I honestly can't believe the negativity around Ross. Will be the cornerstone of our midfield for the next ten years.
A lot of doubters will be made to look silly.

Probably the same ones that thought Rance was delist material.
Agree. Got some work to do, but think there’s still something there.
Hope I'm made to look silly. I don't think he's a bum, solid depth player.
More than happy to be proven wrong. But on what I have seen if he is our midfield’s cornerstone for a decade, we’ll be in strife.
The key for me though is that to be the cornerstone of the midfield, that is where he needs to play.
I couldn't really work out what his role was the other night, but he didn't get much of a go in the center square for mine.
We looked a lot better when he moved out and Bolton moved in. If anything, Bolton is more likely to be that cornerstone.
Probably the same folk also that thought Edwards & Houli should of got the flick too when they weren't playing so well early days
I don't argue about his commitment, BUT I do think his kicking skills are very average.
I would say cotchins isn't much better atm. Which is why i believe we can't play both in the same team, i see them as the same type of player, however cotchins hunger for the man and ball is so much better.
He attended 6 centre clearances in the first half but 0 in the second , he actually started on the wing 10 times in the second half..
He seems to be a pure inside midfielder who lacks the speed and class to play on the wing/flank so if their is not a spot in the midfield
for him why bother? Just wasting his and everyone elses time..
Would have been better off bringing in you know who who has the speed to play flank/forward at least..

My main concern , with him , graham , Cotchin in there all at once it looks a bit one paced and that part is not exactly his fault
I remember a couple of years ago there was a theory here he competes with graham for a spot
It still feels a bit like that to me when Prestia comes back

Which considering our woeful handballing as a whole was a pleasure to watch. The number of times we missed targets or simply handballed to opponents was frustrating to watch.
yes, but he undermined a lot of his good work by going all Florence Nightingale and assisting him to his feet.
Ive been thinking about our centre square set up over the weekend,
and im going to share a controversial thought .......
our old brigade is so good and reliable, they are stifling the kids (and a man's) development.
we should be setting up with $hai, Jack G, Jack Ross (not at the same time), Marlion, Dow, Stackman, bakes
more often,
and win premierships with a succession plan in place.
sheds on a wing, cotchy on a HBF, Dusty at FF for longer stretches.
Not too much wrong with a touch of Florence Nightingale after the offence. What were your thoughts after the Clench nailed Flossy n the Crowbait in consecutive games n showed absolutely nil respect or concern on either occasion?
100% agree with your thoughts on our midfield set up n exposing our next gen kids to more of it.
Things are pretty crook when T-Mas is schooling the big Ease on things fluffy.
Might need to get my head read
Can’t say Im overly impressed how he gets used. Outside utility he isn’t.
If he‘s not considered good enough to play inside mid in the seniors then play him in there in the VFL.
The fluffing around is not helping development.
That said it could also be highlighting his limitations & in a rapidly evolving game that may well see him on the outer.
