AUDIO: Richmond has booked a spot in the finals for the first time in twelve years, and RSN Breakfast spoke to Brandon Ellis on Tuesday, one of the Tigers' best in Saturday's shock win over ladder-leaders Hawthorn.
Listen here: http://www.rsn.net.au/audioplayer/1375743114.mp3* I’ve been pretty happy with my form. I’ve stepped up into the midfield this year, whereas I played back last year. It comes down the coaches. They believe in me, and they’re really confident in what I can give to the team.
* I’m loving my footy at the moment. I just can’t wait for the next four weeks, and hopefully we can play finals.
* I’ve had to work really hard. I’m still learning the game plan to this day. When the coaches tell you to stay on the outside and hold your width, it’s a lot easier to get the ball, especially when the inside mids are winning it.
* We know we’ve got a tough opponent in Brisbane this week. They’ve been up and down, but they’ve shown they can beat the best sides. We believe if we stick to our game plan and listen to the coaches’ instructions on game day, we’re going to be pretty hard to beat.
