It's weird people talk up RCD Dow etc when Ross is miles better than both.
It's a shame our team is so strong because he's a serious talent. We need to find a way to play him.
Reckon dow and RCD eying off that spot

Played out of position mainly on the wing. He is a centre square mid, but hard to get a gig. No way they were going to give he and RCD much time in the middle against the doggies midfield in such and important game. He has an elite handball that puts team mates into space and great vision, is never hurried. He's good enough, but its a hard gig getting a midfield birth in the good sides. Needs a run of games.Have to say I'm worried about him. He looked like Jack Graham mk2 in his first year and has struggled since. Has probably been held back a bit being the sub and training off half back, but at the same time doesn't do much when he does get a full game.
Lambert prestia and Martin missing was the perfect chance to step up. He didn't.Played out of position mainly on the wing. He is a centre square mid, but hard to get a gig.

If that.He is not very good.
Good foot soldier and that’s about it.
He was roughing it out on the bottom of packs and fighting pretty hard in the last quarter. I didn’t notice him live but thought he made a contribution when I watched the replay. I think he had two score involvements with nice passes into the 50 (1st and last could be wrong on this). Nice for a bloke that can’t kick. Give him a bit more time I reckon and find out for sure.If that.
Really had to make his mark last night. Barely sighted.
you guys are a bit tough on the kid , we dont know what role he was given and what position he was playing
im giving him time
Well to be fair he is being played out of position, he didn't spent much time in the midfield. Played mainly wing and I doubt fellow wingman MacIntosh would have had many more possessions. But he used the ball well when he got it.Lambert prestia and Martin missing was the perfect chance to step up. He didn't.
He played full time mid in his first season. So far this year he has played wing and half forward with a small amount of time on the ball.He was roughing it out on the bottom of packs and fighting pretty hard in the last quarter.

i definitely agree that he showed more in his first few games
Saints will come sniffing thenHe is not very good.

He wasn't played out of position at all. He started the game in the middle as a first choice mid.Well to be fair he is being played out of position, he didn't spent much time in the midfield.

And how long was he in there for? Young bloke playing against A grade midfields doesn't find it early then off to the wing.He wasn't played out of position at all. He started the game in the middle as a first choice mid.
He couldn't find the ball at all so we swapped him and Pickett. Exact same thing happened against Port.

The change was made at half time. Dimma alluded to it in his press conference. Said we needed more mature players in the middle, so he moved Pickett in there and Edwards played more inside too.And how long was he in there for?

He had 7 centre bounce attendances 4 in the first qtr most by any player on our team for that qtrAnd how long was he in there for? Young bloke playing against A grade midfields doesn't find it early then off to the wing.
