13 tackles tonight - second highest number ever recorded for a Richmond player.

Touch is a lot better now and finding more of the footy too.

When’s he’s playing like this he’s a very important player for us.

A decent chunk of them on Steelo Wool Sidebottom
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

This from the AFL feed of the game

"Jack Graham has had a game-high 105 pressure points for Richmond, 54 more than the next individual player. Graham was also involved in a match-high 42 pressure acts, 17 more than the next highest individual player on the ground.

That sounds like some game!

That tackle on a much bigger player in Grundy makes me feel like Bruce watching rioli

No. 2 for total pressure acts and tackles at Richmond

“He’s relentless at the ball and relentless at the player with the ball and his tackling is very good too. He’s a valuable asset around our midfield.”

Adding offence to his game in 2019

“He certainly has (added offence to his game). Particularly in (Round 20 against Melbourne), being able to kick two goals... He was very clean in this game and he’s certainly improved that aspect of his game across the course of the year and it just seems to be getting better and better, so hopefully he continues to improve.”

Nice.

Been impressed with his last month or so.

Definitely lifted.

From Robbo's "Likes" column:

3. Jack Graham


Nothing like inspiring a teammate in his milestone game with a best-on-ground performance. Shane Edwards was outstanding in his 250th game. Jack Graham was better — and it was welcomed on the eve of the finals. He kicked four goals to double his season’s tally, but kicking goals is not his forte. In many ways Graham is the heartbeat of effort at Tigerland. His 14 tackles against the Blues follow his 6, 13, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 9 tackles in recent games.

Goal kicking not his forte????

He doesn't get many chances I'd say, but he makes them count. Not many players with more composure in front of goal than him.

To me, there is a key reason why Graham looked like he played a dominant game today.

Had 22 disposals, with 19 of them being kicks. Perfect wet weather footy.

It begs the question why so many of his teammates didn't play the same way. So frustrating watching us commit horrid turnovers from over possessing the ball in wet conditions.

The other annoying part of our game was.lack of smalls behind marking contests, would have thought on a wet day that's where you need to have at least one small every time.

We're the best wet weather team in the comp because we can handball in the tricky stuff. We don't win because of the old fashioned "get it forward" mantra, we win because we're slicker than the rest in those conditions.

Carlton did their best to play it on their terms but couldn't contain it all day.
