Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Ellis will be the interesting one, will we play him from round one to get some games into his legs or will we make him earn his spot from the VFL?I haven't seen him do to much wrong so far but the kid needs to build a tank and will probably be a liability at this stage unless he is used as a sub. For the first time in years we have the depth to not feel like we "have to" play our first round draft pick from round 1.Exciting times......
For sure, i'm not having a dig at the kid just saying ATM i think he will be best suited for the sub roll to slowly get some game time and miles into his legs. I think he will be fighting for a position with Helbig and he is going o.k at the moment too, he also has a few more miles under his belt witch may just get him over the line just ahead of EllisAs I said, it's nice to finally have some depth.

He's About as fit as a rookie can be. Has been ranked very highly in our time trials.

I think Ellis has a body capable of stepping straight up to seniors, chose him because he's had a bit more ball than Helbig this pre-season and is a more defensive minded player. Would like them both in TBH.Don't think we have any depth though, the side was pretty easy to pick apart from the last couple, which was a choice between proven duds and unproven kids.
