Sebastian ROSS

2017 Digest:   Didn’t miss a beat as a hard-running creative midfielder last year and will only get better with time. An important midfielder. asset.

2017 NAB Cup:  

2017 Season

1	Melb	Didn't cover as many kms as he usually does and wasn’t a factor at all.	4
2	WCE	Influential with 29 touches and five clearances. Busy all night.	8
3	Bris	Most of his work was done in close and laid nine tackles. Solid outing without starring.	6
4	Coll	The longer it went, the more of the ball he got. Another winning midfielder.	7
5	Geel	Must have Cats at home because he loves playing them. Tore the pussies a new one for second straight year; 33 disposals.	8
6	Haw	Hard worker in tight and spread well from the contest as well. Seven clearances and five inside-50s. Big outing.	8
7	GWS	Won plenty of the ball (x dispsals), including x clearances and x contested possessions to be among better Saints. Run was huge late.	8
8	Carl	Big game by the running machine. Clever in traffic with 6 clearances and topped of a great game with two big goals.	8
9	Syd	Went with Kennedy and amassed 36 touches in another strong game.	8
10	WB	Couple of uncustomary errors early but then straightened up for a solid game.	6
11		Bye.
12	Adel	Saints best player on the night with six clearances, three scoring assists and plenty of outside run.	7
13	NM	Clearly best afield with 32 touches. In everything in midfield.	8
14	GCS	Very quiet in an uncustomary flat first half but lifted at the end.	5
15	Frem	Picked up 33 disposals and won six clearances. In everything at stages.	8
16	Rich	Terrific rounded game in which he was a potent force and also countered Tiger midfield.	8
17	Ess	Stats made his game look better than it was. Well below usual standard.	4
18	Syd	After quiet previous week he racked up 37 touches to be Saints' best.	7
19	Port	Terrific ball-winner who racked up 31 touches in gut-running effort.	7
20	WCE	Solid game even though not up among his best efforts this year.	6
21	Melb	Butchered the ball by foot for most of the day and was unable to match it in close with Dees midfielders.	4
22	NM	Kept ticking over all day with 36 disposals , 24 of them being handballs.	7
23	Rich	If he was supposed to be going with Martin he got scorched. Skills let him down and looked disinterested.	4

2016 Season

1	Port	Outside running was impressive winning 22 uncontested possessions.	8
2	WB	Didn’t get enough of the ball in midfield to get it out to runners.	4
3	Coll	Supreme in the midfield. Spent a lot of time on Treloar and nullified him. Helped keep midfield pressure on.	7
4	Haw	Hard worker in midfield opposed to star studded Hawks. Just six contested possessions though.	6
5	GWS	Consistent midfielder growing in stature.	7
6	Melb	Off ground for a while with shoulder stinger, but returned and kept producing.	7
7	NM	Strong worker in every contest but not big disposals. Laid seven tackles.	5
8	WCE	Again battled hard and has been one of Saints’ best overall this year.	5
9	Ess	Second only to Steven as Saints’ best. Consistent when others plodded in first half.	8
10	Frem	Consistent ball winner across four quarters as he has been all year.	7
11	Adel	Quietest game for the year but is one who can be excused for rare off day.	3
12	Carl	Never stopped running and generating the play. Top possession winner on ground.	7
14	Geel	Matched with Dangerfield and not only held his own but created too.	8
15	GCS	Nowhere near recent good form.	4
16	Ess	Prolific ball-winner but like many teammates often burnt it.	6
17	Melb	Non-stop energiser bunny in midfield and was in the thick of it all day.	6
18	WB	Quieter than in recent weeks, but still made a midfield contribution.	5
19	NM	Only Saint midfielder to achieve normal output levels.	6
20	Carl	Heading towards elite midfield level with commanding display around ground.	7
21	Syd	Partly subdued in third term but otherwise good.	6
22	Rich	On top of Martin early, but went out of game in third before coming back again.	7
23	Bris	Solid game in middle, but looked tired at times after a big year.	7
