Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

[UncleBob]

Stepped up and is having a ripper year.
By far our most consistent 4-quarter performer.

If his form continues, I can see a podium B&F finish.

He would have to be leading as of now, surely.

Ross's average player rating from his last 6 games is above 16. That is fringe top 15 players in the AFL level.

He seems to have total confidence in his body, his ball use, and his ability to run out games. Something like Richmond's version of Touk Miller is how Ross is playing now, and also how he is shaping in terms of his role in the list build.

See if he sustains the level but if he gets anywhere near this longer term we have come up with a cornerstone mid for the next 6 years or so.

He doesn’t drop his head and is cracking in siren to siren which has to be tough given the circumstances

Of the other senior players (and maybe this is a little unfair) I think only Vlastuin is playing with similar drive

I think Miller is too.

 

[Profop]

I think Miller is too.

I think at times Miller is using the excuse of his role to just stick with his man and not roll off to try an impact some contests for fear of getting burnt

It’s understandable and I’m not potting him for it but a successful team wouldn’t be doing that

 

[SweetD]

In a fairer world he's getting all of Hoppers CBA's. The one problem is Hopper cannot play in any other position so he's kinda locked into it. A shame! Taranto/Ross/Rotating kid with speed is our best setup atm

It's understandable the way the ball keeps getting pumped in there. I wouldn't mind him with the ball in his hands more as he is as good a kick as anyone in our backline.

 

[sante]

Hope he wins the B&F

 

[captain cotch 9]

El Capitano (once Nank steps down)

 

[Hoos]

Hope he wins the B&F

If he keeps this form up he will.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Showing none of that impressive form when he played agin PA in PA...
These days seems a battler albeit with smarts!
And he is also our battler!

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

Playing well...In a premiership team, he'd be the 3rd/4th mid. Assisting the two to three A graders. Now to get those A graders to 50 games!

 

[THE_GUN]

Hope he wins the B&F

I honestly can not see a challenger to him winning the B & F this year

TT maybe. But Ross looks like it is his right now.

 

[RoaringTiger]

This bloke is a warrior

 

[THE_GUN]

Has become a real leader for the kids

 

[Nostradumbass]

He's been great this year

 

[59Stanley]

Has morphed into a great Richmond player well done

 

[tiger_tough]

He's a stud.

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

Close to my favourite player at this point (he might even be). What a fantastic run of form. He's a warrior

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Another really solid game. You can actually see he's starting to feel like a good player too.

It going to be an interesting few years because from the few fit players we have left, several of them are finding surprisingly high levels.

Chief amongst those is Jack Ross. But Campbell, Retschko, Green, Miller and probably even Balta are starting to string some genuinely good performances together.

None of those are first round draft picks, and we have plenty of those to come back into the team.

But Ross, what a season he is putting together. Where he lacks a single outstanding feature in his game he now just seems to be a really good all round player.

loved when he belted parish for the cheap shot. Passion and support for his teamamtes. What you want to see from a skipper/leader.

But within the limits of not causing a turnover free kick, which is a skill in itself.

 

[Jozzy]

Having a wonderful season, keeps his head down and works so hard. Deserves all the credit he gets!
