Michael Ross never really got a run at AFL level. Coming from Garfield in the Gippsland region, Ross played for Warragul and the Gippsland Power, impressing in the 2010 TAC Cup Grand Final as the Power's best. He played as a half-back flanker who could push into the midfield, and was drafted late in the 2010 draft. After a strong 2011 with Bendigo, he was rewarded with two games late in the season. His 2012 was crippled by injury, and he didn't play another game before being delisted. Despite being a promising prospect, and talk of being re-rookied, nothing eventuated. Today he's plying his trade for Pascoe Vale in the EDFL.

The little I saw of him, I thought he looked alright.

From memory he got 18 or so possessions on his debut against the Pies, but struggled against Sydney.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Good bloke. Unlucky footballer.

 

[eth-dog]

My boy before Gregory. He was a less good version of Gleeson so I can understand why he was delisted

 

[Ashton Agar]

He was pretty highly rated wasn't he?

 

[Kakkle]

Didn't play in a winning game sadly
