Gave him benefit of the doubt that he simply misjudged the flight, his mate Grigg was just as bad, both at times seem to play like girls. I think with Ellis its hard to believe but he is still only 20, still think he has plenty of development ahead of him, Grigg on the other hand is going backwards at a rate of knots.

Along with Chaplin and Vickery just about the most disappointing player this season so far.

What's happened to his overhead marking this year? Was a revelation last year. Now the only thing he's jumping at these days is shadows.

Saw it. Hated it.

Get rid of him. He's always done it. Always will.
Same as Houli.

Big mistake paying conca too.
HTF did they think he was a gun.
Caracella and Balmey.

Hate to say it but "I told you so"
If he wasn't a first round draft pick he would be dropped before Grigg. That's where I rate him at the moment, behind Grigg, and that's saying something!

He has great endurance and the only area of his game he really needed to lift in was his disposal, it looks like he has just dropped his bundle in all other areas now as well. :-\

Wont be writing him off just yet, he need to have a smashing impact in the Hawks game!!!

He was scared last year too. He just fooled everyone by getting a few kicks.
I will stop now about Ellis as I cannot stand when people bang on about one particular player.  :lol

It's one thing to be struggling form wise, like Conca as well, but it's the manner in which he is taking short steps and ducking his head and generally playing like a scared little girl.
He is an adult and as soon as he puts on an AFL jumper, especially ours, he needs to play like a man. Stop making excuses for the inexcusable.

Grigg. Worst 29 possession game in the history of the game

20 or not, after 50-odd games I expect more from both players.

Better disposal, more balls.
