It appears to be a source that requires a bucket of salt!

In principle I'm not opposed to Seb Ross trying his luck elsewhere because as others have pointed out, despite accumulating a stack of possessions, he wastes many of these, and is never going to become an "impact player".

Interesting to note that Luke Dunstan, who is 2 years younger than Ross, has higher ratings in Supercoach and AFL Fantasy, which perhaps indicates that the club should persevere with him rather than Ross.

If Dunstan had not been seriously injured early in the 2020 season I believe he would have played most if not all games once the season recommenced in June, and under superior coaching from Ratten & Co would have improved his craft considerably.

Say 5/10 = get a game in a perfect world.
What happens when trade value is 2/10 but performance value is 4/10?

This might be the paddock that a number of our players are in.

Kent ? Performance 4/10 but no trade value or 2-3/10.
Ross? Performance 5/10 and trade value 4-5/10?

Strangely, it would seem Dunsatn, Webster and Roberton are in the opposite position. Their trade value is more than their immediate relative performance value. All three might be better than the other two.

The idea of keeping a horse because it won’t sell for much isn’t as dumb perhaps, when we live in the equalization, salary cap, subsidiized world, until we realise that our subsidies are not for free.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Easy mistake to make, Heppell and Ross look so alike now Dyson has had a lockdown eased haircut.

Just opened this thread as I feared another City West fact-free troll grenade. I should have known better.

Ok. Nexus/Lexus Helen/Nick BlueNRG? I'm confused, there have been so many. Mini Me? Peter Hire, perhaps.

I’m almost certain it’s not any of those posters either but it’s someone pretending to be them.

Pathetic behaviour.
