Jack Ross

[AngryAnt]

He’s 187cm, 85kg which is bigger that Cotchin, Graham, Lambert, Prestia. Hardly undersized. Lacking aerobically? His latest summer report said his running has improved such that he is winning some of the trial. I’ll give you the kicking so I guess that’s one out of three.

yeah never thought of him as being "undersized" before. Shedda of 8 years ago, now that was undersized.

 

[UKTiger]

Put himself about nicely at the Hawks game today with a mix of skill using the ball well, hardness at the ball and good running. Still makes mistakes but worth his place in the 22.

 

[tigerdell]

At best solid.
Didn't show much though.
With no Graham or Lambert he is a persist.
If he gets a long run of games it will be interesting to see if he can elevate.

Martyn and Ross aren’t good enough. Slow with poor disposal

 

[tigerman]

Thought he was good yesterday, especially liked his tackling.

Ross or Pickett on the non-Kmac wing?

Pickett, but he seems to be out of favour at the moment, not sure why.

Pickett for mine
Ross is an inside mid he doesn’t appear to be suited to play wing

Ross or Pickett on the non-Kmac wing?

Neither have great disposal.
Ralphsmith coming in hot

Appears Stack played on a wing in the reserves. Perhaps he could make a run at the role?

The non-Kmac wing is one of our concerns atm imo.
Ross is an inside mid that is trying to build a motor for outside as the MC desperately try and find a role for him in the team.
He lacks the pace and skills for the wing role (no left foot, high up and under right foot).
Ralphsmith has the motor but not yet the body and experience.
Marlion is my preferred wingman but seems to be on the outer for some reason.
I like the trial of Stack on the wing in the ressies; he has oodles of x but the motor for wing is still a work in progress.
They are making both Marlion and Stack work hard for their spots pre-season but both need to be in our R1 side imo.

Pickett.

Pickett.

Why not Jayden Short? I like Ross, he's hard and plays to his role, BUT.....he has to stop telegraphing his kicks, way to easy to predict.

Too “short”. He’s not gonna take too many marks or out bustle an opponent or fill the hole too many times out on the wing Jayden I wouldn’t have thought.

 

[MD Jazz]

I'm not a fan but he had a good game yesterday. Be surprised if he is not in the side Rd 1.

 

[MB78]

Needs to play round 1 as an inside mid. Playing well enough and deserves an opportunity.

With Tigga coming back do you think Broad could have been trialled on the wing?

Looks like Stacky may have a say in that on his VFl form.

No. he is fantastic as a defender, and he and Grimes give us so much flexibility.

I would be amazed if Stack plays more than a few minutes on the wing at AFL level this year. too much running.
i would assume his VFL role was just to give him a run around and to get him involved.
