Richmond’s second pick in last year’s AFL National Draft, strongly-built, inside midfielder, Jack Graham, will be placed on the Club’s long-term injury list after injuring his ankle at training earlier this week.

Scans revealed the 19-year-old had sustained a small fracture in his left ankle.

He is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks with the Club currently in the process of lodging the paperwork today (Thursday, March 23).

Graham, who captained South Australia in last year’s under-18 national championships, won the Larke Medal as best player throughout the series, and gained All-Australian selection, had only recently recovered from a hamstring injury that had restricted his pre-season preparation with the Tigers.

He will join ruckman Shaun Hampson (back complaint) on Richmond’s long-term injury list.
