Brandon Ellis

Not like Brandon to go directly across the ground from CHB in last minute when we 3 points down, and not even look up thr middle where there were 2 spares screaming for it.
Old habits die hard..

he must have played ok if only 1 post has been written about him 2 days after the game.

True. Just wish he scanned the corridor more often. He is better than he was
 
B Ellis is a forward running attacking wing, not a back half mid.
He was great three years ago until his role was changed.
Work it out for yourself.
 
His hands have been increasingly brilliant for most of the year. Lightning speed. Smart too. I thought he was close our best half dozen. Played the game right out.

We had a few players with fairly conspicuous body language failures in the game. These seem to be customary now in all teams. In finals. Grand Finals. It's out of date to whinge about them. Or I would. I still judge the larger players more harshly for these but I'm getting over it. And anyway I'll always forgive a half back.

Brandon was still running in the last quarter. And we're seeing now that we have a running side how important stamina and will are late in a game. And experience.

Brandon is twenty three years old. His head seems to be in the right place again. His hands have levelled up - he's usually elite. We need the rest of him to do likewise.

Another very good game today Brandon. I apologise for hanging sh~t on you earlier in the season.

Yep antman. Hard at it, good kicking, smart decisions, a couple of good marks and a great goal.

No one had a very good game today. One of the worst games I've seen in ages.

General quality wise spook? I loved our play-on, run and carry, and even opportunities inside fifty. A few fumbles from some players, didn't think Bellis was one of them though.
 
i dont see it!!

is he really that good???

I watched the game on TV ...........................he must do alot off the ball ..........that the cameras dont pick up

not for me .....................Townsend is the go
 
De-programming of that horrendous game plan from the last couple of years from his DNA is just about complete.

Never lost faith. Keep going Brando.
