One would expect The Machine has already reached out to Slevison for this brutal assessment

Yep the bar is set low.
But hey he does the odd thing well and thats good enough.
You have to go back to rnd one to find a game at an overall acceptable level imho.But hey for most a few tackles here and there and the odd lowering of the eyes is enough.

Sorry MT I'm being lazy and can't find Jack Graham thread.

But a huge shoutout to fridge thought he was excellent tonight. Robbed of a good tackle too.
Go Tigers!

Mentioned his last qtr in particular in the game thread

Thought he was outstanding

But I'm sure some still won't hesitate in criticising  :shh

Oh and some of his stats

21 disposals
90% efficiency
6 score involvements
2 goal assists
4 tackles
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

Was enormous I thought, 21 surprised me felt like more but I'd guess the vast majority of that was forward third of the ground and part of a number of scoring chains.
Go Tigers!

That sling tackle was staged by the opposition player. Disgraceful. You could see the look on Graham's face.

Graham does look a little slow lately.

Was holding the ball before it was a sling. Simple. The interpretation of holding the ball simply encourages the player with ball to hang onto it for longer.
“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.

To all those who keep calling for Graham to be traded asked delisted dropped whatever. Saying he is too slow , bla bla bla... Have absolutely no idea how important he is and vital for our team. He may appear slow but he isn't !! What is he , a machine that just keeps going and going and going. Is hard as and a leader. He never gets the credit he deserves and many forget quickly all he has done.

You are blind and have no idea what he does and what his role is. Ask the club what they think about him and his game.
Seriously open your eyes

I don’t mind graham, I’m also not overly fussed about his speed, not all players are blessed with speed and acceleration and there’s been plenty of great players who didn’t have that in their arsenal.

I’m saying all that I thought he was very poor for 3 quarters before coming alive in the last and banging in 2 clutch goals. Would have had him out of the side next week at 3 qtr time but redeemed himself in the last.
