Seb Ross

[wally]

Successful teams have options shut one down others step up . Sometimes the most valuable player is the one that turns it on for a quarter other times is the one who is solid all game

[B.M]

Swam nicely between the flags again

His kick to Higgins at the end was elite!

[saynta]

Sebby very good again tonight IMO anyway

Yep, and his disposal by hand and foot was excellent.

[saynta]

Seb had yet another good game last night. Is there any hope that this ridiculous discussion might cease?

I f****** can only hope so. Seb is a champion footballer of the Saints football club and has been for years.

[WellardSaint]

I will say that anyone who gets onto an AFL list has got there through hard work +persistence.
But my issue w/Seb was his 32+possessions weren't usually quality, nor was he looking to give to a team-mate's advantage.
They quite often were kicks in hope, and random handballs. Ok, maybe our outside guys weren't in the clear at the time, but anyways...

This year, maybe knowing there's younger guys pressing for a spot, he actually looks for a clear target and usually nails it.
Example was right foot pass to Higgins for a goal.
He even takes on the tackler to give himself a lil bit more time to dish off, which he does well.

He's now much more of a team-first player.

His 30+ disposals used to be decaf, now he gets 20+ but they're double-shot Arabica

Well done to Ratts for turning vanilla soft cone from McDonalds into premium french vanilla Gelateria

Excellent article and well worth taking a few minutes to read it.

Ratts has ‘turned him into a good player’

Dear oh dear?!

[skeptic]

Isn’t it nice that everyone acknowledges improved form

I mean wouldn’t it be ridiculous if ppl were suggesting that there was absolutely no change in standard over 5 years. That would be weird

[outside66]

Ratts,the players around him, and Seb himself adapting to a new role has him easily in career best form. Hope he keeps it up!

Skeptic

5 years ago he won the B&F

Tonight he was our best again

As they said on the call - he’s been a good player got 8 years

He wasn’t clearly the best. I reckon Steele was better. Seb had 22 uncontested disposals. DE for Seb was 61%. Steele went at 70%. Jack had better disposal efficiency and was therefore more effective with 1 extra effective disposal and also had more tackles and more marks.

They like to brown nose their colleague Tim Watson. They know Timmy and the Watson clan would be watching Seb and it would be amiss of them not to mention young Sebby and how good he’s been for the St Kilda Football club.

Disagree. I think Seb was clearly our best. Steele was good but continued to drop marks and fumble a lot tonight and also game away that 50m.

[Scollop]

Clearly?! Ok. Lets see how the coaches votes go on Monday

Best? Geez no wonder we lost. He was weak and gutless when the contest was to be won - like a few others.

[B.M]

Sebs ability to get back and help the defence and how hard he ran throughout the game.

Steele played well too, thought Seb gave more run.

Get your hand off it! Plenty of players fall into that bracket tonight but not Seb.

[Scollop]

perfectionist is right

In a match where we got done some people want to brag about how well one individual played.

No one stood up when the game was on the line

[B.M]

We lost by a point

Jack Higgins collects the ball last 20 seconds

Draw or win

Max King missing two sodas let down a few players who actually stood up

Ross, Steele and Sinclair were excellent

As highlighted by Ratten

[Trev from the Bush]

Seb very clearly our best player tonight and almost dragged us across the line in the dying minutes.

Can we just put this garbage in the bin and accept Seb has been one of our top players for the past eight seasons and will still be into the future?

[CQ SAINT]

On his running alone, Seb was best on field. He just keeps getting where the ball is.

Haven’t watched the game yet but the suggestion is he was BOG.

That’s great.

Seems to me like he’s having his best season since his last B&F a couple of years ago

Would you say he performing better so far in 2022 then he has in the last 3 years?

Yes, he no longer blazes away without looking.
This year, he actually looks before kicking or handballing.
I've posted about this the other day.

[maverick]

Coming from a skeptic who thought his time at the Saints was up, easily our best tonight and the best game I have seen him play for a while.
He took the game on used his pace and skill to give us every chance.
Well done and hats off on a very disappointing night.

Playing a different role - back in the centre square

2016-2019 he was purely a ball hunting midfielder

Last year he predominantly played as a defensive Winger, year before that he was tagging

His role atm is to play on ball but back of centre - Gresham often is starting HF and pushing up.

Seb is winning a lot of his footy in the back half, Gresh in the front half
