Great replacement for Goddard. Both slow as old moles

Aaron Francis thanks :shh

Still sticking with that sig? :shh

Funny old game.
I'd have thought Essendon could use a player like Anthony Miles ahead of Corey Ellis.
I reckon they lack a real inside mid type, which Miles could provide short term.
Even if he performs well, Ellis will just be anupgrade on apposition the Bombers look to have well covered.

GOLD COAST
Corey Ellis could easily be part of a trade to the Suns that gives the Tigers some cap relief involving a trade of back-end picks.

Tom Morris from Fox Sports is reporting the Gold Coast Suns are interested in Richmond’s Corey Ellis.
The 21-year-old has emerged as a possible target for the Suns after playing just four games this season.
“They’re looking to recruit players that have experience but haven’t quite cut it at AFL level yet,” Morris told Fox Sports News’ AFL Tonight.
“The Suns are clearly looking for one sort of player. They’re just four names that have been thrown up at the moment. I’d be surprised if they didn’t get at least a couple of them.”
Ellis was originally taken by the Tigers with pick 12 in the 2014 national draft, but has only played 27 games of senior football.
The Suns have already been linked to Richmond duo Jacob Townsend and Anthony Miles, who are the past two winners of the VFL’s best and fairest award the JJ Liston Trophy.
The Suns are expected to lose star forward and club captain Tom Lynch to the Tigers

Second Tiger to cross to Gold Coast
Jake Niall
The Age
25 Sep 2018
Richmond's Corey Ellis is set to sign with the Gold Coast Suns and will be the second Tiger player to cross to the Suns in this year's trade period.
Ellis, a first round draft pick in 2014, played four senior games this season for a career total of 27 for Richmond. He will be traded to the Suns, where he will be joined by Tiger teammate Anthony Miles, who was pushed out of Richmond's best side in their premiership season last year.
Ellis is expected to join the Suns on a two-year deal.
The Ellis and Miles trades will have no bearing on Tom Lynch's move from the Suns to Richmond. Lynch is joining the Tigers under free agency and while the Suns have the ability to match a deal, this can be all but ruled out given that the Suns will receive pick No.3 in return - a strong return in a draft with a talented top end.
Left-footed Ellis can play on the wing or half-back and while Richmond held significant hopes for him earlier in his career, he was unable to cement a spot during 2017 and 2018 when the Tigers became a powerful side and also suffered barely any injuries.
In addition to the Richmond pair, the Suns will bring in Geelong midfielder George Horlin-Smith.

Interesting to see now whether we do separate trades for Corey and Miles and pick up 3rd/4th round draft picks or they get bundled together to try and gain a higher second round pick.

They will have 2, 3, 19(West Coast's pick), 27, 30, 39, 42 and 74
On points value (assuming they need some for academy picks) 39 and 42 added together are more value than pick 27. So in that case we can probably prise out pick 27.

Can we throw in "steak Knives" Townsend and get pick 19?
-
We've wasted some first round draft pics recently - Lennon and now Ellis. Bolton looking all sizzle no sausage ATM too.
-
Good luck to the kid. Had high hopes for him early days but just couldn't take his VFL form up to the big time. That says it all really...
-
Had a lot of promise but just couldn't get the pill enough at AFL level. Maybe a change of club will give him a new lease on life. Good luck

Bolts was a second rounder. First rounder went to gc for prestia
-
remember the meltdown on this site when we picked up C Ellis and Menadue in the same draft?
absolutely brutal thread that lol

Would like to keep Towner

This sums it up for me too.

Me too :thumbsup

Has the club ever really given him a block of games where he played decent amounts of time in the middle?
He seems to play well at twos level in the middle and when he gets an opportunity in the seniors we play him out of position across half back.
I still think he can be a good AFL footballer but he needs to be played in the right position.
Good luck to him either way as apparently he is a ripping fella.
-
all the best to em. I though Cory Ellis was going to go alright as well. Would want to keep Towner unless we get something better for him. He is not disposable, he helped win us our first premiership in eons, and he wasn't being carried.
-
Ironically for someone so slow, time & space seem to be ememy of CEllis....it's when he's in the thick of it with no time to think that he plays best and on instinct...when he's out in the open it's almost as if he freaks out that everyone's looking at him or something.... :shh
-
Be interesting 2 see what we can actually get for Ellis by trading him to GC.
Seemed to have talent but like alot of players we have had over the years good 2s player and not up to the elite level
GO U TIGERS
-
Swap Ellis for Brodie?
-
Yes please.... :shh
