Graham is a terrific possession getter, smart user and good tackler, but he can't get the role he wants in a AFL midfield. Gibbs and Cripps have it covered.
The only role I reckon he might, just might, have a chance of taking is Kerridge, but Kerridge cover miles more territory than Graham.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not pumping up Graham's tyres.
He's nothing flash but then neither is Armfield, I was hoping that Clem Smith would come on and play them both out of the side but that hope's starting to look like a long shot.
If Graham and Armfield are still pressing for senior selection in two years from now we'll still be struggling.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Has had games of 3,3 and 4 goals and other gamesin defence like last week where he got 20 touches and 6 marks. Jones has done ok though and certainly enough to hold his place so he stays. Right now, with Casboult out, I'd play them both.
I look forward to the day when we don't have to compare Jones and Jaksch... neither is Walls, McKay, Mclure, Kernahan, Spalding, Fevola, Whitnall, you could even throw SOS in there as a key, tall forward.
In a way comparing Jones and Jaksch is like trying to work out who is our 8th best tall forward versus who is our 9th best tall forward. Come on Harrry, come on Charlie, come on SOSOS... put us out of our misery!!!!
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Depth only - footsoldiers.

You cannot kill off all the depth players, the ones in the gun should be the blokes who currently languish in the 2s and cannot get a look in. I'd expect blokes like Armfield and Graham to be the perfect depth players going forward.
Will they will ever make regular contributions, who knows?

Did some very encouraging things but tired and had an ice pack on his calf at the end. Hope it was just precautionary. Gotta hunch that after a couple more games he'll be pressing for senior selection.
Long overdue return.
Thanks for the report Baggers.

Nice tap and nice kick! He should be called "Goliath" - he looks huuuge.

I agree, but in the past we've kept sub standard players on our list way too long.

This bloke could be the real deal! His ruck work is coming on nicely. He got more taps than Wood last week and more taps to advantage. But he still has a fair bit of work on the rest of game to do yet. But for a beginner, he is doing nicely.
Live Long and Prosper!

This bloke could be the real deal! Centre bounce work looks bloody text book. Better kicking action than Cas. This guy has a future.
