I personally think the thread title and op is just the work of poo. It's perfect fair and reasonable to have a view - the reality there is a case for and against almost all the time on draft night but the ways it's written is ordinary. Its just unnecessary to write in the way about a kid whose just had probably the best night of his life. Like it or not a 17 yo might read this forum to see how posters view his being drafted to the club and I reckon your thread would've taken the gloss off it. It's pooe form.

If only he could have got one more percent, it would have made the world of difference

You'd probably sexually harass me. No. If you can't see the difference between having a fair crack vs making an arse of yourself then film yourself in public and I'll buy some popcorn

75 kilos ?

His legs would weigh 50.
Backflipping and getting on board.

Good bod for modern football and @ 18 will be a strong lad in a couple of years.


Looks to be already.

I  nae claim to not be an ass, tbh. If the kid is going to break me mentality cause he reads non loving comment on the net then he is dammed before he starts.

A friend of mine at work is mates with one of the recruiters at Hawthorn. He asked about Ellis and the Hawthorn guy thought it was a good pick. They also rated Ellis better than Duggan, Ahern and Weller. Some of the crap about Ellis in this thread is so stupid.

I'm not saying don't be hard or even don't be harsh. Just think about it. You being a .... Well you know what I mean. The kid deserves a few minutes to celebrate being drafted AND the benefit of the doubt without xxxxx like you trying to tear him down before he's even pulled on a jumper. Stop behaving like a magpie supporter joffa

AFL Draft 2014: Corey Ellis, Richmond’s top pick, may require foot surgery

RICHMOND concedes its top draft pick, Western Jets midfielder Corey Ellis, could require minor surgery on his injured right foot.

Ellis, taken at pick 12 by the Tigers in Thursday night’s draft, suffered a stress fracture at the end of the TAC Cup season and missed the AFL draft combine.

Rival clubs on Friday agreed Ellis, 18, was among the best kicks in this year’s draft pool but said they baulked at recruiting him because of the injury.

Collingwood’s top draft pick from last year, Matt Scharenberg, had more serious bone-stress reactions in both feet and required surgery last February that ended his season.

But the Tigers say Ellis is back running and set to join pre-season training at Punt Rd.

They said minor surgery was an option if the foot flared again but it would not sideline him for an extended period.

“We were well aware he had a metatarsal issue that kept him out of the AFL Combine,” Richmond football boss Dan Richardson said.

“We will obviously monitor him but, as it stands, he is back running and looking forward to the pre-season.

“If any corrective procedure was ever required it wouldn’t have any long-term implications at all.

“We are thrilled to have a player of his quality at our club.”

The Tigers say Ellis, pick 33 Connor Menadue and pick 52 Nathan Drummond will help add depth to a midfield that can challenge the AFL’s best.

What a misleading title. He's fine, but if it flares again he may require surgery.

Was actually about to jump on board this kid but at no fault of his own I just can't now. Wouldn't give up pick 12 for Trengrove and a pick downgrade because of a stress fracture but use our pick on him get bent!
