Put together 2 good games in a row ( one being a pressure final ) which is probably a first and will give him great confidence moving forward.

Two games doesn’t make a season
I’m giving this full seasons work a 3, and think I’m being generous

Hopefully it becomes a 6 or 7 next year and he becomes more consistent

Wow 😮
Someone gave him an 8
My goodness .. the bar is set lower for some than others

I didn’t realise voting was

“Rate a players year, taking into account what you expect from the individual”

If Ross gets an 8, we better change the voting so the Bolton’s and Prestia’s of the world can get triple figures LMAO

Same as Damo

No dispute his good is very good as we saw in the 3 excellent games he played in 2022

But.....

The gap between those and the poor ones is still massive. There is nothing in between. And overall and being honest here there were more poor ones than good ones

I think his form in the second half of the year was a significant improvement.

And he was one of our best in the final last week.

I gave him a 7 based on how much he improved over the course of the season.

Hopefully it's all starting to click for him.

Got a 6/10 for me. If 5/10 is breaking even then I gave him one extra point simply for improving more than I thought he would.

Still a depth player for me unless he goes to another level again.

Finally let's hope we settled him in a position.

Points toward the Jack Dyer Medal are based on expectations v output. So for Dusty the expectations are high and result judged off that. For Ross the expectations are lower. So both could be rated a 6 even though Dusty's output is significantly higher.

Ross has shown a steady performance improvement curve over 22. Now at 44 games he has the experience level for expectations on his output to increase. Going to be tough to get midfield time in 23, if we get both Taranto and Hopper, but that is the challenge he faces.

If he continues to improve can see him becoming the Mr Fix It role, filling in for injuries etc

Coming along well. He's hit that 40-50 game mark and is starting to look and play like he belongs at the level. Not everyone is a champion in their first 50 games. I think he'll settle in and become a very solid inside mid.

I reckon 3 is way too harsh and 8 too optimistic. I remember Paul Williams once talking about Heath Shaw and urging fans to be patient because it generally takes 4-5 years for a player to get comfortable at AFL level consistently.
He’s been thrown all over the ground but is limited in where he can play - he’s an inside mid which is where he’s going best.
I’m optimistic that gaps between best and worst footy will rapidly diminish next year as he finally matures.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

If 3 is way too harsh I’ll explain my reasoning

1- he only got selected 15 times
2- in my opinion he was only decent in what 5-6 of those ? Let’s say half the time being generous

Still not a pass mark for me

With 4-5 games to go people were calling for him to be dropped/traded/delisted

This rating is for the SEASON, not the last month

I didn’t say 2 games made a season. I said his trajectory is heading the right way.
I gave him a 6 based on expectations and level of ability.
3 is ridiculous. That means he played way below expectations.
I’d give that to Dusty based on history. Not Ross

Ross was just a pass mainly because he strung a few together at the end, so just a 6
I have a bit of confidence now but a couple of  months ago he would be trade bait
