BIOGRAPHY
Graeme was a key-position forward. Recruited from Melbourne, he was a strong-marking player who won Richmond’s Best First Year Player and Leading Goalkicker awards in 1960, and the Reserves’ Best and Fairest award in 1961. He moved to Tasmania in 1962 and had a very successful career, playing essentially as a centre-half-forward although he did play occasionally at centre-half-back. Whilst playing with City South, he won their Goalkicking award seven times, including the Competition award in 1968. Graeme also won the Competition Best and Fairest in 1968, as well as representing Tasmania eight times. He still lives in Tasmania and has been involved in covering football on both television and radio.
