Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

[tony__montana]

How did he go today?

Bit rusty with disposal but his attack on the ball was super and was moving well. Full gamenext week and back the following week for mine

How's your ankle injury Shazza.....?

Kankle more like it.

Hey I resemble Dimma's ankles!

This guy has become one of my favourites. Love his attack on the ball. Hoping he is in the senior team come finals time.

I know but who does he replace?
2 weeks ago I would have easily said Jack Graham but grand final aside Graham has played his best football the last 2 week's and hes adding possesions to his game as well as being a great pressure player.

Yeah, it's a tough one. Graham was excellent last night.

He’d offer more around the ball than Caddy did.

Replaces Caddy. His new role makes no sense.

I agree, defensive winger? Mcintosh suits that role so much more as he has pace and runs all day, two things Caddy lacks that are essential to the role. Caddy is a great player, but he is a forward who can pinch hit in the middle.

I think the idea is that Caddy is an excellent mark for intercepting and is much cleaner than McIntosh.

But I agree, McIntosh much more damaging in the role. Caddy is too inside

Great game from young Rossy, first game back after a half of VFL footy, incredible numbers for such a young guy, even more so given his long stint on sidelines.

Hes in everything, last qtr was the only one getting clearances, will be in his element come finals!

Early stages, but ghee this kid can play. His movement and attack on the footy and man reminds me so much of Joel Selwood's.

Except he's bigger, stronger, and a better kick.

GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

He's just so strong over the ball, fearless, composed, good turn of speed, makes the right decisions and kicks 60-metre drop punts to position. He would have been a steal with our first pick, let alone at 43. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Vic Metro selectors for pushing up bottom age kids ahead of him last year, because if he'd showed his stuff on the national stage we would have been lucky if he lasted to pick 20.

Gonna love the melts when he gets the rising star nomination this week

would have been top 10 imo, no joke

has shown some serious skill in his first 6 games, so strong and composed

 

[DontArgue4]

discounting the game against freo where he got injured early, he is averaging..

21.2 disposals, 8 contested (4th among rising stars)
4 clearances (2nd among rising stars, 1st in centre clearances)
4 tackles
4 inside 50's (1st among rising stars)
337m gained (5th among rising stars)

 

[joelsyt]

Hopefully we can do the four peat with rising star nominations this year, he should have had his nomination earlier on in the year.

Will be criminal if he doesn’t get one over the next three weeks

He may well have been. It's a strong draft class but he could well be one of the best of it.

Imagine winning a flag and in the next two years adding Higgins, Coleman-Jones, Balta, Naish, Ross, Stack, and Pickett. With signs from RCD, Turner, English, and Miller, and kids you already had like Bolton, Soldo and Chol coming on. It's ridiculous.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Gun. Better than Walsh

 

[Cotchy9]

Forgot how good this kid was with how long he was out for. Was also slightly worried how he’d go coming back in after only a half. Those fears were soon put to rest. He was top shelf yesterday

Might end up being the best young kid on our list

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

He’s like a hybrid of Cotch, Dusty, Shedda and Lambo.

So great to watch!

 

[eays]

He reminds me a bit of a young (pre-injuries) mark coughlan

Who reminds me a bit of a young Cripps!

 

[TigerImposter]

What ever I’ve written in the JGTI thread just change his name with JRTI and copy and paste into here . Another man child beast. I think once Dusty and Cotchin come in our clearance issues will be sorted out.
