Yeah he was definitely there. He looked real stoked!
I thought Jack Ross looked a bit wistful though
I also noted that, BTT, about young Ross.
From where I was sitting (on my couch), I thought it suggested a missed opportunity more than envy or feeling deserved.
He knew he had missed out on the opportunity and euphoria of a premiership (on two occasions) and the sheer joy being expressed post-match by the premiership[ players (both seniors and reserves) would have struck as something he wished he could be feeling and experiencing. It would have felt a little empty, I am sure. I don't believe, for a minute, that he was begrudging of his team mates. More, as you said, wistful.
I am sure his time out on the MCG post-siren will motivate and drive him this forthcoming pre-season. Like any AFL footballer he wants to experience that unique sensation of being a premiership player.
I have no doubt that Ross will become a central player in future successful Richmond sides.
I believe he will become a very very good player for the Yellow and Black.
