Jack Ross

[Scoop]

Just not getting back to what he showed or more importantly what we thought he’d end up.

We were wrong.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

I'm a fan but that one on one loss in the last was damning.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Same type of player. Coughlan has a few more games under his belt

He is no where near the level of Coughlan. We quickly forget how good Coughlan was.

We need size around the ball who can get clearances and they need to give it to smart blokes who can use it. Lambert fits that mould better than anyone now that he doesn’t have to cover Dusty off.

Thats the Dogs and Deez game plan in a nutshell big bodies inside getting it out to the Road Runners outside and off to the races.

 

[craig]

I'd be open trading him before any currency he has is burnt.

 

[Scoop]

We were wrong.

Yep, I was in on him. He still reads like the type of player I want to draft.

"Clarkey, get us another kid like Jack Ross, but good this time."

 

[Bunnerz]

only ok in the wet, on heavy grounds.

Do NOT ever put Ross and Coughlan in the same sentence. Coughlan would have been a 300 gamer and captain of the Tigers. Injuries crueled. I had Cogs on the same level as Voss.
What i saw today from Ross was inexcusable. I can take the lack of pace or odd crappy disposal but he pulled out of 4 contests today. 4 in one game. Most blokes do 1 a game. Egg gets criticised for the same thing and Ross played scared. Ive seen enough. Trade, trade and trade

If I hear this one more time I will fair dinkum spew up.

You asked for it
Being played out of position he’s an inside mid any chance he gets a game there?

 

[silvertiger]

I’d rather try him there instead of Graham

Graham to a wing.

 

[Tigers2011]

Graham to a wing.

Think we tried that before and it was the same lack of speed issue. Worth another look with his gut running ability & it hasn’t worked with him playing high half forward anyway.

 

[Tigers2011]

Graham to a wing.

I wonder why we haven’t tried Graham & Ross into midfield roles & Cotchin/Edwards forward - especially with the issue of locking the ball inside 50.

 

[eZyT]

Graham to a wing.

jack Graham made a pretty strong case to be shifted onto the VFL tonight.

looked leg and brain slow.

could be carrying something?

I reckon $hai is too

This. He's just not the same player of early 2019 for some reason. Chalk and cheese.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Heh heh. jack Ross has demonstrated nowhere near the talent to play AFL midfield. Some would argue that hes not much good at VFL midfield.

Inside grunt delusion at AFL level? He can't get a kick.

Dimma gave him a loose HBF gig last week and in a winning side Ross was adequate. (I liked the rugged moment.) He got the ball and sent it forward.

01 Aug 2021 I thought Ross was ok. He was given a chance to play back pocket to HBF was ok. Disposal errors? He'll hve them. But at crucial times I thought he was good.

No, he's not there yet but Jack Ross played some winning ball at winning times imo. A well coached player. Battling and levelling uo.

 

[King Kong]

WTF is he on the Wing?

 

[Tigers of Old]

I think there’s no doubt he’s an inside mid.
However inside mids are an endangered species in this current evolution of the game.
Transitional mids is where the game is at now as Fremantle demonstrated yesterday.
Unfortunately for us we’ve loaded up heavily with inside players we hope replaces Cotch. Ross isn’t Cotch level. Nowhere near it but few are.
After yesterday I really hope rumours of Cerra are true..

Either he plays midfield or the kid request to be traded.
Wingman he is not.
Thise last 5 minute efforts though in the last could have put a cross through him.
