BIOGRAPHY
Graham was a goalkicking half-forward who retired after playing about 400 games and kicking approximately 730 goals. He was a clever player who had good ball skills and was dangerous around the goals. He joined Richmond from Catani in 1969 and spent just over two seasons at Punt Road before crossing to Oakleigh. He spent three seasons with Oakleigh before moving to South Adelaide where he played between 1974 and 1977. He also represented South Australia once and then commenced his coaching career with Penola before returning to Victoria where he coached Sale, Maffra and Morwell. He was a VFL Country Development Officer between 1987 and 1989, before becoming senior coach at Morwell, in 1990. He now lives at Maffra. Graham’s son, Ben, made his senior debut with the Brisbane Bears in 1996.
