I owe Ross a small apology - I didn't want him in last night but he played quite a good game. Good on him - I hope he can continue that form.

He was actually SO good.
One moment, he knocked the ball to a teammates advantage as he was surrounded by Geelong players waiting to tackle him .
I thoight it was a real sign of maturity. It was him playing for the team and not for a game next week. It was so good

Kid has great composure and the ability to stand up in a tackle and distribute. Love that he is back in the side and will be interesting come finals if he stays in. Reckon Prestia will replace he or Graham if it comes to that.Really pleasing game from Ross last night. Did some telling and classy things in traffic and I think this bodes well.

Same here mate. I have been hard on the kid, not because i dont rate him, I always have. Just hard on him because I feel he lets himself down as he loses concentration when he has the ball hence he used to turn it over all the time, he is a better player then that. I was starting to believe, he would not be able to change that major flaw. How wrong I was, he was fantastic tonight, played to his strengths and was hungry for the contest. I also loved he kept his game simple and always was in the zone.
We have a player.
really happy for jack...ross, that is.
watched the replay. 1st half was exceptional - ball-use, pressure, tackling. 2nd half, despite not heaps of possession, rossy did everything without the ball that we needed him to - posters have mentioned tapping to teammates and the like.
probably out for dion (if he gets back) but a really encouraging game for a bloke who is still just 20 years old.

Has a bit of Selwood about him
That ducking, cheating campaigner, no way!
If anything he reminds of Prestia the most

Agree - thought he played well. I hope they now know that he is not a hb and they allow him to bulk up again and play midfield. He displayed qualities we need and deserves a good chance to be part of the new brigade

Let Cotch have a rest next week and give him a full game in midfield.
I think the same but wasn’t game enough to say. Luckily so far he hasn’t developed the head-duck affliction.
I really liked Ross' game and he stays in my 22 anyhow until Prestia is back. Rest Cotch along with Lynch & Soldo out? Just to get game time into Ross? Yeah...nah. We drop this game we end up 5th for what benefit? Ross's development? Great composed game this week.

Was his last game prior to this one against Port ? Pretty sure that night was defensively poor.
Would love to know stats for his defensive acts (or whatever they are called) against Cats compared to the Port game- like chalk and cheese I’m guessing

And from a bad haircut at the start of the season
Reckon he’s listened to coaches and hung onto the ball a fraction longer to make better decisions with it , good signs last night , best he’s played since early doors

Cheers.
The Port stats are surprising. I was under the impression that’s why he was dropped ie defensive pressure.
What’s the old saying- never assume- makes an ass out of u and me

No talking about the Port game this year over there.
From memory he got dropped after that game.
