Brandon Ellis
- Thread starter Tigermad2005
- Start date
Ellis asked Gold Coast if they could wait a week as he's still celebrating the premiership win.
i just got a mental image of 22 blokes running through the banner, bobbing their heads from side to side
Ellis goes to Gold Coast in 2018 - Richmond win flag in 2019
Ellis goes to Gold Coast in 2019 - Richmond win flag in 2020
Makes sense to me

That dude is *smile* weak its not even the strong zywiec beer that he is drinking
Once again paywalled but article in HS headlined 'The Tiger chat that left new Sun Shaken'
Apparently Brando was shocked when RFC told him he was no longer required?, I thought he was offered less years on substantially less money?, either way great career at Tige's but correct decision for all concerned, hope he does well up North.

I raised an eyebrow at this also. Had the impression his departure was by mutual agreement. HS reported at the time that he was offered $400K. It wasn't as though he was going to be delisted.
Here'tis ..... not sure if it's the full article tho. Nothing too earth shattering. Wish him all the best up there.

Ellis left "shaken up" being told he was no longer required by Tigers
“I was pretty shaken up and upset when I was told.”

there is a difference between not being a required player and not being a required player on the on the salary you're asking for. Ellis is not worth 500k and is a very replaceable player at a club with our depth. but good luck to him getting it elsewhere. We’re all aware of his family situation.

Correct - article uses the word "shocked" but Brando's actual word was "shaken".
And that's to be expected of any player/employee coming to the end of a lucrative contract when the odds are it simply can't be renewed at the same sorts of terms.
Hope he has a great few years up there and becomes an AFL 300 gamer.
According to the Hun article Brando says he was told mid year that he was not required. It does not sound like a contract issue.
Pretty sound and reasonable on all sides.
we loved Brando, he loved us.
he was being paid overs in the context of our elite list profile and played an expendable role.
we knew what he would give for the rest of the year and rewarded him with a second premiership medal.
A perfect, textbook departure. Doesn’t get any better folks.
