Brandon Ellis to Gold Coast / Richmond receive pick 39 as compo [merged]

[Hellenic Tiger]

Kid skill play 200+ games.
Once he gets his disposal and decision making better will be even better.
Kid is only 19 and will improve heaps.
Have plenty of time for him.
Goal saving tackle on Sylvia was strong desperate and clinical. Great stuff.

[Tigers of Old]

Yep since Jack in 2006, FJ has done very well with our first round picks - Jack, Cotch, Vickery, Martin, Conca, Ellis & Vlastuin.

That makes for very pretty reading MT.

Brandon played by far his best game for the Club tonight. Not only had 25 possies but was also impacting on the game. Hopefully a breakout game for him.

Good to see him come back after a poor start to the season. He mustve been hurting after putting in a terrific preseason. Was an asset out there tonight. If he can build on that he'll be a real player

[hyperlite]

^ agree

Took some clinch marks tonight too. Lets hope he can build on this game and become a weekly contributor.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Yep agreed the kid took a couple of great courageous marks tonight and found the ball on the ground too and was good with his disposal. Thought was one of our best players tonight.

Needed and deserved 100 minutes of football which he got last night.
Actually out him in our top 3, great game Brandon

OK start rolling in the apologies for those who call him weak and soft, you can look at his whole game but if you need more specifics go to the third quarter where he put his body on the line going back with the ball.

[Damo]

Didn't call him weak and soft.

Did call his game a disgrace last week (which it was).

So I definitely won't be apologising.

BUT. I tip my hat to his fantastic effort tonight. He was super. More of the same would be good.

[Penelope]

in a quarter and a bit he as many or more possessions that half the team last week.
thats a disgrace?

Last week was horrible. Made 3 fundamental skill errors, 2 of which cost goals. He dropped 2 absolute puds, one of which hit him square in the guts in front of goal.

He was super this week however and hopefully they abandon the idea of using him as a sub.

[Penelope]

then youd have to say that Maic has been disgrace all year as well, probably cotchin too

[tigs2011]

Should never ever be a sub again. Thank god he played a whole game.
