Bio
Recruited by North Melbourne with pick 3 in the 2007 Pre-Season Draft, Ben Ross entered the AFL system with notable bloodlines as the nephew of Essendon champion Tim Watson. A light-framed, pacy midfielder with good goal sense, he showed flashes of potential at Arden Street but was hampered by persistent hip and groin issues that limited his continuity. After being delisted by the Kangaroos following the 2011 season, Ross reinvented himself in the VFL, winning the prestigious J.J. Liston Trophy with Werribee in 2012 to prove his ball-winning ability. This stellar state-league form earned him an AFL lifeline with Hawthorn, where he served as midfield depth for one season in 2014 before finishing his career with 18 games at the top level.
