His 2017 GF and 2019 PF efforts will live long in tiger folklore.

Good luck to him - think this is a good result for everyone involved tbh.

End of 2nd rounder. Lock it in.
“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.

Free agency papers have been lodged to see Jack Graham move from Richmond to West Coast as an unrestricted free agent, which will be made official today.

AFL will then confirm compensation pick headed Richmond's way for losing Graham to the Eagles. @AFLcomau @TradeRadio

"The AFL will distribute the compensation for Jack Graham today. I think he is a good acquisition for West Coast." - @CalTwomey

"I think this one is likely band two or three." - @RileyBev

laughable. Not because i dont think the pick is right, but because i think its absolute cheating on display here

Never in doubt!

Now it's just fodder for trading.

Probably around the mark tbh, but if we had any brains we'd be asking WCE to bump it so it gets band 3, and we compensate them in other ways.

Now not happy he’s going

Although limited , he was worth more as a big body to protect the kids than getting pick 42

Yeah it actually puts a dampener on it, even for me.

I had heard/hoped we would get band 3, which I thought was daylight robbery/overs.

42 before slides is much less useful and like you I wonder if he'd be better off on our list as depth.

Still glad he's going ..but if Battle & Perryman are worth first rounders then surely he's worth a second.. McKay got pick 3 ffs....just blatant corruption and as usual the club will just roll over and cop it.... >:(

The compo means the dollars aren’t huge either

Pretty gutless to do a runner under those circumstances

The only actual "formula" is which clubs are involved....they really just make it up as they go..... :shh

lol surprise surprise.

The fact that there is no transparency about how the AFL determines compensation says it all.

Band 4 on a 4 year deal aged 26 you can't make this crap up.
