You might want to factor in that Both Danger and Martin have opponents concentrating/tagging them at all times and are under huge defensive pressure.

He is a member of the Blue Sky Brigade.

Dangerfield and Martin can be relied on to do several inspirational team-lifting things, like kick several amazing goals, do the burst through a pack and drill the ball to a forward.
Seb gives us the heart in the mouth, for different reasons...
Send disposal in the first 16 or so rounds was phenomenal considering how much of the pill he gets, and only dripped off on the last couple of rounds or so, there's a reason why he polled well in the coaches award
You believe in the flat-earth theory as well, I suppose.
Seb is fantastic at getting the ball.
Delivering it?
Nope, big fail.
You need to watch the game and not your phone screen.
Wow, you just can't handle people having different opinions to you

Why is Seb Ross getting bagged out?

He made the AA squad and was our best player this year. Probably is our no 1 player now too. From memory, he came in the top 10 from the AFL coaches votes also.

You will bloody notice a mistake from him because he gets the bloody damn ball so much compared to everyone else!!

2 words.
Power
Failure


2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

Seb is a good honest trier who gets a fair bit of the ball- but he aint no game changer. I would say Carlise and Roberton were our strengths this season

Isn't it awesome how we can take an article with empirical evidence showing one of our players is one of the quickest in the comp and turn it into a negative thread.

Welcome to Saintsational.net

TBH though, there are some positive people on here. I honestly try to promote a positive mindset with my posts.

At least when MickThomas was Wellard Saint......... there were the occasional humorous posts amongst his negativity. So it might be time to move from downtown Doncaster back to even downer town Wellard to see if a smidgen of humour or positivity can be found.

'Empirical' is as bad as 'anecdotal'.
Buckley wouldn't tag Tom Mitchell because, despite huge numbers, "he doesn't hurt you".

Ignore the stats and look at the actual results of his possessions.
Is it the team-mates not helping him?
Or is he just not clever enough with the disposals?

A bricklayer putting down 25% more bricks than his mates, if he is messy and inaccurate, isn't really as good as his high numbers indicate.

Seb Ross is our best chance of developing our next elite player. I remember seeing him in the Wangarratta practice match in 2016 and thinking he would be a huge factor in our improvement. He was superb that day. Applying pressure, winning heaps of it and using it well. He even seemed to have added a yard of pace. He's a beauty and will win our B & F this year by a fair margin. He dropped off a bit in the latter rounds, but didn't they all? Another preseason, improved endurance and strength and you have our next AA. You know it makes sense!

Agreed.

Seb is like Tom Mitchell and these guys are big accumulators. Quite happy one of our mids is getting 30+ touches most weeks. He's A grade now.

Goal kicking mid freaks with massive pace that pick up a large no of possies like Judd, Ablett and Danger are rare as. A club is lucky to get a player like that every 15-20 years.

Just came across this:

His repeat sprint time at the NAB AFL Draft Combine of 24.66 seconds was impressive, putting
him in the top 18 per cent, along with his beep test of score of 14.8, showcasing his endurance.


So it looks like he always had some speed. Good repeat speed is handy in a mid.
