Hope so Dio. He played his role in our flag years, but now he is just a really average passenger.

I've had enough of him. He can take HRS and Pickett with him as well.

Yeah well tell us exactly what his role is. While your at it tell us what his attributes are for the role.

You could pluck just about any good player out of the vfl to perform a singular role.  Ie sml fwd for nothing more than fwd pressure.
The reality is you really have to be aiming for much more than that.You want a small fwd who has a goal sense, is QUICK, applies pressure and hurts when he gets the ball in  hand. Why are we not aiming for more than just a singular role player.

Not many here would argue he either plays fwd  or he plays midfield. Again what are the outstanding attributes that would suggest he can dominate in either role or for that matter CONSISTENTLY PLAY WELL. AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU NEED MORE THAN JUST ONE GOOD ATTRIBUTE.

I'll always love Jack Graham that is. But unfortunately this part of the rebuild he's in that mould where you have to make a call and lose an asset to acquire an asset.

I'd explore grade options for Graham and get into the draft. He's a good player and heart on sleeve type. Can never forget his 2019 prelim heroics. But ultimately isn't a player I'd be looking to keep for next phase. He'd get a decent 2 rounder I believe. Could swap Jack and our 2nd which would be a decent pick for a late 1st rounder.

He's an average player and hasn't really improved much beyond his first season or two.

Trade if we can get anything valuable for him.

Doesn't mean I don't appreciate his service.

Well said boys.

Great fella and a good contributor to our success in 17-20. Next year is 2024 though and he's had a few lean years.

Time to move him on. Badly

OK Claw, I’ll give it a crack, my observations on Jack is that he is tough, does not shirk a contest, is accountable, has good tackling stats and skills, performs well under pressure, is pretty good on his one per enters and reads the game well.
He may not get a game at other clubs but his experience and our injuries, plus waiting on the new batch of players coming through I think, means that we will be needing him next year.

The time to trade him and get value was last season. This post season, it will be our 3rd rounder for insert mediocre team here’s 2nd rounder.
At best.

Jack Graham to GCS as a part of a deal to get their first round pick.
