Looked very clean and straight with his disposals last night bar the first one. I like him and hope he becomes a starting 22 player before a few players getting a game on their name.Should be in the starting 22 next week.

Disagree. Ross is a gun in the making and he'd get a game at pretty much any other club. Timing is everything and unfortunately he's hit a Tiger team that could be the best ever.
By round 3 it will just be a sub. Use however you like.Yes, I posted in favour of this new sub rule for concussion only. But AFL introduced it on-the-run and last minute, for any injury type.
So clubs will be looking to bend the rules to get their fresh player on once the opposition get to activate theirs. Again putting medicos in an invidious position.
I can see a lot of - "We were fairly sure X had pinged a hammy, but after scans next day, it turns out to be just awareness ..."
Its fair because both teams get it.It highlights the flaw with the new rule. A team that gets a fresh player on late from an injury gets a huge boost. How does that make it fair?
Standing on the bench he looked super solid. Brick outhouse.View attachment 11696I'll just leave this here..
They should have left it as a concussion sub only with mandatory 12 days for the player subbed out, but I suspect it will be 23rd man sub for any purpose before long.Its fair because both teams get it.
And it will be used every match.
Meh rule, totally bogus implementation
Neither team activated their sub last night - second game with new sub provision, so rules look like they could be serious.Its fair because both teams get it.
And it will be used every match.
Meh rule, totally bogus implementation
The cotch replacement when cotch is done or needs to rest his body, the question is, can ross and cotch play in the same team come finals time
Would love to see Jack get selected (surely) against Port and take that attitude into the game.Can't see any report mentioned. Loving the words I read below. Get him in!
The fact there were just two goals kicked in the first quarter was not through lack of want or desire, and Jack Ross was the poster boy for both.
After being the medical sub for the opening two rounds of the AFL season, Ross looked intent on making up for lost game time.
Ross mauled Levi Greenwood at the opening bounce, he then sought body contact from anyone wearing black and white.
The unyielding midfielder slotted the opening goal of the game after being rewarded for his unflinching attack on the ball and the man.
Ross muscled his way past two Collingwood defenders to draw a free kick for high contact and then converted his set-shot.
The midfield maestro finished the game with two goals, after a thumping goal from outside 50 in the last quarter.
