you won't find any sheds vilification originating from my IP.
Unhappily, I'll go on the record
declaring that Jack Ross is not good enough for AFL football.
the wiring from his brain to his hand and feet is too convoluted, he withers under pressure,
and he cant kick to his team advantage very well.
Jake Aarts is wired very similarly
Was being facetious, Merv. But his lace-out turnover under no pressure coming out of defence, when he hit the one Carlton player between two Tigers on the chest, precipitated the avalanche. We were under siege before that, defences breached after. Didn't really cost us the match given the one-way traffic thereafter, but it was disastrous in the moment.
Jack played ok. But he ain't the answer, especially on the wing. I don't care about his 20m time, he's football slow. Time to go in the guts and get his hands dirty.
If we are going to play him the guts is the only option. Sink or swim. His disposal is not good enough to play on the wing. He butchered it too much last night.
Let’s see what he’s got with an extended run in the guts. Dimma seems to be getting a little stubborn with some of his selection decisions.
He was good, was just totally gassed and cramping up, which is to be expected was a high pressure game
Yeah, regardless of midfield depth we will not regret Gibcus over Hobbs.
Before he got injured in that Freemantle game some people on here compared him to cotch and he was flying, after that injury I don't know what happen. He looks slow now, but one of main things is his kicking it lacks any sort of penetration they seem to go about 35M long and about 35M up. Disappointing, I thought he was going to be a star.
@wigglyworm,
If the current choice for whipping boy is
A) jack ross
B) jake aarts
c) marlion pickett, or
D) a +/or b
I need about as much think time as dusty in a gf with dangerfield hanging on his hips

that was a shocking pass, but generally he played the wing role well. He stayed wide and gave as an outlet. he was 3rd in mts gained so clearly ran and kicked long, and was equal leader in score assists (6) so his disposals werent all wasted.
but yes, i am not convinced he is a wing. KMac will come back next week, and surely Pickett will stay, so Ross should get a chance in the centre square, even if he does still spend some time on the wing.
Has had 20 disposals or more in 3 of his last 4 AFL games. Small sample but appears to be building nicely.
You are not convinced Ross is a winger, but think he played “well” there based on some long bow stats. Lol
My eye tells me Ross goes to ground too often, fails to make quick decisions, overcooks delivery by hand and kicks floaters at any distance.
Yeah nah
Fan and have backed him but was really poor today. Just seems lost out there and obviously didn’t spend much time in the guts.
Ralphsmith has similar composure...but has speed.
If he does not gain composure no point being in the team.
