His attack on the football and strength at contests was outstanding. Played the conditions perfectly. Well done to him.

True, however he was nowhere near as effective earlier this year - in fact he was appropriately dropped. Has lifted his game and I suppose got his shoulder confidence back!

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.

Dumb comment by Slobbo.

Agree, he's one of the best players at slotting goals, on the run or set shots.  Could Robbo remember him slotting 3 goals calmly in the 17 GF?  Probably not, he would have killed a few too many brain cells to remember that

Slobbo would've been under the table by quarter time at the GF... :shh

Agree with the comments about him playing wet weather footy the correct way

Far too many clever taps and groovy grubbers yesterday....:shh

Now there’s the way to cement a finals spot.

I would love the Bolton’s and Baker’s to do the same this week.

You make it hard for the coaches to drop you if you are playing well.

One of the gutsiest individual efforts. Imagine playing most of the game with a busted shoulder including still tackling. Graham is tough as nails.
