100 Games for Zac Ross

Having played with you for a few years now it’s a I couldn’t be happier for you. Rossy is the type of bloke that never goes out to win awards or find the spotlight those things just find a way of making it to him. For someone as young as he is he’s been quite a journey men, first coming to Royals out of school following in his brother Sams footsteps, he then went a spent a year playing league for the rams and from all reports it was far too easy for him and would eventually end up back at Royals. Rossy has since spent his time plying his trade in first grade where’s he’s made himself one of the first picked every weekend. Often going unnoticed to the untrained eye but for those in the know, they know how hard he works on and off the field, knows his footy IQ can match it with the best and has a highlight moment up his sleeve whenever he wants to use it.

Off the field Rossy is loved by all, his ability to make everyone feel like the most important person at the club is one of a kind and ask anyone around the grounds tomorrow and they will all say the same. Rossy’s talent begins long before the fans see him on the field, arriving into home games the crowd and fans will always notice perfectly placed sponsorship banners perfectly level and in neat and tidy rows, that’s Rossy. Taking pride in everything he does. When Royals tour we know we are safe with Rossy, whether it’s the pub or the hotel Rossy will always take the time to check the fire panel and make sure everything is up to code, according to him it’s always faulty but that’s just the man he is always has your back.

Congratulations on 100 games for Royals Rossy. Your friends and family are so proud of you mate and I can’t wait to run out there tomorrow with you.
