Straight back into the side and he didn't miss a beat. He's having a top breakout year.

This kids a keeper, would love to see that tosspot poster who bagged his 39 possie game give his uneducated, pathetic review of yesterday's game.

It wasn't me but I must admit I'm still not a massive fan. I'm really glad he has moved to a wing where he can use his fitness to run up and down the wings all day, but playing him in the backline is not an option IMO. He still needs to be able to win one on one contests, at the moment at best he halves them. If he is to become an onballer,I think he needs to be able to win those contests.
Good luck to the kid though, he is definitely improving. And more to the point, he doesn't need me to like him.
Love the way the whole side is playing these last two games, the tackling and pressure at the ball carrier is what it takes to become a great side. You do that and even the good sides start to fumble and turn the footy over. Really awesome to watch!  :gotigers

The only criticism I ever had of Ellis was his disposal (justifiably) and that has improved, the rest of his game is great, he will be an asset to the side and a very good player of the future.

He will be moved into different positions as he progresses, it will be part of his development, so no need to hold that against him if he doesn't quite cut it in every role.

When he finds his true position.....whoa...look out!!!

his disposal is way above average and his kicking is pretty damn good to be honest

this kid is not just gonna be quality player but a quality person

we r in good shape

conca ellis vlas are all captaincy material

once we get rid of our bottom 4 players and replace them with decent players we will be flag contenders

LMAO, and they say a week is a long time in footy. 2 weeks is an eternity.

banner should simply say.....

WE ARE NOT RICHMOND........ WE ARE stuffED!

killer instinct lmao been over 30 yrs since we had one
and killer instinct begins at the selection table and sadly softwick lacks this
soft coach produces marshmallow players

after tomorrow we are out of finals contention

another yr of failure


think hardwick needs the bullet

he is fos


because hardwick is a bigger spin doctor than mmr wallet himself

he has fooled us all


hardwick must be sacked or walk if we dont make the this yr

he is fos


hardwick cannot coach

all he does is try copy other coaches

has no idea what he is doing and which players to select

he is pathetic and talks the talk

another wallet

Quality Big Tone  :clapping

He took a nice marking with a pack bearing down on him(kinda) which showed more nerve under physical pressure than we have seen in the past. Hopefully this is a sign of his confidence levels rising as he gets more games under his belt.

The goals he kicked were critical. His second goal was a beauty.

He is only 19 or 20 in his second year. 99% of kids are rightfully soft as they are playing bigger bodies and they would be scared.

I'd argue most aren't, but it doesn't bother me for now he just has to out grow it.
