I built up an excellent relationship with Jon when I was at Hawthorn and it's no secret we attempted to recruit him once before,

We knew the half-backs would drop off for Hawthorn and as it evolved, the half-forwards push high up, so our half-back becomes our quarterback. He's our smartest player so he assumed that responsibility. We usually try to put Peter in where you've got to think your way through it the most.

We wanted to grind it out. I wanted to throw the ball more, but when you are ahead by three touchdowns you don't want to do that too much, ... What I was really impressed with was to give our seniors a break on defense, we had a couple of sophomores come in and the beat went on. One (touchdown) squirted out the back door but as far as I am concerned we pitched a shutout. It was pretty good.

Graham hyper-extended his knee and it has ended up a bit sore. There is no structural damage but we have had a conservative approach.

You become excellent, and when you become excellent, no-one can take that away from you.

He's been doing an excellent job. When he goes out on defense, he's got more energy. (Porters Chapel) made some good adjustments, double-teamed him and did a good job of running away from him. We did move him where they were running, and it was a chess game. But he's turned into his own.
