Todd Elton's tangled web (Herald-Sun)

Tiger cub's tangled web
By Matt Windley
Herald-Sun
Sat 26 Nov 2011, Page 46

TWO days ago Todd Elton was happy to go interstate to pursue his AFL dream.

Now he's heading to Punt Rd via Phoenix, Arizona.

Richmond jets out on Tuesday for a week-long high-performance camp and its newest cubs have been told to come along.

``I got told to pack my bags,'' Elton said yesterday.

``I got along well with Brandon Ellis (Richmond's pick No.15) at the draft combine, so it's good to have another person you know.''

But had it not been for a spider, Elton might have been spinning a different yarn today.

Bitten during the national championships, the Dandenong Stingray was in and out of hospital for seven nights on an IV drip.

``I got bitten on the inside of the elbow -- I just woke up with it one day,'' he said.

``It started off not too bad, but then it just started getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

``It knocked me around for the carnival, but I tried to get it out of my mind and take it week by week after that. It was better to just concentrate on the job ahead than think too long-term.''

This one is a steal imo.  He is gonna fill out and is moving around in a way no one his size should be able to.  Brilliant project player imo.

Gee whiz that's an early call TBR.

But at least you're putting them on the line.

You'll either get murdered if he turns out like Richo, or hailed a genius

I reckon I've seen opinions on here based on less than my zero knowedge of young Ben.

TODD ELTON (Richmond, No. 26). Athletically, can do some incredible things. Can the Tigers bring out his competitive edge?

Todd Elton, who was perhaps the riskiest yet highest potential player in the draft.

Elton is more skilled than Post and much cleaner in how he uses the footy. If Elton can find some aggression then he should be streets ahead of Post in terms of how their careers pan out.

Throw them in the Thunderdome in Pheonix and see who wants to be an AFL KPP.

^ agree mate...think he is a great project player & if we can give him a few years, hopefully develops along the TV line where we can rotate the two through ruck/forward options...

Good on him, glad to be able to say I've tagged an AFL player;)

And took him out of the game... Remember it well.

Haven't seen Elton but Cleve was a lead, mark & kick forward mostly. Soft as eff but he had a lovely set of hands and was a dead eye dick. He must be wondering why John Anthony is still in the AFL and he isn't. Hopefully Elton can provide a bit more than Cleve did.

poo I hope he's not soft. nothing peees me off more than a big man who is scared.
