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

[DCrane]

Brandon made a few blues today, and if he has a licence to run through the middle, he needs to do more damage. Nonetheless was our best player today.

[big tone]

Not our worst... I'm glad that's how we mark our young talent.
Like most of our soft footballers, was nowhere to be seen when the game was on the line. Ran around in circles and kicked backwards as usual.
We keep blaming our Moneyball players but in reality our youth are just as bad. Vaulastin is the only one worth watching at the moment.
Since the 2008 draft only two players IMO , Dusty and  Vlastuin would get a regular game for Hawthorn. The rest are SH/7!
The same old people will have the same old excuses but it's true.

Was OK

Certainly wasn't the worst

Who does that title belong to WP?

Which title? Worst?

So many to chose from but reckon Chaplin would go to close, for a leader offers nothing

That Chappy got voted into the leadership group says something about the voters.  You'd have to think that they don't know what to look for in a leader.

Ellis stands tall

Talented, young midfielder Brandon Ellis is embracing the extra responsibility that’s come his way within the Richmond line-up.

The 20-year-old, who is in his third season at the Club, wants to do what he can to help ease the load on the Tigers’ playing leaders

“I’m getting on to 50 games now, so I think there’s a bit more pressure for me to stand up and perform each week.  I’ve had the experience from my first two years,” Ellis said.

“I think this year and, hopefully, the next couple of years, I’ve just got to stand up and help ‘Cotchy’ (Trent Cotchin), ‘Lids’ (Brett Deledio) and Jack (Riewoldt) out when they need help and when they’re not going too well.”

Ellis was a shining light for Richmond in last Sunday’s loss to Hawthorn at the MCG, picking up 32 disposals and working hard to generate some much-needed run for the team.

as always the timing is impeccable..

[WA Tiger]

He butchered the ball, panicked under pressure, gave his team mates hospital passes and hand balls and he was a "shining light", oh me, oh my, 

[Mr Magic]

To put it bluntly I thought he played crap despite 32 touches.

One good game and 5 poor ones now from Brandon's buddies.
Been a big disappointment so far this year.

For Mine Monkey he was BOB (Best on Bench) 

[Mr Magic]

Brandon is running in circles and running out of puff.
Just has no clue right now and is labouring in games for a guy with supposed elite fitness.
One of the year's biggest disappointments continues.

WHY?

WHY?

Watching him on the replay he is one of the players who trys too much fancy poo & he is not using his brain. Kicks short, trys to take someone on when a kick is the better option.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Needs to be dropped.
