Jack Graham had a significant impact in his return to Richmond’s senior side for yesterday’s match against Sydney at the Gabba.

The 2017 premiership Tiger played the first three games this season but was omitted from the line-up following the Round 3 loss to Hawthorn.

Recalled for the Round 6 clash with the Swans due to the absence of injured star midfield duo Trent Cotchin and Dion Prestia, he played a key role in Richmond’s win through his strong on-ball efforts.

Graham thrived in the wet conditions, finishing the match with 16 disposals, including a game-high seven inside-50s, game-high six score involvements, four marks, an equal-game high six tackles and 404 metres gained.

He displayed an exemplary work ethic over the course of the four quarters, applying his trademark defensive pressure, and also made impressive contributions in the attacking aspects of the game.
