Stats
Bio
Recruited from the local Doutta Stars in the Essendon District Football League, Allan Graco was a competitive, albeit undersized, ruckman and forward standing just 183cm. He broke into the Bombers' senior lineup in the 1971 season, rotating through the followers division and the forward line to manage eight games and two goals. Despite his ability to compete against taller opponents, Graco was unable to cement a permanent spot in the starting 22 and left the club at the end of the year. He subsequently spent time with North Melbourne's reserves before eventually returning to Doutta Stars to continue his football at the local level.
