Yes our midfield is decimated and he’s been dropped. Looking like his papers are stamped.

Isn’t this the time for him to be getting his chance? When we are desperate for mids? He’s in big trouble as far as his list spot goes.
With no leg speed, needs to rediscover elite ball winning & distribution ability in a hurry.
I hope Rossy's got a strong tolerance otherwise he's gonna walk away at season's end.
Gonna take the 12th man appearances title off Andy Bichel at this rate
Perhaps but when he next gets a chance, he has to play better. Whether it’s the foot injury he got or whether he was always this pace, he’s just not quick & agile. Therefore what are his strengths - contested ball, elite distribution etc? Whatever they are, we need to see them. I can’t believe this is the same player I watched debut against Port in Adelaide.
Sadly he's reminding me of Dan Butler in 19 where he looks nervous and indecisive which to some extent, if you're unsure where you fit in is understandable but a huge worry when the heat is on.
5 times this year as sub. Personally I think he's been mis-managed. That's a lot of footy he's missed playing. Doesn't help the confidence of a youngster. Should be sharing sub duties alot more. I think with a good string of games he will be an integral part of the midfield.
I agree @tigerlove ..... I posted earlier on in the season that the stupid 23rd man sub was going to be detrimental to Jack's career and it appears my fears were correct. I hope they just make it 5 on the bench in 22 and in the interim that he get's a good run at it.
Ross strikes me as a very proud kid. I think we might be surprised tonight.
the run the Ross has had , it's going to go one of two ways
steel him up and put fire in the belly
or
break him and kill his spirit
it's a tough gig trying to get a run in first grade at Richmond !!!
credit to him to get this far and I hope he finds that extra 5%

Surprised at the knockers. First few games were eye-opening good. He's now changed body shape and really hasn't had a run of games in his preferred position. The optimist in me thinks Dimma is playing him in different roles to become a more rounded footballer, and/or he thinks Ross can play other roles than what he always had.
Not sure Dimma would invest in Ross's development if he didn't think he'd make it. We have plenty of other kids who we could invest that time and opportunity into.

The fact they keep picking him indicates he was handling being the sub perfectly fine.
