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

[Mr Magic]

Watched quite a few contests' of Brandon's against the Dons and think he's just about near the biggest cat we have.
Face of the footy club? Lol.
I'd drop him. Kid needs a rocket.

[crannyvegas]

Could be the most frustrating player on our list! Did I miss something in his formative years, did he get cleaned up by someone? Have a crack at the VFL & get after some big clearance and contested numbers. Cannot play scared.

[Judge Roughneck]

Squibbed it ala houli

There's no a player between him and conca.

Sorry, her.

[Martin]

This guy should be sponsored by the RTA and wear a one way sign!

[Mr Magic]

When he first arrived I wouldn't have thought him to be a soft player but he's showing he is. Geelong wouldn't cop his half hearted efforts.
Mentors, Grigg, Houli etc. have shown him the way.

[Diocletian]

Go Brandon !!!

So now you're saying he's a Jet(t)?

Yep

It all comes back to the coach - this is why I am actually laying most of this mess at his feet (which is not something I have traditionally advocated).  By not punishing  CONSISTENT half arsed efforts from houli, grigg and co the past 3-4 years, he has allowed young impressionable players to develop/copy bad habits. Watching newman refuse to man up hasn't helped either - msg is if you are a run and carry or release player, don't worry about anything else

Spot on, you political refugee

Spot on, Ellis has gone backwards this year.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I've turned on Ellis this year and rightly so. Fradulent footballer.

[big tone]

I'm not glad Ellis is soft, I'm just glad most can see it now.
My mates I go to the footy all now agree with me after defending him for a long while.
I think he needs a run in the twos and they should play Arnot. We need guys that are competitive beasts.

this year?

He's playing the same way he always has

As I said in another thread; when you are winning things that are problems get ignored, when you lose there is no place to hide and the problems glow for everyone to see, that's what has happened here
