Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

[GhostofJimJess]

Please put him on Daicos this week.

I’ll punch my Di*k if Daicos runs around by himself and has 40

Who comes out of the starting centre combo? Meatball? Doubtful it'll be TT or Hops.

The last 3 weeks Prestia has been average. More important to start with our best in-form mids, and Ross after the last two weeks has overtaken Prestia.

Prestia had his lowest CBAs for the season on the weekend.

Personally, I'd start him in the middle with Ross and Hopper and play Taranto almost permanently forward.

Maybe. Prestia has been very fumbly and not particularly effective of late and Taranto pretty solid all round. But when you kick 3, it means you can roll forward more for sure.

’s tackling efforts and skills from the weekend

Kane Cornes is not pleased with jack Ross’s tackling efforts and skills from the weekend

He should definitely tell the coaches who had him 5th BOG and Champion Data who had him 3rd BOG. It is very important they hear how displeased Kane Cornes is with Jack Ross's tackling efforts and skills from the weekend.

I don’t think Kane takes constructive criticism too well unfortunately

Prestia is not great in tight anymore and spreads from the stoppage like a turtle. Low CBA is a good thing

Besides Ross has had games of 8, 9, 8 and 11 tackles this season. He is generally one of our better tackling mids, and easily our most creative mid.

Cornes likes to make ill-informed statements after he maybe noticed something once or twice and then makes a statement about it. Pretty easy to find evidence when trawling through replays to back up and argument. In fact they all do that.

be in the leadership group next year? I feel like he’s at that age now where he should be putting his hand up for it

He barely best 22 and you’re suggesting he should be in the leadership group. Get a grip.

No

What’s your point

 

[Moppey]

If he stays and im not sure we should keep him then its as a mid and for me its for depth.

For me our older mids in Taranto, Hopper, and Prestia are simply still better than him in the role if its about playing some experience to help the kids then im playing those three in front of him.

We then have a serious need to get games into the following players McAuliffe, Lalor, Smillie, Hotton and hopefully our two top 5 picks are used on mids. Im not playing JR in front of any of those named above.

I would keep him and Dow for one more year for depth in case of injury simply because even if we bought in 4 or 5 mids the numbers imo would still be low.

We do need some quality general forwards but with Tom Lynch to lead two of the younger talls it leaves three spots for small/medium forwards and mid/fwds.

Atm Algar, Hotton, Mansell Campbell who i hope is developed as a winger are all in front of him imo. then there is Rioli and Green and we also can rotate Lalor Smillie and Taranto thru there. i prefer all these options to Ross in the general forward role.

In many ways he has become superfluous to needs. Prioritise youth with a higher ceiling but keep him for now until we can build up the numbers.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

thought hed finally clicked round 1 but then went right back to being a battler. this will be the year him and dow are pushed out of the 22 for good. Has had a lot of time and chances to reach his potential, I guess this is it.

Prestia, no chance. I've been a great supporter of Prestia, but besides his first game he did nothing but fumble all year.

Ross for his lack of relative progression, or heights we'd hoped for, still led the club for score/goal assists, something especially from our midfield we so lacking in. And he uses the ball so much better than Taranto and Hopper, who for their ability to do the hard stuff I acknowledge, are probably the two worst midfielders in the league for ball use.

Sure keep him another year, until the youth emerge. But it is a line ball who is better going forward, I guess we will find out next season.

That short shouldn’t be in leadership group either

 

[lizard man]

Was a good game from Rossy … more of this please

 

[GhostofJimJess]

A very big year for Jack with contract expiring after 2026.

Make or break imo, not just for his spot at Tigerland but as an AFL footballer.

Yes it will be a big year for Ross
end of contract and a free agent there will be clubs looking at him for sure
West Coast & Bombers and possibly Port Adelaide

Ross is definitely an AFL player. Just not champion level.

Reckon he has proven himself to be a B grade AFL footballer. Very in demand. Lots of clubs would love someone like Ross.

He's a good player to fit in around our rotations.
