Same thought. I was hoping he'd step up more today.Good first half and was thinking he’d turned it around but like the entire team pathetic for the last quarter and a half.

He'll get a game next week though no doubt.That kick to Lynch inside 50 is all you need to know that he isn’t AFL standard. Wide open and he absolutely butchered it.
Balanced post Jack. Like many Ross was great to half time. He faded but it was still a reasonable performance & slightly more tolerant with fade outs from younger players. Thought it was a step forward.This was a tough night. Better players than Ross were exposed. I thought Ross was ok. Comparatively.
Agree TOO.Balanced post Jack. Like many Ross was great to half time. He faded but it was still a reasonable performance & slightly more tolerant with fade outs from younger players. Thought it was a step forward.
Yes that was a stinkerThat kick to Lynch inside 50 is all you need to know that he isn’t AFL standard. Wide open and he absolutely butchered it.
Honestly that kick was such an easy kick to hit. You've got a big guy like Lynch in that much space, while you have plenty of time to deliver it. Anyone that has played some footy knows how easy a kick that is.That kick to Lynch inside 50 is all you need to know that he isn’t AFL standard. Wide open and he absolutely butchered it.
McInerney at Swans taken with the very next pick. Maybe Schulz and Hind as well.So in his draft year who is a better player taken after him?
Yep. Best to persist now that opportunities are opening up.Balanced post Jack. Like many Ross was great to half time. He faded but it was still a reasonable performance & slightly more tolerant with fade outs from younger players. Thought it was a step forward.
we got no other choice really. Have to persist with him and Dow and need to get games into Sonsie, RCD and Stack.Yep. Best to persist now that opportunities are opening up.
The notion that he was ever an inside bull banker is bulldust. Wishful thinking. Like Cripps on the wing? fair dinkum.we got no other choice really. Have to persist with him and Dow and need to get games into Sonsie, RCD and Stack.
Ross had massive potential, unfortunately our development has ruined him. Trying to turn a pure inside mid to a running more versatile player has de-programmed his ability to win the contest. It's like playing Cripps on the wing so he can add more strings to his bow. Our coaching staff have to take some blame here.
Agree. We have nothing but time to lose. Just get the experience in these players and let them develop naturally through the 1sts. Sounds rough but even if we lose, it's the best way to speed things up a bit.we got no other choice really. Have to persist with him and Dow and need to get games into Sonsie, RCD and Stack.

It's understandable to an extent as we won 3 flags without any real clearance specialists and placed high importance on running transition mids that can cover ground and obviously wanted to develop Ross into one also.
Yep. Another non-contested style of game again. 16 possessions. Only 4 of them contested.The notion that he was ever an inside bull banker is bulldust. Wishful thinking. Like Cripps on the wing? fair dinkum.
I can see why we're playing him, but just can't see any evidence that he'll make it. Not quick or skilled enough, and no tricks. Not terrible, but not much good. Found wanting when the whips are cracking.

Still 10 times better than jake aartsYep capable of winning a maiden at Pakenham but never going to measure up to city class.
