Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Dont think there would be many teams that wouldnt play Jones in their best 22. Alot of that "scrap" is due to a poor side he plays in. He is still quite young (23 i think) so he has scope for some more improvement.
That being said Brandon Ellis any day of the week.

Yeah has improved a fair bit in the last year after treading water for a while.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
I know he had limited game time but this kid didnt hold back when coming onto the ground. Yes a bit of the sting had gone out of the game but he matched it - no doubt there. His work in close was great. Didnt panic.
10 disposals - 8 of them contested at 80% efficiency - no bad for a kid playing his 8th game in front of 81,000.
The kid has a future.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Yeah, I actually thought Ellis looked like he was moving quicker last night. Had some zip about him.
But not once this year have I thought he looked out of place. Last night he looked like the second year player and Conca looked like the rookie.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
I'd play him as a tagger on the outside mid types. Good tank, good defensively, should be able to hurt the opposition offensively. Perhaps he would have been a good match-up for Stanton rather than Jackson?

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Looks so clean with his hands. I would play him in the centre square or on a wing as part of the rotations.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Was really interesting watching how Ellis approached coming on as the sub this week, as opposed to last week.
Thought last week he ran around a bit like a chook with its head cut off and that he struggled to make any kind of meaningful impact.
Dimma, or one of the other coaches, obviously had a word with him and told him to take the game on, get the ball, back himself and really get involved.
His pace really was an injection that helped lift us, thought his composure was very impressive and that he made some good decisions in tight situations.
Really think we've got a quality young, quick, skillful and aggressive kid here and look forward to watching him develop into a quality half-back flanker swinging in through the mid-field.
On another unrelated note, also stoked to see Griffiths and Connors named in Coburg's best on the weekend.
Go Tiges!

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Great Disposal of the ball by hand or foot.Wouldn,t say he,s quick,Good comparison would be a Sam Mitchell type but with a lethal kick.
