’s a massive tick.
 
I don't think we will need to worry about Jack Graham at all. He has plenty of improvement still. I can see him becoming a genuine tagger even.
I think so too. He had no problems at all getting his hands on the ball as junior and i dont think anything has changed.

As far as i can see he had just two knocks on his game he was a big bodied mid and people were saying wrongly that there was no more upside to him as far as physicality goes. Shannon Hurn says hello to all that nonsense.
The other knock was he was a bit one dimensional and lacked a little bit of pace.
He is no slower than any other big inside mid going around and he covers the ground okay. the real key there is to be able to get to contest after contest and to go the other way with your opponent.
There is no problem with Jack Grahams aerobic capacity. He has been very effective in the defensive side of the game at AFL level he now needs to add a more offensive side to his game and i can really say i can not see any reason why this wont happen.

He now enters his third season and there is no way any thinking person would not continue to put more games into the likes of him and Higgins in the expectation that his game will continue to improve.
