Again the marking on Ross is so over the top. Some people expect him to be a top flight a grade mid. He was drafted in the late 30’s so I would think he is performing much like his draft pick. Has heaps to improve but is solid depth.

Why can't pick 30's be A graders?
He was ok, but no pace.
Can't play both him and Graham in real games
Once your in the system where someone is drafted becomes irrelevant I think Go29 , when it comes to the last day in September teams are made up of players drafted at all different picks , without repeating myself , I just don’t see what others see in him
After three flags in four years even half the experts still couldn't see what was all over their faces, they didn't rate us n still now after 11 wins in a row a lot of experts still can't see how Colonwood keep winning all those close games.
With all the AFL shackles of draft n salary cap, most clubs have similar list talent available. Clubs get a handful of star quality then after that it boils down to the nuts n bolts players honesty n integrity of work ethic. Rossy's going o.k. at AFL level n still got improvement in him, hopefully he keeps stepping up n becomes an integral cog in the team. Still should have all of next season to consolidate his spot in the side
He looks a footballer to me.
That hasn't changed since I saw him play his first VFL game.
Will only improve. He's the closest thing we have to a two way mid outside of Prestia (and Cotchin - for the moment).

And now has versatility to his game. Two weeks running he has had to cover the wing as Macintosh was required down back.
Agree 100%
Except he was a 3rd round selection, pick #43.
He's a competitor, looks like a Richmond man to me.
Good not great. Still deserves praise. A nice neat cucumber sandwich.
Yep versatility, and that shows a commitment to playing the "team game". We play wingers who run selflessly up and down the field, not chasing kicks. The fact that we are so willing to move him there when needed I reckon shows his work ethic is very highly rated.
He is strong over the ball and gets his arms up above the tackle now… I’m liking his progress. It would be a massive bonus if he steps up for a run at the finals.
Many a final is won because your bottom 6 players are better than their bottom 6. If Ross can be a reliable part of our winning bottom 6 this year, I'll take it. What you don't want in that bottom 6 are players with glaring weaknesses that opponents can exploit.
Jack's contested possession rate was very low. Disposal efficiency not great.
I'm yet to see him play really well when Cotchin is in the side when bumped to an outside role. He is not a great ball user. Field kicking is to a contest too often.
Think this selection is about team balance as much as anything. Sonsie & Graham preferred.
