Jack Graham that is [merged]

[one-eyed]

From Barrett's Sliding Doors column:



IF ...
Jacob Hopper was given a seven-season deal to come to the Tigers ...

THEN ...
I can only wonder what Jack Graham truly thinks of that. Very similar exposed form.

As much as I love Graham I disagree with that 100%.

Hopper was nearly All Aus.

Jack has been in and out of our team at various points.

Have to say when Graham is at his best his best is probably equal to Hopper. But his consistency and probably body health lacks a bit.

[Andyy]

Hopper is streets ahead of Graham.

Graham also got a 4 year deal last time (3 + trigger) so it's not like he's living week to week.

I'm the last person to defend Barrett

But read what he wrote. He chose his words very carefully

He said "exposed form" not career form.

Very sneaky of Mr  Barrett

[Tiger Khosh]

I don’t know what ‘exposed form’ means but anyway you look at it I don’t think graham and hoppers careers to date are comparable. If you nitpick their top 5-10 games or look at career avg hopper will come out comfortably ahead. You could argue that jack has sacrificed his own personal game for team success and that the giants mostly played as a group of individuals.

Sheesh no wonder the media have credability problems. Comparing Graham and Hopper is laughable.
FFS Jack Graham has not done a whole heap to warrant such adulation.

[georgies31]

I'm not convinced either should have been traded.

[1965]

I'm not convinced either he should of Ben traded.

Pardon.

Graham, has played some very good games but lacks  consistency , he might have been playing injured and lacking the fitness that is his main weapon.
He can be in our best if he gets it right

Solid b grader
Not best 22

But there is always injuries and he’s a fantastic next man up and sits in the 24-28 range of the list

Just my opinion

My goodness- finished 2nd in the B&F in 2021 and played this year with a toe issue which hampered his running ability. Best 22 player everyday of the week

He most definitely isn’t best 22 “every day of the week” in my opinion .. so you can spare me the my goodness

Deadset , you are either Jack Graham or his best mate .. oh hang on you can’t be , I forgot the Adelaide trip you told us all about and was wrong about

Side note , last 6 “best 22” sides posted in that thread have the following -

Graham as emergency or out of side x 4
Graham on bench x 1
Graham on bench if extended to 5 x 1

So yeah , go somewhere else for a my goodness and apologise for my assessment of 24-28 on the list , which most clearly agree with

Damo just for you....my goodness!

[the claw]

His inside game is miles behind Hopper we went after Hopper and Taranto for a reason.

Reckon just about everyone agrees Jack is a solid player but he is now definately behind 7 other mids the same can be said for Baker and Short.
Imo the three are behind Cotchin, Martin, Prestia, Bolton, Hopper, Taranto and while its early days Sonsie looks a real beaut who has to be played and brings something different to the three mentioned.

The bottom line is you cannot field a team of mids there are specialist positions that just have to be filled and because of that some favorites will struggle to get a game.

aren't you the bloke that pulled out a speed gun and clocked Graham running at 37ks per hour to prove he's not slow

My goodness
