I have seen other successful clubs over the years get overs for fringe players who have had success. This is our moment to do so. Other clubs will be watching how Lloyd and Miles are going and thinking that Ellis is a better footballer and will pay according. So if we get an end of first round I will be very happy with this. I will also be happy for Ellis who will get paid double of what I think he is worth.
i still dont get the ellis bagging, hardwick loves him and knows his all round skill and running power, as well as a solid 55m right and tidy 45m left, and excellent one on one overhead or scrapping it out on the ground.........dimma knows and appreciates his strengths and put him to work at many many roles, not many can do and brando won't be getting gassed 10 minutes into the last quarter.
my guess would be we will offer brando around 1.4m over 3 and wont budge much or all all
by either good luck, good form or more experience (others a year or 2 away from automatics) he has outperformed short (inj), ross (inj), graham (inj), garth, balta, naish, weller, higgins, butler, rioli, george, baker, bolton, caddy, broad, markov and menadue. and if you don't like that list.. tough...its also about reliability, effort, flexability and durability and ellis has those in spades.

Can’t believe he is a restricted free agent.
No way. No more then a 350-400k player.
Regardless of the players worth I can’t see us fighting to keep him.
List management will see what compensation comes our way before settling
It was the "excellent 1 on 1 overhead" that made me realise I'd been had
Ellis leaving and more room in salary cap with a potential pick as a bonus. This is not a dream is it?
Our list has gone past him. We have 22 footballers with skill and footy smarts. We don't need runners who lack footy smarts or skill. He's been great but is not required given the talent we need to develop (see Egg this week for debut).
Also, can't believe he would be in the top ten for salary cap. Pay him $300k or let him leave.
Brandon Ellis has parked contract negotiations as he prepares to explore his free agency options

Is almost completely out the door, as the dollars are huge. We can't offer the dollars, but we have intangibles.
He is a bit torn because he helped bring some friends to the club (E.g. Prestia) but the money from a couple of clubs is godfather like.
Don't mistake Dimma's open apology as anything other than retention policy btw. They feel he's really well suited to 6/6/6 and low rotations. But so do the other clubs.
Allegedly Ed Curnow who is known to have huge endurance has vouched for Ellis and said on his day, he can't keep up with Ellis.

I think the club would let him go for cap relief, and possibly trade another out such as Butler as well as the retiring Grigg.
They will want room to move to bring in another player down the track and to give some extra cash to juniors who've earned a pay rise.
He's a popular fella around the club Brando.

Agree , Norths offer will be well above what we are prepared to offer.
I see this as a positive BEllis will be switched on for the rest of the season and we should get a second rounder for him, I like it, I don’t trust him and I think the potential coming through will have him out of the 22 next season.
Norf will suit Brando
The pick we receive could land us a Will Brodie
