He had a good game today but the only issue I have with the likes of Ellis is he had zero tackles. The defensive side of a number of our players is lacking.

Edwards played well as you would expect from a downhill skier, and Conca well his usual ordinary self missing targets getting in players way and doubt he would have laid a tackle or put any pressure on opposition players

Trade

That sounds more like it.

Hasn't Conca been one of the few that has tackled this season?
He had two tackles today (not zero).

Conca is our leading tackler this year (69). He's also averaging 5.8 per game. Ellis has 36 tackles for the season at 2.6 per game.

Has had a pretty good month Ellis, don't think there's been a game he hasn't chalked up 30 + touches , covers more ground than a Kenyan marathoner , turning inito a nice little player just quietly  :shh

Watch the VFL game today? Conca played a very good game and averages 6 tackles per game. Watch the game again and pay attention to his hard ball gets, blocking, link up play, hard running yes including defensive, hanballs in close. Solid player :whistle

Well stuff me dead let's sign him on a 5 yr deal

I said I doubt not I know 100%

Sorry to offend you Reece but you still should be traded or you will be the next S Edwards on our list

Hit the nail on the head

Decision making is riddled with errors

YBB I'd take Ellis on 1 leg before Conca now and in 5 years when he reaches 200 games

Agree let's trade him while his value is high
