SEN say George & Graham.
Jason Castagna and Jack Graham
Three-time premiership forward Jason Castagna found himself out of Richmond’s senior side in the back-end of last season.
He played 16 games in 2022, the first time since 2016 that he has played less than 20 times in a season. He also returned just 12 goals, his lowest tally since his debut season.
Castagna was forced out of the team by the likes of Maurice Rioli Jnr and Noah Cumberland and in a contract year will be eager to re-enter Damien Hardwick’s calculations.
Midfielder Jack Graham is a vital member of the club’s engine room when he’s up and running.
The courageous and hard-working Graham was out for the last few games of 2022 with a foot injury and his toughness and physicality around the ball was missed in the devastating finals loss to Brisbane.
With the off-season acquisitions of Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper, it could spell danger for a player like Graham so he’d be keen to reaffirm himself as a pivotal on-baller.
Entering his seventh season and 97 games into his career, Graham is coming into his prime and could play a key role alongside the club’s prized recruits.
