Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

[Harrison Bergeron]

Why would it be easier to drop a superior player than an inferior player?

I must say you type pretty well for someone clearly afflicted with dyslexia.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Which is exactly why he won't get dropped. Ever. Same goes for McIntosh and especially Graham.

They didn't play in VFL flags or win a Normy Goss Medal.

 

[voorhees]

terrible call to drop Ross, he's the one youth player who should be selected ever week...
We won't make finals, so dropping him is detrimental for the coming years.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

No future in Pickett 32 best days are behind him we all know where he will be next year.

Inflation

 

[Roachy8]

he is gone

You seem very sure - must have some inside knowledge

Where is he going and what will we get for him?

 

[Tango67]

He was terrible against the lions, he was slow and and couldnt stick a tackle and has poor foot skills he is just a battler

 

[Truetiger]

Maybe so, but he wasn’t alone in that.

 

[Boston tiger]

Was part of our little resurgence. Thought he might have been safe for a little longer.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Can’t really remember his game v the lions stats wise he looked good
Maybe he is going back to the vfl to get some midfield mins before coming back into the 1s and into the midfield?

He’s contracted for next year so doubt he’s going anywhere

Wasn’t the worst that’s for sure

Wasn’t the worst that’s for sure

Only thing that I can think of are his tackle numbers being low and Mini did say in his presser this week that he was very disappointed with the pressure we applied to the lions and how it lacked

His pressure acts quite high from a numbers standpoint but maybe he had a few coach killler moments where he gave his man to much space and didn’t attack the player when he should of

 

[Tiger V]

Ross should not have been drop; he is just starting to find he feet and has played his role well.

 

[Del65166]

I don't think it's the end of Ross. In fact I think he will be sub. He needs a retirement or 2 to be best 22. Especially as Hugo, Sonsie didn't come on this year..


Is 4 changes in the forward line too much.
Pickett on the wing where he plays way better.

l am happy with the ins. Kmac and Graham just don't get dropped.

He wasn't alone there.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Ross going out and MRJ coming is one of the most ridiculous selection decisions the club has come up with in
Recent years and that is saying something .
One thing that was hoped with Dimma leaving was improved selections which occurred in the short term but has gone beyond what was previously experienced now S

 

[Grrr]

What game were you watching? He was solid when the rest were horrid. His kicking is a strong part of his game these days, it was poor to average but credit where credit is due. I don't see him as a battler at all, he holds the ball and has the confidence to do so, which too me is a sign of a good player.

Even if his game was poor, it was 80% better than Graham, Pickett and McIntosh's games.

Yeah, nah
He is a midfielder, not a wing, he should go back to VFL and start racking up 35-40 and win a spot in the AFL centre square (like Miles once did).

Enough gifting games. Bash the door down Jack, JRTI. Bauer did it!

200+ game player and 26 when Prestia retires, force the meatball into retirement early son.

About time the VFL players stood up and got some our Premiership pretenders dropped ffs.

I mean they play totally different positions

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Yep it’d be like picking Cumberland when two midfielders are out injured and dropping him the week they become available again .

 

[chrstphrwnstn]

Ooh, he card read good.

 

[Bojangles17]

Dropping him just seems like the easy option for the coaches …. Why not drop macintosh for a change

If I knew the answer I could rule the world

 

[Bojangles17]

Well if they’re too thick to realise that it was evident by r4 that the same olds could no longer get it done then we may need a clean sweep

o
Ross and kmac sat out the VFL Grand final expecting to play instead of Graham.
Pickett had a blinder and the rest is history.

Game gifting is a little strong when he has been consistently in our best across a season.

Won't hurt him to go back having said that and so as you say, become a legit midfielder who gets his nose dirty, he has been made to play outside and if he can turn into an inside mid, then we have a player. Besides, who else is there.
