It's taken only one week to abandon playing Brandon across half-back.


Brandon Ellis is set to return to the midfield against Collingwood after being moved to half-back against Carlton to cover the Tigers' spate of injuries in that part of the ground.

With Chris Yarran (foot) and Reece Conca (hamstring) both sidelined for at least five weeks each, Hardwick said the club was on the lookout for a player to become a "weapon" in that position.

"We tried (Ellis) down back and he probably wasn't that great and we threw him back in the midfield and across the wing and he played a lot better," the coach said.

"It's a position we're still looking to fill at this stage, but we'll trial a few other things this week to see how we can get that working for us.

"We're looking for someone to solidify in that position for us."

Good. Should not be playing the backline.

For stuffs sake !!
Like he hasn't had a chance in the midfield before and totally screw it up

[Francois Jackson]

Ive defended this bloke for a while (not sure why)  but i've had enough of his squibbing and useless possessions.

If anyone is good at Computers, post up the footage in the last quarter, (10mins to go) when he was going back and squibbed it, resulting in one arm going up.

Mileara i think went on and scored a point.

Geez we are a team full of pussys, with this bloke and Mr Ramadan being the biggest offenders.

t@s on a bull.
FHO.

Gone from dashing run and carry and great kicking to one the worst culprits for killing momentum and turning around with the ball. Won't have none of those good qualities at Richmond and must be coached out ASAP.

Lmao @ coached out.

I'd say that's exactly what poor damien is right now, as well as out coached.

Worst 39 possession game ever?

yep, agree. his ability to break the lines and create has deteriorated due to to under coaching

[big tone]

Yep, toss up between him and Houli.
There is your problems right there.
Both soft and both useless.
I can tolerate when our kids stuff up as they are learning and will hopefully get better.
But watching these two getting 39 meaningless touches of the footy drives me insane.
This is a horrible thing to say but I just know it's the only way I don't have to watch their crap every weeks is I hope they get injured and we try others in their spots.
How can any senior AFL coach play both of these guys in the same backline??

Has never been held accountable, never been dropped....Ellis plays the way he does because he's been allowed to, indulged and perhaps even instructed....beside, we can't drop the golden haired boy who fronts all our ads.....

Not sure how to (or if you can) embed a video on this forum but here is a link. Average quality but I'm not putting in the effort to make it better

Is it surprising that we have a plethora of players not willing to put their bodies on the line and that we are losing games of football.

I think not.
