Amateur hour at punt road.

Fat blokes running around pretending to look fit, others rushed back early to injure again, is  about as unprofessional as it gets.

We all love him but he looks so slow lately and overweigh. I guess it's a result of a poor preseason and constant injuries? However, I do wonder if the nickname fridge is a clue to some of his own lifestyle choices and preparation. Is this the reason injuries reoccur for him?  Perhaps that's why he wants to stay.. It's an easy life at Richmond??...

Wants to stay ?
He tried to leave and then cracked the sooks when Port picked up Horne-Francis

I reckon he looked pretty fit at round 1.
A number of senior players look to be taking the pee on the coach since the injuries hit and they’ve realised we won’t be near finals.
Good for us #pickonegetitdone but a poor example to the cubs
“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.

He's always been aerobically fit but not a burst player.

Can't say I noticed or looked too closely at his physique at the game last weekend nor have I bothered (and won't) to watch the replay.

He needs to go regardless, whether it be trade or de-list.

Damo, FYI

There's an article/interview by Jon Ralph last week on the paywall sports news website Code Sports where he says he wants to stay

Imagine how poo port would be if they didn't decide Graham wasn't worth chasing when JHF opted for them

Graham turns hand to tagging

Richmond turned to Jack Graham to play a tagging role on Saturday night, with the dual premiership Tiger sent to Brownlow Medal contender Caleb Serong at the first bounce. While Graham couldn't stop Serong from getting the ball, he was able to limit his effectiveness as the Dockers continued rotating their star onballers forward. Serong had 16 disposals and four clearances in the first half, but he was limited to 50 per cent efficiency and just two score involvements. He finished with 27 touches, fighting hard through the attention.
