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

[Diocletian]

Had a few squib moments and did the old Tambling soft shoe shuffle of uncertainty around the edge of contests a couple of times but generally played well and took the game on I thought. Was good to see him take a couple of strong marks again - a strength of his game that's been missing this year. Started to worry when he was even squibbing those against Melbourne because it's normally one area of his game where he doesn't lack courage. Go figure.

[Willy]

Yeah, thought he was orright.

Bit soft, think he'd be pretty good in a good team who run and spread. He isn't a contested footballer, no point judging him like one. He's tougher than Edwards is.

Need him to be a Nick Dal Santo type, needs to improve his skills a bit more.

[Rampstar]

very average footballer at this stage of the proceedings, hasnt come on and has gone backwards at a rate of knots. very disappointing from Brandon.

Should play Grigg's role.  That's the problem with our depth.  In a good side Conca would be their Thomas, Houli would be a depth player at best etc, etc......

Time to bring in the kids and give the other established kids more responsibilty and better suited roles.

Agree, whilst he isn't our biggest problem, he's the one who annoys me the most. If you watch him on tv he seems OK, watch him closely live and you will see a lazy, unaccountable, non chasing more talented version of Grigg. For a guy who's supposed to be an elite runner, absolutely jogs when when the other team has the ball and is always caught in no man's land. Needs to tag for an extended period of time until he develops a defensive side. Wouldn't be tolerated in a Ross Lyon coached side or another team where everyone is accountable and where they don't spend their lives checking out the stats sheet.

Agreed. Even Cotchin and Lids are heading that way. Martin will get it before Flossy though.
