Our version of a Jayden Stephenson from Collingwood?he's an x-factor forward moreso than an endurance winger.

No.Our version of a Jayden Stephenson from Collingwood?
No.
He’s a rangy type. Long armed awkward type, but with smarts.
Think Jarod Grant from the Dogs/Suns.
How big are his hands though?Small torso, long legs.
Not much of him, but he's a clever footballer.
Doesn't seem to have much special, but just bobs up and kicks goals.

Homie's gotta eat 4000 calories a day for 12 months before he's ready to be considered for AFL.
This may be true, however there are plenty of skinny rakes getting the job done at AFL level at the moment. Despite his small stature he does look strong in the contest at times, looks can be deceiving. Some more muscle certainly wouldn't hurt though, he'll have to rely on his ability until that may come and if it does we could have a very very good player on our hands.

I reckon the X man would be smashing 8000 calories a day at the moment! He has been put out to a good pasture.Tim O'Brien?
Xavier Ellis (before retirement)?
Jackson Ross at 193cm and maybe 80kegs... against AFL tackles and pressure... not good... Oppositions players will target him, hurt him, and maybe end his career by destroying his confidence (e.g. Watts). He is IMO our second best VFL talent. Let him get bigger, stronger, and emotionally more powerful while he dominates games in the VFL. Let him do a full Hawthorn apprenticeship.
The Hawks are not winning anything of worth this year. Development is everything and Jackson Ross is just too skinny. Give him time.
Plenty of talent has been wasted by spending too long in the seconds when they're showing form worthy of a senior debut - it's not a case of Watts where he debuted in an absolute cauldron with the weight of an entire club's expectations on his shoulders.
He's not much slighter than Jaidyn Stephenson, he's the most in form goal kicker at VFL level and has improved drastically. If the form is there, and the spot is open, play him.
Could name plenty of skinny players who played and thrived when they were young, Gunston, Fyfe...
It's about mindset.
Ross need to play at some point during the back half of the year to experience the AFL style of play and learn what he needs to work on over the preseason.
Ain't this the truth. Our AFL fwd line is like a washing machine. Jacko would feel like he was playing a different game if he was in the AFL side. Only have had to watch Wingard the last 2 weeks scratching his head about what is going on around him to understand how different Box Hill is to Hawthorn. Was the same last year when Mitch Lewis played games. He couldn't play the way he did at box hill and ended up lost. Incredibly frustrating.
Box Hills ball movement is textbook. Brilliant this year.
