Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

[getthefooty]

Has had a good start to his career but he’s a B grader at best. Another Jack, Jack Graham that is.

Absolutely terrible call. Looks to have genuine A grade ability for mine. Ability in traffic and skills by foot are way ahead of Graham (not that I’ve completely written him off to never be an A grader either.)

 

[Bojangles17]

Agree , I’m confident we can cover nank as he hasnt had the impact of previous seasons , Ross has given us something we lacked in the middle , we have to find that and hope that rcd can pick up where jack left off

 

[TigerImposter]

I should have killed that black cat that was floating around PRO during the preseason.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

AFL NOW HAVE AN EXCUSE NOT TO GIVE JACK A RISING STAR NOMINATION.
I'M SURE THEY WILL FIND ANOTHER GEELONG OR CARLTON KNUCKLE HEAD TO GIVE IT TO.

IM WRITING IN CAPS BECAUSE I'M MAD AS HELL AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

Cold take imo

Hes shown a hell of a lot, his ceiling is much higher than B grade

People said the same things about guys like Lachie Neale and Tom Mitchell. Ross will never be as good as Dusty or Fyfe but he can definitely be the next Lachie Neale

Lol, I think you unjustifiably bagging Graham and Ross.

Both should be better than B grade, I know Graham is and I think Ross has shown enough he can develop more to be a really good player going forward in terms of development scope!


The team and list at the club in particular is going strong if posters are unnecessarily bagging these players on performance atm!!

Ralphy mentioned he could be out for up to 12 weeks.

 

[sante]

I’m not bagging him. He’s had a great start to his career.

But like Graham, they’re ceiling for improvement isn’t as high as say a Balta or Bolton. Both should be very good servants for us but won’t be stars

Just because they are different types and do not have explosive pace like Petrocucille or the all round class, ability and skill of Sydney Stack does not mean they cannot be very good players for us better than average.

Players can be very good in different ways. Graham is already a gun, and Ross might not end up a superstar but he could be better than the likes of a Cunnington for example

I don’t think Graham is a gun. He’s a good footballer. B grade at best.

I think Grahams ceiling is B+

Ross is definitely A grade potential, has different tools than Graham

Wouldnt surprise me

His injury is a nasty one

The start to his career both in a statistical and pure sense is ahead of Martins yet you have him with a low improvement ceiling ??????

Ralphy mentioned he could be out for up to 12 weeks.

The bad news is that is s**t!!! Seriously this getting farcical.

The only silver lining is that I'm going to lock him in for next years rising star.

Is he moving clubs ?

#risingstarRFCfreezone

definitely not take it to the bank

Super Pissed that he's injured - had him for this years rising star at $151 back in March.
before #risingstarRFCfreezone.

I can still cash out for a 2.50 return. How long is he out for do we know?
I should just take as it's unlikely that he'll get a nomination even if he came back next week.

ross is pretty much Titchell but better

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Has had ankle issues previously but the other one apparently. 8-10 weeks and Burge has said being a first year player we’ll be conservative - just about season over if we go down the no risk path.

 

[Shazza_]

now we have no midfielders in our team + no nanke who was a large midfielder.

prob get spanked again soon

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

Ouch....

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Should be back in 2-3 weeks.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Skate boarding around the rehab center with tross as we post...
