Ross made his debut in Round 19 against Collingwood last season, immediately making an impact with his impressive pace and decisive decision making.
The 20-year-old is hoping plenty of hard work over the pre-season can lead to more games at senior level in 2012.
“I played two games at senior level last year, hopefully if I play well this season I can improve on that effort,” Ross said.
“I want to try and get some consistency up over the next month and play regularly throughout the NAB cup competition.”
Ross is confident an increased workload during the off season will hold him in good stead heading into his second year at the club.
“We have had a solid start to the pre-season so far - it has been a lot more intense than last year which has been really beneficial for the players,” he said.
Ross says the team is responding well to the program put in place by new high performance manager Dean Robinson.
“There is no doubt Dean has been able to get the most out of the guys so far in this pre-season,” he said.
