Tom Gross . Wasnt a flash in the pan on Wednesday , backing it up today . He has family in Vic and W.A. I was talking to relatives of his at training at Mineral park the other week . They were over here on holiday and watching him , they were also at his house in Vic when he was drafted . Becoming a bit of a favourite of mine and seemingly others on here too with his tenacity at such a young age . Might have a real gem .

His mother's from WA, I believe.

Said after being drafted that he spends every Xmas in Perth, so he's not going to be getting homesick any time soon.

Another who was keen to play for WCE, alongside Grego.

Genuinely surprised he got past pick 30, let alone 40. Great pick for any team, let alone one with minimal midfield depth.

Hope so, can't do anymore than impress at training and match sim.
He was playing in that Vic Metro side with a midfield of Ashcroft, M Reid, Smillie, J Smith, Moraes and still got named in All Australian squad at HF.
High praise and he looks to have the skill, tenacity and will to succeed, probably plays a bit like a Toby Greene from GWS without the smartass imo.

Says here we've taken Collingwood's Talent ID manager, Derek Hine.

Sidenote: I don't know what a Talent ID manager does.
Manages ID'ing talent, so basically looks to identify talent, then manages the identification of said talent, so that the talent is identified in a managed way.
 
Would you liken Gross to a Tom Mitchell type midfielder - from the little I saw of his draft videos he did for me.
Gross has a higher ceiling and lower floor and is more impact/brust rather than accumulator. He’s faster, stronger more explosive and kicks goals but without the (prime Mitchell) 30+ possession count and his disposal needs work.

Tenacious as ****.
 



The West’s take on todays matchsim

Big raps for Maric

No mention of Gross

What a nothing article apart from saying Maric rebounded and kicked well. Watch for the updated one once they’ve checked BF and discovered Gross played nicely.
