Taranto's goal

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Damning footage on the Sunday Footy Show of Seb Ross standing around watching as his opponent Taranto breaks free and waltzes towards goal.

Any consequences for this?

[skeptic]

That does look very damning doesn’t it.

Picking and choosing efforts and work rate has been a criticism that Ross has copped a few times, especially in recent months.

No doubt BM and a few others will point out what a great role he did, that it wasn’t really his opponent and remember his 37 goal assists 110 pressure acts etc etc whilst in the same breath tearing Howard asunder for a forced error.

I can’t help but feel that if Crouch, Gresh, Coops, Higgins, Hill or a few other whipping boys failed to bother manning up on an opponent that kicked a critical goal, the Seb Ross brigade would absolutely tear them asunder.
Dropped, suspended and forced to repeat drills til midnight

I don’t know that I expect RTB to react as he has always been conservative

It will be interesting to see the forum reaction. I expect feint admonishment from his one eyes defenders and then deflection

[SaintPav]

Careful, Skeptic.

It was a poor effort
- one of a number of poor lazy efforts

Seb has been horribly out of form for the last month, looks devoid of confidence- after a great first 7 rounds - not sure if it’s a role thing?

He started to get some form back after HT sat night - I think he had nearly 20 in the half

But yeah, him and Steele are way out of form - as is Gresham

Good post
And yes been picking and choosing when to go way to long
People calling for Lyon to ring the changes…
Take a look at the two’s …..the cupboards not exactly full of options..
That’s saving Ross
I said before and got howled down by the Seb fanboys
Reality is we’ll be a better side when he’s pushed out of the midfield by the kids
I am disappointed we play Owens in ruck and not as a genuine mid
Get him in there let him get to work
Ross out

[B.M]

You’ll get frustrated

Seb will play every game unless injured

And bring up his 200th

Any of the seconds players going to play 200 AFL games?

Leo Connolly?!

Lol Sebs in the side cause we have NO midfield depth
If we did have anything…you’re hero with your BnF trophy from that glamorous Richo team would be out the door..
Cheap shots at kid like Connolly don’t mask the fact your “experienced gun mid” in Seb is a plodder.

Maybe we should pick the team based on who is likely to play better this week rather than who is likely to play more games in their career.

Just a thought.

[Devilhead]

The turnovers in that footage were unforgivable

We threw the game away

[Yorkeys]

Sometimes you just get too stuffed to be able to react. Seb's mind might have said tackle but his legs said no way.

[Saint2]

Plenty of Richmond possessions were in the clear with Saints watching and not chasing.

He must have been totally cooked.
Seb does not give half efforts.
He is not the greatest player out there , but his work ethics is huge.

[SaintPav]

Hope this fires the boys up for Friday

[Otiman]

It's ok everyone, RTB says we don't need to watch the video this week.

A fit Jones or Mackenzie would see Ross traded.

[skeptic]

Someone would have to want him

[Munga]

Seb has been guilty of that a number of times over the years.
