I like him just lacking confidence about am I in or out or which position am I playing. Persevere

Until he changes his game style dramatically, people have got to stop thinking of Ross as some potential inside and clearance beast. He simply doesn’t play that way (at the moment).
66% of his posessions were uncontested again today. He’s 74% uncontested career wise, which is mega high.
He got a decent amount of time on the ball today including several centre bounces.

Is clearly playing an outside role… for some reason. Covered 14.8km today, most of any Richmond player.
Not sure whether to blame Ross or the coaching group who have turned what was looking like a clearance beast into a nothing player. Looked a star in his first few games as a beast of a kid that was winning clearances and bulldozing his way out of packs. For some reason they made him lose weight and tried to turn him into a backman and winger.
Afraid its all too much now and he is now in no mans land. Cant run, cant kick and doesnt have any impact. Size also gone so has lost strength. That lack of contest in our def 50 that lead to a gws goal was telling.

I just don't get why we've tried to convert this guy to an outside mid. He was drafted as an inside work horse. What on earth is behind some of the decision making?
I wasn't at the game so a little hard to tell, but it appeared he was playing the 'Lambert' role of starting at HF but then playing as the 7th mid.
Not as effective a last week.
Covering the running of Prestia and Lambo would be my guess.
Caddy is not the future and is finished as an AFL footballer
We've got to stick with Ross for now, he still has time to improve. If he's playing the Kane Lambert role just consider how long it took him to make it as a player.
I'm just not sure where Ross sits. Dow showed today why Ross isn't in the middle, Dow has the zip and evasivessness for clearances, Ross doesn't, but Ross also doesn't have the kicking skills to play on the outside.
I'm not sure he's really going to make it. I expect by the end of the season, all of Dow, Sonsie and Clarke will have gone past him.

Good first half and was thinking he’d turned it around but like the entire team pathetic for the last quarter and a half.
