Ross to debut against Port Adelaide Mitch Cleary,
AFL Media
Apr 11, 2019 Senior coach Damien Hardwick has this morning confirmed Jack Ross will make his AFL debut this Saturday against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.
Ross, 187cm and 87kg, was selected at pick no. 43 overall in the 2018 national draft, and is the first of Richmond’s 2018 draft class to gain a senior berth.
A big-bodied midfielder who shows great composure with ball in hand, Ross comes into Richmond’s round four side after strong recent VFL form.
We've loved the way he plays, he's tough, he's hard, he brings a real Richmond attitude to the way we're going to play this ball game," Hardwick said on Thursday.
"I think he's one of those kids that slept with a footy when he was a young kid.
"He's a very quiet lad but he plays the game in a brutal way and I think Richmond supporters are going to fall in love with him."
