Player Watch #5 Jack Ross

[TigerImposter]

Given our midfield weakness IMO, dropping Ross would be madness.I thought he was rushed in and would be underdone, the kid is a jet

Yes and I’m thinking the same with Pickett, but the club has been getting a lot of returns right after 2017. I never thought Graham would play a game that year considering he had no preseason and still was in and out of the vfl with niggles, but they timed it to perfection. I’m not sure if Dimma is trolling us , but he seems to think Pickett is ready to go. We’ve seen nothing yet.

 

[TigerImposter]

Our midfield this September needs to include Cotchin, Dusty, Ross, Graham, Bolton, Shedda and Prestia at the very least. There’s class, defensive accountability, speed and creativity there.

Would absolutely love to see that midfield this year!

Add awareness and brute strength.

 

[Bojangles17]

Can't see him getting dropped. There will be a shuffling of the deck chairs to get the two champs in, but I can't see Ross being dumped. He plays the inside bull role so well already and feel his inclusion just makes players like Cotch and Martin even more dangerous.

He won’t be bloody dropped , they’re rolling the dice with him now to get some miles into him before finals

 

[CholEstrol]

Safe. Dimma loves him. Adds a different dimension to the midfield.

You sure Ross needs miles in his legs Bo?!? Looked very good on Sunday after all that time off in the VFL...killed them scum! Might need a rest!

Maybe Lambert too, what do you reckon?

Lol I agree with you 100%.

For some reason I always forget lambo. It’s so weird because he is such a very important player for us.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Lambo is always the one you forget. Then go "yeah, he's a star, love him."

Don't know why

 

[T4P]

Most of the discussion so far has been about Stack or Pickett replacing Graham.

As a pure like-for-like switch, Rossy would be best placed.

And boy is that exciting.

Need to watch the VFL GF and have a look to see who deserves the position but im leaning towards SS
Kids a match winner and bigtime player.

But if Ross has a blinder then he comes in,Same goes for Pickett

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Think they will go with Ross unless they don't think he has full confidence in his movements after the bad foot injury.

 

[tiger_tough]

What's the chances he gets rested this weekend?

 

[Marcel Proust]

Lol I agree with you 100%.

For some reason I always forget lambo. It’s so weird because he is such a very important player for us.

Its cause Martin, Cotchin, Prestia, Edwards are slightly more important

Huge week for Lambert against a deep gws midfield, hopefully he shines like he always does

Big week for the selection committee and Ross too

How's his form been in the vfl ?.

 

[Grrr]

How's his form been in the vfl ?.

Thought he was good last game without being dominant. Will bring similar heat to Graham if asked to play that roll.

 

[T4P]

Graham officially out, Stack not training. It's theoretically between him and Pickett, but surely Ross gets the call up.

Excited to see what he will bring!

Pickett's game on the weekend get's him the gig!

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Ross > Pickett

Ross is proven. Pickett hasn't played a game. It's a Grand Final ffs.

 

[Morro]

Pickett's game on the weekend get's him the gig!

Given they rested Ross, that would be a massive slap in the face

 

[Spluff]

I would back him in, even though he hasn't been near his early season form.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Given they rested Ross, that would be a massive slap in the face

Agree would be tough to handle...

 

[Rasha]

Can you believe Jack's kicked 3 goals in the grand final?
Jack Ross, that is!

 

[DontArgue4]

"Can you believe, hes kicked 3 goals in a grand final..........


Jack Ross, that is!"

 

[db26]

Had that bad game against eagles. Ross loves the contested stuff in and under and frees up Martin and Cotchin etc works hard to.

pickett's bog performance complicates things. but Ross is like for like
