Rate a Tiger's year - Jack Graham?
« on: October 19, 2019, 03:11:19 AM »
Next up is Graham:

In his 3rd season, Jack played 16 games to take his career tally to 39. After doing a hammy in round 4 against Port, Graham didn't return to the seniors and cement himself back into our best 22 until round 12. Heart-breakingly, he missed out on playing in our Grand Final victory due to a busted shoulder he courageously played on with in the Preliminary Final win against Geelong.

Considering the severity of his injuries. Firstly coming back from a shoulder reco and not doing a full pre-season and the courage he showed in the Prelim when he is the other shoulder I reckon he had a great year

I know people whacked him throughout the season but seeing we are a team first, role first side he did dveryth9ng asked of him throughout the year
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

I gave him a 9 for playing his role. He’s a pretty good finisher and kicks some nice goals and of course his courage in the prelim will forever make him a legend

Poor early in the year. Maybe due to injury but just lost his touch, was very fumbly and missing easy targets. When he came back from his last stint in the vfl he was great.

Has always been a defensive machine but his stats show he is getting more of the ball and trending upwards offensively which is a great sign  :thumbsup

I see him being in a leadership
position at some point. Possibly Vice Captain to a Nick Vlastuin in the future. Great gutsy performance in the prelim. Overall 7/10.

I gave him an 8 because without his Herculean effort in the prelim we would never have won the flag. Certified legend.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Gave him a 10 for the same reason.

gave him a 7.
Thought he improved and continued to track in the right direction.
Would like him to win a tad more contested ball and maybe a few more clearances.
