Brandon Ellis

Was surprised still only 30.
Played over 20 games a season for 6 years from debut. Only one under 20 in his 8. Got maximum value from him. Entertaining player to watch. Top 50 games played at RFC.
 
There are players who leave the Tigers and aren't liked but not Brando. Still loved by Tiger fans when he went to the suns.

Well played Brando
As a fan, i think it was impossible to "hate" Ellis for leaving for 2 reasons- he had clearly given everything in his time at Richmond, and we could never get near matching the money on offer.

And i think any suggestion Hardwick was anything but great for BEliis is crazy. Without Hardwick as his coach, there is a fair chance he would have stayed a flashy "soft" winger, without any premierships, and certainly without the big money contract from the Suns.
