AFL Blowtorch 2017: Brandon Ellis

Ben Waterworth
FOX SPORTS
19 January 2017[/i]

EVERY season, players at all 18 AFL clubs fight for their careers and reputations.

The 2017 season will be no different — especially for these 18 men.

From the most talented and highest paid, to the out-of-contract youngsters hoping to remain on a list — many will be hoping to put together a flawless pre-season then perform when the home and away season arrives.

So who’s under the pump at your club?

Which players must produce scintillating 2017 seasons in order to release the pressure valve?

Here’s the player under the most pressure at your AFL club ahead of the season.

RICHMOND

Brandon Ellis

While skipper Trent Cotchin copped the brunt of the heat aimed at Tigers players last year, Ellis was arguably the most disappointing performer as the club plummeted down the ladder. After great 2014 and 2015 campaigns, Ellis’ output declined in 2016, averaging just 85.4 Champion Data ranking points per match — 15 less than in 2015. The first-round draft pick was also ranked 24th for average uncontested possessions, which was well down on his 2014 (third) and 2015 (sixth) returns. For Ellis, who’s out of contract at the end of the year, a big KPI in 2017 for him will be his workrate — a workrate that must return to its peak this season.

Player ratings - Moving down

BRANDON ELLIS
2015 pre-season: 191
Now: 240

Ellis moved from the wing to half-back at the start of this season and he has continued his trend of winning less of the footy. In 2014, he posted a career-high 26.1 disposals per game and that number is down to 19.6 this year. His kicking and decision-making under pressure have always been a query, and those concerns became particularly obvious early in this campaign.

Please trade him for a high 2nd rounder....

While he still has some currency

Pretty sure that I read somewhere a few months ago that he was part of a group of AFL players that wants to either reduce the number of years to qualify for free agency or abolish the restrictions altogether.....which could be interpreted as someone who wants out *he says wishfully*.....

For that to have any substance in regards to him, he'd have to be a player another club needed.

Lmao at that.

Thats what she said

Thought was very poor today. Does very little for a player that consistently doesn't man up at stoppages. This is fine if the opposing unmarked players don't have much effect but when Hill and Walters are running around unmanned and our 'unmanned' players includes Ellis, can't accept games like his today. Great goal at the end but wasn't effective at all compared to his opponents.
