Admittedly, i only had one eye on the TV as the rugrats were causing havoc, but everytime i saw Graham he was dropping marks and fumbling. :-\
Yes, he dropped a sitter, as did Simmo and Kreuz around the same time... there was this bizarre period of 5 minutes early in the game where everyone seemed to fumble and drop easy chest marks! Simmo's dropped chest mark cost us a goal.
Not saying I think Graham is in our best 22 but I just wanted to give him some acknowledgment and kudos for his efforts on Saturday, one of his much better games. And, yes, too slow and disposal by foot is suss, but he did his bit in tight and when the contest was willing.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Graham is a workhorse, made things a lot easier for our star midfielders who were woeful the week prior.

He's also happy to stand up for himself and others, which is good to see in our team.

One thing we've improved leaps and bounds this year is hitting up the little 20m passes down the wing. It's something the good teams do really well as it prevents you having to bomb 50m to a contest on the HFF.
Graham was really good for presenting and constant movement which helped this a lot - as mentioned. Even when he didn't get the ball he gave the opposition something to worry about creating spaces for others.

Interesting though I have watched the replay twice now and hardly noticed him, different perspective when you can see the whole ground and not just the view on the TV.
Agree NN, I definitely noticed his high workrate at the game, not so much on the replay.
