As most know I dislike players like Houli, BEllis and Grigg as I think they are scared little girls most of the time and this kid Jack Graham is why.

He comes in and just has a crack, and just does what he needs to do as an AFL footballer.
He is far from anything flashy, hasn't really got numbers yet but the kid just does the team things and what we as Tigers supporters want to see.

3 games 27 tackles.  :cheers

Outstanding!!

He did some real strong work around stoppages last night. Really like his low key attitude.

I read somewhere he had 23 pressure acts which was third highest on the ground (and at the extreme end of elite for afl level).

Hard at it, speed and endurance.

Not bad for an 18 year old with what, 5 games to his name.

Three games. His third game was a QF against Geelong in front of 95k where he bullied opposition midfielders. That's definitely some credits in the bank.

He had 8 tackles 20 mins into the 2nd qtr, kid is a fridge, saw him taking danger at some stoppages and putting some strong bodywork on. Ran out of puff in the 2nd half but man this kid is a beast

Not disagreeing he ran out of puff but it was super impressive that he still ran hard BOTH ways right until the end. That tackle on Smith was a beauty though, dropped him line a sack of poo

Pick 53 and he won the Larke medal for best player in the TAC championships. Was captain of SA.

Future leader of the RFC.

50's iirc. Definitely a later pick. People also thought he wouldn't produce at AFL level. Words to the effect "the kid is already a developed big body so has limited potential"

Makes it all the sweeter.  I read he is a take charge sort of bloke too so he is win win.

So my response wasn't full of poo in this instance. Mmm only thing I notice is the fact we agreed. Don't like people disagreeing with you it seems

Suddenly we have a team full of leaders.

Cotch, Jack and Tross. Even Dusty leading by example.

Dion and Caddy a level down but still good in that area.

Floss and Graham being the newer generation of leaders.

No wonder our team can withstand challenges now.  :clapping :clapping :clapping

Tackling machine....still like to see him get more of the pill....not asking for 20 plus at this staget but another half dozen or so a game would be handy.....generally uses it well when he des get it...
