Just drop B Ellis for 1 game, he will come back into the team a dead set champ... :snidegrin :snidegrin

That's exactly what he needs, it's worked for Miles, Hampson and Griffiths!

B Ellis is still borderline a kid

Grigg is border line 30 years old, no upside

Even his last two games BT?
Granted I've seen with my own two eyes the countless times he's squibbed a contest but all I'm saying is there wasn't much of that nonsense in the last two games.

Let's face it, your not going to get any different from the likes of Houli and Hunt or Chaplin but this kid is still only 22.
I was one of his biggest critics too and if he goes back to squibbing I will be again but I've liked a lot of what I've seen from him in the last two games and I hope I see more improvement in the future. Let's hope he's turned a corner.
Yes even the last two games.
My biggest gripe with him is not that he poos himself every time he goes near the footy but that fact that he is scared to make a mistake with the footy in hand. He goes backwards and sideways on a lot of occasions. Some like to say it the way he is coached but no one else does it as much or as often as this little hole.
What I have notice he does more this year is fumble. He is obviously bereft of all confidence.
Need needs to be dropped and go back and work hard and earn his spot.

Fair enough, I understand your angst BT but I suggest you watch the replay again just to note Brandon's game and I think you would pleasantly surprised. I really don't think he was that bad as he has been previously especially against the swans. Maybe you saw Grigg and thought it was a 5 instead of a 6. Seriously he wasn't as bad as normal that's for sure.

Thought Grigg and Ellis were good
By memory Grigg was the player that intercepted the ball and gave it off to Jack who gave it to
Rioli for his running goal
