[YeOldTiger]

But i'll just leave this here
"Ross’ 20m sprint time of 2.95 seconds"

But but but he looks slow...like Jack Graham looks slow lol

VFL: Liam Buxton: Flying high at Casey

Casey's new ruckman is fast becoming an elite VFL ruck

pretty bullish 3y ago , what happened

Yep Ross is neither fast nor an elite runner - for the wing you need both

Wrong on both counts.

Runs a 2.95sec 20m sprint and it was reported by one of the coaches, Kingsley I believe that Ross had graduated over the summer into one of the best runners at the club and was now on the top 3 or 4...those are the facts...

Edit: it was actually McQualter on Coaches Corner featuring Jack Ross 25/2/22. Said Jack had made massive improvements in his running and gone from a "mid pack runner to right at the front, winning several trials". Also said he'd had a superb preseason.

Expect to see him line up on the wing, as he has in the practice matches.

I think our game plan revolves around one pure winger (Macca). The other plays as a defensive mid - thus Ross and Aarts, and you see Caddy and other mids lining up there at the bounces. Perhaps people attending on Thu night can confirm the running patterns of that 'other' winger.

Noticeable in2020 if you watch the big finals enough that Pickett was obviously guarding the exit on the fat side. So if it’s in our fwd half you could see him top of screen working hard to make that backwards and across kick dangerous for the oppo. Assume Macca did the same when the ball was on the other side.
And our favourite small forward also did it all game long. Guarding space ain’t sexy.

Stop. U r making too much sense and providing facts. that’s not how it works on this site. U should be given a warning by mods.

Ross has been in good form, narrowly missed an early shot at goal versus the Hawks.
A new element to his game.
His form warrants selection.
Form is all that matters.

If Ross plays wing then we are stuffed. Not a wingman's ahole

pickett, we dont play him at our peril.

I love Pickett, but given everyone knocks Ross's foot skills I can only assume those same posters acknowledge that Pickett is possibly the worst kick in the AFL?

 

[RobsJourney]

Anyone head down to open training?

 

[RobsJourney]

Anyone think Cumberland is a sneaky chance to take the spot of Castagna this season?

Not straight up, Dimma loves him and rates his team first focus
I’m not a massive George fan but he’s preseason form has been solid
Reckon we’ll see Cumberland some time this year, maybe early if he puts the runs on the board in the VFL. Exciting talent

Really?

Looked pretty good in the 2019 GF and plenty of times since.

Champion Data had Shaun Higgins as the worst kick in the AFL last year and given how silky he is if he is better than him he is going ok.

He has to come in and take Mac's spot. The other wing will probably be a combo of players like Ross and Edwards, Bolton, Castagna maybe. Ross has spend equal time on the wing and in the middle so you would assume he will do the same. Hugo might have had a chance but with Vlas out will probably play half back.

Stack might even get a gig off the bench considering he was a standout last weekend on the wing. But that would mean perhaps not playing Aarts, and you know that won't happen.

Caro on Footy Class.
She says it will be our year.
I met her briefly the other day, she was very friendly.
Both her and my families are in media, 44 years.
She started at the Herald as a cadet in 1978.

Why doesn't your Brother Kane like us Chad?

George will do one better than Dusty 17.
Add the Coleman.

why the worst? Because he naturally floats them?

I like him kicking to space in our forward line, he gets the forwards coming to the ball

He peaked in game one, we all agree on that surely? I am not even saying I dont rate him as an all round player but his kicking his atrocious. Continually turns it over by foot, under pressure, no pressure, minimal pressure, he is horrendous by foot.

I really like him in the team, brings hardness, hurts the opposition, but doesn't get himself rubbed out in the act

Interestingly we put out a call too Houli if he was interested in signing up as a Covid top up player.
He declined.
