One of the key attractions for Richmond recruits is the prospect of regularly playing in front of big crowds at the MCG.
Talented, tough, young midfielder Jack Graham is clearly living the dream in that regard.
Graham, who was taken by the Tigers with their second pick (No. 53 overall) in the 2016 AFL national draft, has played a total of 22 senior games with the Club.
Of those 22 games, 16 have been at the MCG, and of those 16, five have attracted crowds of 90,000-plus, four of 70,000-plus, and three of 50,000-plus.
Throw in an away crowd of 57,616 against West Coast at the new Optus Stadium in Round 9 and, all-up, Graham has played 13 AFL games where the attendance figure has topped 50,000.
