Had the ball 4-5 times in the first 10 mins - just so natural
Very impressive and could easily play in seniors- if a spot opens up.
TBH impressed me more than Marlion did - albeit based on one VFL game (and just the half for Jack)

Lots of options eg drop Short, put Stack back, Edwards more forward, Ross in the midfield rotation. We'll find a spot for Ross once he's fit enough to come in.
Don't estimate Caddy! Playing on the wing, midfield will provide us bonuses. Can kick goals, hard at it, great overhead mark, skills. Him before in this order, Pickett, Baker, Butler or Short.
Even though he has played less than a handful of senior games, I reckon I would prefer Ross fronting up fr the finals than a few other players in the team (Short, Ellis, Butler).
His competitiveness, hardness and ability to win the ball are all atttributes a team needs to combat the pressure of finals.
Have my fingers crossed that his next game (or maybe two) in the VFL all lead to him beng back in the seniors before the completion of H&A season.
Could be the 2019 Jack Graham (but maybe without the goals) and that would be a pretty good wrap for the young fella.

I reckon this kid is vital. Pure midfielder and gives us something different. The Cogs comparison is apt. I always saw him as a bigger more polished Selwood. But basically someone that finds the ball and keeps his balance and vision and distributes well. It looks like they will play him in the twos but with Cotchy and Stacky still out I think we should bring him in. Blues have Cripps Walsh and Murphy in ripping form and a couple more handy mids. We cant take them lightly.
Won’t play after only 50% at vfl but most def in mix before season is out , big body mids are generally the go in finals
Dangerfield gets to the ball first, Fyfe won’t beat him to it, so he slides in like a ninja again leading in with his legs.
The rule was brought in for that exact action. Dangerfield didn’t get a free and was very lucky not have a snap fibula.
Fyfe has stopped with the arm swings and has introduced the ‘soccer action’ of leading with his feet.
I think there’s no doubt Ross is very much in our AFL September plans not our VFL ones, all been well I think he’ll play against the Lions . Unlike others I don’t think he replaces Graham, other then there hardness there different types of midfielders.
