Jack Ross

He may have kicked 2 goals but Poulter had more of an influence on the game than he did.
Doesn’t pick up a player and along with Graham, is the only player with ok value we should trade for right deal
 
Not convinced he should play on the wing Ross is more of an inside mid
Prefer Banks on the wing
 
Yeah, it's bizarre. Ross is playing career best football, playing a challenging role well, and our coach is getting potted for not moving him into a role he struggled in previously.

It's not an easy call, I don't think. He has the frame and the composure to play inside but has never looked like an inside mid. As Stephen Fry once said, "I think the wish was Father of the thought". Which is to say, we'd love Cotch to take him under his wing and show him how to use his skills to get it and feed it out to the users. Cotch was a much more outside mid in his early years and reinvented himself, it seemed at the urging of Dimma. Could Ross reinvent himself? I believe the only way that would be possible is if both he and Cotch made a pact and made that their project.
 
Playing good footy at the minute. Despite what others seem to think, I think the wing is a good role for him and he is playing it well.

Im really happy that Ross has turned into a decent player. But when he is your BEST player....you have an issue or seven.
 
I think jR says a lot about where we are at , Jacks playing solid footy and has earnt his spot , hopefully he continues to improve

I hope he’s our next captain. He’ll thrive.

I said this last night. Think we need a young captain to take over the rebuild. His age and leadership ability is perfect. He is now performing on the field.

Didn't he say he wanted to be captain one day when he arrived at the club?

He’s a very good footballer and very mature. Just needed continuity as he always had it. He should be in the leadership group.

Is that meant to be a subtle dig at JR? I know you've not been a fan...
Not a dig at Jack, he’s definitely improved his game and I’d say hes in our best 15 players this season and to me Jacks still a fringe player type in a top 4 side , thats how I see we’re we are at
