These kids love footy and only want a chance and are getting knocked already by posters before even starting. My example was purely to see how life can be cut short from something you love and should encourage kids to make the most of it. If all you got from my post was that, your clearly are the disgrace champ.
Welcome to OER!
Now, its best they get used to it early, it is character building.  It is no good having mad skills like Bruce Lee if you weigh as much as a house cat for example or float around the ground if you then kick like you got saturday night palsy.  Don't worry we will get em on the Relton diet and Richo is gonna do some kicking practice with them.

Must something wrong with me

Prepared to give the kid a chance.

Pretty disappointed with some comments here.

Don't like the selection whack the recruiters but don't bag the kid, he deserves our support.

He is now a Tiger and right now that's what we should focus on IMVHO

Jackson's exactly who I'm blaming.....good luck to all these kids and desperately hope they prove us wrong.

2014 Draft, pick 12: Corey Ellis
richmondfc.com.au 
November 27, 2014 7:35 PM

Richmond has selected Western Jets midfielder Corey Ellis with its first pick (selection 12) in the 2014 National Draft.

The 184cm, 76cm 18-year-old represented Vic Metro at the 2014 National Championships, where he averaged 14 disposals and four tackles per game.

His standout performance was a 21-disposal, seven-mark game against Western Australia.

While playing for the Jets in the TAC Cup this season, he averaged 22 disposals, 3.5 tackles and five clearances per game.

Ellis suffered a foot injury late in the 2014 season, causing him to miss the AFL Combine, however Richmond’s recruiters saw enough to like about the smooth-moving left footer.

“Corey is a classy midfielder, who is one of the best kicks and decision makers in the draft,” said Richmond Recruiting Manager Francis Jackson.

“He is a tough competitor with good endurance, and is rarely rushed with his disposal, even when in traffic.

“He is outstanding at creating offence and scoring opportunities for his team.

“Corey is still a little light, but has all the attributes to develop into a quality inside midfielder at AFL level.”
