I didnt think it was Bellis's best game, but hes set a high bar this year.
He slide in head first and won a 2:1 on the HBF late that was inspirational.
He's bought in to 2017 100%

Weird comments considering all the talk today has been about the performance over the last few weeks, not just today. Thought Ellis had a good first half but was pretty ineffectual in the second. But Ellis has imo been the best of the 3 mentioned players over the last few weeks.

His first quarter was atrocious!! Turnover after turnover and it didn't get much better after that!!!!!!
Come September he is going to come under intense pressure and will need to step up.
I really really hope he can for the sake of my club, but im not pinning as much hope on him as you.
There were a few, but he has lots of good mates at the club and didn't want to leave.
Big turnaround over 12 months ago where the club was shopping him around.

x2. Had a great season. I will say though I like thats its 2 years. The old Richmond would have done 4.
It's easy to judge footballers as if they're robots producing statistics in a gameplan-controlled state, but they're not. He's a reminder of the human side of elite performance. And also why it's important to persist with people and fill them with confidence (one of Hardwick's strengths).
This is why it's so difficult to criticise from the outside. You never know which players could spike in performance with a little confidence and show of faith.
At a lower level, Taylor Hunt had moments and one-off games where he was a good player too, but the faith wasn't enough to bring it out of him consistently.
That is why criticism of Hardwick's selection of Hunt for example shouldn't be overly criticised, as the general philosophy turns players like Brandon around into what they are now as opposed to the alternative output. You can't bring out the best in some players without also showing too much faith in others in hindsight.

Stats say he had 3 turnovers for the game. So I think you might be exaggerating just a tad. 13 other players had the same or more turnovers. I re-iterate thought his first half was pretty good but was pretty ineffectual in the second half.
