Graham had 11 score involvements last night to go along with his 26 possies in the midfield.
Looks to have trimmed down and seems to have gained a yard of pace too.
The club that keeps giving.

If he's gained a yard a yard of pace then everyone else must've gained two... :shh

Dimma talking about Graham post-game:

Graham is a transitional mid. The game comes to him now. It's a transitional game now. If you can't run then you can't play. It's as simple as that. You look at the way he runs on tape he is an incredible athlete that runs from contest to contest. I think he got it 27 times tonight. A lot of contested ball. The game suits him now. Guys like Kane Lambert and Dion Prestia likewise. We're lucky our recruiting staff recruited these types of players as they are going to be very valuable. You look at Sam Walsh tonight. The game comes to him as well. Had 30 and covered the ground well. Incredible!
 
Graham was good last week in the practice match as well even with Cotchin alongside him. Now that game is structured longer, Jack gets better as the game goes along. He's an incredible aerobic beast and he just runs. He gut runs as long as I've seen. We show our guys vision of him all the time. He's been a very good player for us over a number of years but his best footy is certainly in front of him.

Took it to another level.

Amazing what a full pre-season and having full movement and confidence in the shoulder will do

Carlton did have a real dip at recruiting him, they might be really disappointed at the moment- so sad

One of my favourites and I’m glad he stayed with us.

I think he’s gained an extra step of speed too despite what Dio thinks :rollin

From Barrett's latest 'Sliding Doors' column:

IF ... Dusty, Cotch, Riewoldt, Prestia, Grimes, Lynch and Edwards usually attract the headlines ...

THEN ... Jack Graham is about to join them. Great finals series in 2020, a blistering start to 2021.
