mrposhman said:As others have stated its out inside mids that need to improve in finals. Players like Ellis need people to feed him the ball.
Look at the last 3 finals and see the clearances.
Carlton - Lost 38-49
Port - Lost 30-37
North - Lost 35-42
Its no coincidence that we have been smashed at the clearances in our last 3 finals and we haven't been able to get the ball out. We lost contested possessions in all 3 as well.
We have good ball users in the midfield, we need to supplement that with players that can extract the pill from contests.
This is why we absolutely need to get a player that can do that, either a superstar like Treloar (great clearance player), Prestia, O'Meara, Libba or on the lower end Redden.

Why leave Chaplin out of it, we haven't heard your thoughts on him yet.......pessimistic_ said:cause you are not funny, and make a silly comment
why not compare soft wingman to soft wingman? B Ellis to Grigg
my view is the both have down side, but at least Ellis is young, fit, fast, a high draft pick, has upside etc. ... unlike Shaun
leave you mate, soft key defender (that cannot defend) Chaplin out of it

Davidos said:Another failure in finals and then we should consider a trade
Tigertool said:Him or the entire team?
Davidos said:Where did I say entire team. This thread is about ellis

Tigertool said:You pick on Ellis for having a poor game when 19 others did. It just doesn't make any sense.
