Talented, tough Tiger midfielder Jack Graham finished the 2020 season with the best winning record of any current player in the AFL competition (based on a minimum of 50 games).
Graham, who played in his second premiership side with Richmond this year, has 44 wins, one draw and 10 losses from 55 games of AFL football. That equates to a superb winning strike-rate of 80.9 percent.
The 22-year sits in ninth place on the competition’s all-time, win-loss ratio list, behind leader Norm MacLeod, who had a record 88.7 percent winning strike-rate in 58 games for Collingwood from 1927-32 (51 wins, one draw and six losses).
Second on the current players’ list is Graham’s teammate, dependable defender and triple premiership Tiger, Nathan Broad, with 55 wins, one draw and 14 losses from his 70 games, for a winning strike-rate of 79.2 percent. Broad is 16th on the all-time list.
Another three-time Richmond premiership hero – robust ruckman Toby Nankervis – is in third place among current-day players with a winning strike-rate at Tigerland of 77.1 percent. Nankervis has 54 wins and 16 losses from 70 games with the Tigers.
Richmond has three other key team members in the current top-20 list – triple-premiership pair Jason Castagna and Kane Lambert and dual premiership player Jayden Short.
Castagna is sixth with 71.6 percent (69 wins, one draw, 27 losses from 97 games), Lambert 11th on 70.0 percent (80 wins, one draw and 34 losses from 115 games), and Short 17th with 69.0 percent (63 wins, one draw and 28 losses from 92 games).
