Brandon Ellis [merged]

[Damo]

Pick 39 compensation we got what a corrupt organisation the afl is all by that witch haunt by Barrett.

Swings and roundabouts
Remember how we got Bolton?

[MintOnLamb]

Sat with his Mum at a game, super lady, she was so proud, sad to see so many people bagging him, you have no idea how much comments can hurt extended family.
Well done Brandon, great career….. respect

Australia really has gone to the poo

Not once has anyone attacked Brandon the person

If people want to question him as a player , then good luck to them

Just remember , we pay their wages

No members, no millions to pay these guys

And when Brandon is receiving 500k+ a year, and signs on the dotted line, do you think he doesn’t know that his play on the field will be discussed publicly????

Brandon the person = private
Brandon the player = public

If any of Brandon’s family are hurt by comments regarding him on the field, then get fair dinkum and suck it up

Side note - I’ve seen you say some interesting things regarding other players .. you clearly haven’t sat with their mums at games

Lastly - his mum should be proud .. 250 games , 2x premiership player

Great job and career and kudos

Cool your Jets Damo

Wonder if Halfstep will give him a farewell game? Then we can farewell 4 of our premiership players....AT can chair him off....

Pick 39 compensation we got what a corrupt organisation the afl is all by that witch haunt by Barrett.

This was an absolute disgrace. Pick 39 for a first round picks in his prime on a massive deal.

Yet we got what pick 20 off for Vickery. Absolute circus the free agency compo. Keen to put the heat on them so we don't get shafted with Baker. Anything less than pick 20 is a disgrace.

Baker won’t be compo. A team will have to trade with us to get him.

Jack Graham will be compo.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Which should be pick 20.

Graham compo pick 20?

Replace the word should with ‘hopefully is’ and I’ll buy it lol

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Which should be pick 20.

Graham compo pick 20?

Replace the word should with ‘hopefully is’ and I’ll buy it lol

4 year deal $500+ is apparently worth a second rounder

Which should be pick 20.

Graham compo pick 20?

4 year deal $500+ is apparently worth a second rounder

Then there's supposedly other factors including where a deal fits in the new clubs cap, bigger the deal the better the compo

Just my opinion here but there shouldn't be any compo picks. The trade off should be clubs can trade players to wherever they like and contracted player doesn't need to agree. In most other sports around the globe that's how FA works. In the AFL model the players have all the control and IMHO that's not right, not a fair balance

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Maybe. But until then, I want a second rounder.

Shaped with Brandon Ellis | AFL Premiership Player Opens Up on Struggle, Success & Self-Growth

Shaped by Trent Cotchin


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSjp3PEGPq4

In this raw and honest episode of Shaped, Trent Cotchin sits down with former Richmond premiership teammate and ex-Gold Coast Suns player Brandon Ellis to discuss the personal experiences that shaped him on and off the field.

Brandon opens up about the powerful moment at Richmond Football Club that changed everything: the Triple H exercise - Hero, Highlight, and Hardship. For the first time publicly, Brandon shares his hardship of growing up in housing commission, his drive to succeed, and how he worked hard to buy a home for his parents to break that cycle.

But it wasn’t all triumph. After the ultimate high of winning his first AFL premiership, Brandon hit a personal low and shares how he reached out to Trent during this dark period and moved in with Trent and his family, finding the support and perspective he needed to get back on track.

This episode is packed with life lessons, mindset shifts, vulnerability, and personal growth from one of AFL’s most honest voices.
