Talent tap

"I was like a tap," the plumber said.

"I was just hot and cold.

"One week I would kick three or four goals and then the next couple of weeks I wouldn't go near it.

"Now there's definitely some consistency there."

He credits the consistency to Blues coach Adam Dowie.

"He knows how to get the best out of everyone," he said.

"There's a good bunch of lads around and we're a lot closer compared to what we have been in the past.

"I feel that I'm playing my best football since I've been at Warrnambool.

"All us players who are around the same age have matured together."

The forward started his career at Nirranda before crossing to Hampden League's Blues when he was 17.

Except for an six-month stint in Darwin after the 2008 season, he has remained at Warrnambool.

The 24-year-old will become a life member of the club today, when he plays his 100th senior game for the Blues.

But he will put the milestone in the back of his mind to concentrate on overcoming Camperdown.

A Warrnambool victory at Leura Oval would ensure the Blues have beaten every side this season.

"We've been going well and that's because everyone is doing their little bit," Graham said.

"I suppose my part is kicking a couple of goals a game to take the pressure off (Jason Rowan), who is in good form.

"A few years ago when we were younger lads, we both just wanted to kick goals but we've matured and are sharing them now."

The forward believes his development has also been helped by his teenage brother Darcy, who is in his debut season in seniors.

"I used to go watch him play most of his Sunday games in under 16s," Graham said.

"I think I've grown a few inches this season because I've had to stand up with him in the team.

"I want to play good football around him.

"He's going to be a good player.

"Again that's thanks to Wiggsy (Dowie) because he gives everyone a chance.

"Even if you're in reserves, you're never out of (being selected for seniors).

"Josh Walters is another person you look up to.

"He's one of the best players in Hampden League."

Despite Warrnambool being the competition's team to beat, Graham wasn't looking too far ahead.

"We want to get to the finals," he said.

"It would be disappointing if we didn't.

"If we get to finals, then we'll go from there."

He said the Blues wouldn't be taking the young Magpies lightly today.
