Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

[Lord of the Wings]

He's no good in the middle.

He’s no good anywhere. No.2 on our delist list after Sonsie.

 

[el_simo]

Hasn't done a lot since Rd1. Performing a role at HF. He's a mature body now with miles on the legs which is really valuable for us. That said, I'd expect him to be upgraded on in the coming years, along with many other players.

 

[captain cotch 9]

When is he out of contract?
He could be a trade candidate for a 3rd rounder to get Kellaway.

We don’t need a third rounder for kellaway. We will match whatever bid comes (likely 40+) with the junk picks we have

 

[copthat]

In a good team he’s bottom 6/depth (like during our dynasty) but he’s fine for now and decision making is slowly improving.

Didnit they intro a rule no 40+ can be used for junk pics

Yeah. I'm sure trading out a 24 year old best 22 player for a 3rd round pick will improve our list. We don't need to trade Ross to get Kellaway.

 

[THE_GUN]

Kellaway wont get bid inside the top 35-40
Most likely 40+

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Jack you’re my boy and I love you but I can’t back you in anymore. You’re like that drive through I pass on the way home that always gives me the shits but I still go back just hoping that the cleanliness has improved.

I’ve gotta go my own way

 

[DustinsGuns]

I feel the same way.

Reckons he's probably a player who would be better in a better team

 

[tiger_tough]

Time for a spell

 

[thegcat]

Time for a spell

Time to delist!! A joke he is still on our list

 

[Punt Road Feral]

It’s a real shame because we were all hoping he’d come on but he just hasn’t.

Dimma was right for dropping him early days when it looked like he played well.

 

[beema limapep]

I dunno if I can defend his output anymore.

Skating on thin ice

 

[Barnzy]

I think he's had a mostly decent to good year. Was averaging 17 touches a game play as a half forward before today and using it pretty well.

He's second at the club for score involvements with 64 only behind Campbell's 73. But that might've been the worst game of his career. Shocker.

 

[The Mighty]

Time for a spell

At another club.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

The farce has to end. Either he goes or Yze does

 

[tiger_tough]

You should go

I heard the board are meeting to discuss exactly this in the morning.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

I’m not sure anymore what role he’s playing, but whatever he was doing today, he was doing it very poorly.

Projecting forward This side needs more leg speed, and when we get those players, he’ll be one of the first to make way.

Yep, I'm just not sure what role he actually has.

If he was a straight out accumulator, I'd get it. But he isn't.

If he was a hard nut clearance bloke, I'd get it. But he isn't.

If he was a lightning fast line breaker, I'd get it. But he isn't.

If he played tall and had great dukes in a contest, I'd get it. But he isn't.

If he bobbed up with 2 or 3 goals every other week and demanded a good defender, I'd get it. But he isn't.

He's just there. He doesn't get it much, and then he's untrustworthy when he does get it. He hasn't improved in the last five years, and his first game ever in 2019 was almost his best game ever.

Today, I honestly didn't even know he was out there until I spotted him running off the bench early in the third quarter. I thought he must've just got subbed in.

If we somehow got a 3rd round pick for him, I'd be equal parts surprised and thrilled.

time and patience has been given, unfortunately we keep waiting for that reward.
was pumped for him after round 1..
would have taken a bet, we would see so much more by now.
Frustrating..very frustrating

 

[Tiges1229]

Dud delist

 

[Ralll]

He's such a clean and direct user of the ball, but just doesn't have the outside pace or ball winning ability to impact when we don't have control.
