But he also usually looks to kick backwards as a first option which makes my head explode every time.

As much as you gut a hate B Ellis he also busts a gut. He just is so buggered by the time he gets to the contest his disposal is crap.

Thats a very interesting observation that must be the reason he plays for the tigers and not someone else, seeing as this "rare" trait of busting a gut is very hard to find in AFL footballers.  What a lame excuse, he runs alot and cant dispose of it because he runs alot..I wonder if players like Issac Smith, Hanneberry etc have this rare trait? 

Just another light weight that will carve out an AFL career in a club that has offered careers to players who are of a sub standard in many ways, but luckily for them, our super recruiters are that good, the we havent anything better excuse, keeps on giving.  He posseses that uncanny ability to look busy and committed to the contest but rarely influences it. Be it tackling, the player he tackles wont really have to break stride and continue on as if there was nothing impeding him, be it, running around garthering inane stats and creating nothing with them. Then produces that 1%er and that one time in band camp moment, pulls the wool over everyone's eyes.   To put it in plain english, USELESS.

Says something about the game plan to be honest. Focused on him specifically at the game where we got smashed by GWS and yes he runs almost continually but he was running to the wrong places and when he was clear he was overlooked by teammates.

Someone needs to take him aside and present him with his role within a gameplan that actually works. I can't fault his work ethic but given his efforts he gets the ball way to little and has very little game impact as a result.

If we can harness his ability to run all day then there is no reason why he can't be a consistently damaging player to opposition teams. Quite obviously a chip chip possession style game doesn't suit him at all.

Will be watching the pre season comp with great interest in relation to us, think we'll be able to tell pretty quick if dumma has
switched it up.
Thus allowing some players to play more to thier natural assets as apposed to Benny Hill music.
If not loooong year and plenty of meldowns, unless they wake up and sack him!
