Tough Richmond midfielder, Jack Graham will not play in this Saturday’s AFL Grand Final, after dislocating his shoulder in Friday night’s preliminary final.
Following consultation with the Club’s medical department, the risk of re-dislocation was deemed too great for Graham to compete this weekend.
“We’re so proud of Jack for playing on after he was injured on Friday night, he is the ultimate team man,” Richmond’s General Manager – Football, Neil Balme said.
“He has tried his hardest to be available to play this Saturday, and we commend him for that, but there’s a high probability that he will re-injure himself in Saturday’s game, which has influenced our decision.
“While he may not be out there on Saturday, his contribution to the team this season has been invaluable.”
