Dual Richmond premiership midfielder Jack Graham enhanced his rating as one of the AFL competition’s most improved players this season with a top-notch display against Essendon in last Saturday night’s Dreamtime in Perth encounter.

Graham played a pivotal role in the Tigers’ 39-point win, with 22 disposals, five marks, two goals, seven score involvements, five tackles and 256 metres gained.

He has taken his game to another level in 2021 after being a member of two Richmond premiership sides before he’d turned 23 years of age.
