Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Loved his press conference. Refreshing to hear a Richmond player sound like he has this nearly obsessive drive to get the most out of him. Loved that he got in touch with Dimma about seeking to get better than just an average player, and wanting to do that as fast as he can. Thats what I want in Tigs players, wanting to do more than just "make it at AFL level". There has been to many of that kind of player at Richmond for to long. Refreshing!

And big ivan for pick 37. We'd have to be the best drafting team from last year.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
he has followed his worst game of the year (against GWS) with a month of good football. as others have said he is looking great for a 1st year player. a solid footballer right now and hopefully will improve plenty.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Ellis paying $34 equal 9th at Sportsbet to take out the award, I reckon he'll finish top 5 at least.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Just watched his interview on the RFC website and he mentions that around a month ago he initiated a talk with Hardwick where the coach challenged him to up his game for the remainder of the year and they came up with a few more one on one training things he has been doing. Ellis states that he was sick of being an average player and wanted to take his game to the next level. Up to that point most people would agree that he had a good year for a first year player. Just shows the character of the man, it is people like him and Cotchin that will lift this club from a mediocrity.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Got a feeling both Wallis and Ellis will be behind Talia at the Crows. Obviously don't see or hear much about him in Melb. but he's been playing some massive roles for the Crows.Disco08 said:

Yep, reckon he's be right up there with the top 2-3 defenders in the least goals kicked on him.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
I heard that no one nominated after Rd 14 has ever won it? Can that be confirmed? Be a great feather in Ellis' cap if he can do that.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Thanks for the summary, was never going to listen to it, definitely impressive and also a good reflection on Dimma.vinpaul said:
Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Little on Dimma yes but mostly Ellis. For a first year player to not be satisfied with what most people would consider to be a good standard of play up to that point and actually go to the coach asking how can I improve is fantastic and speaks volumes. At a time when other youngsters are getting tired Ellis is lifting his game.
Was good to see him show some good marking skills of late also. He is strong for his age. Whilst he is not fast he runs all day. Plenty to like.
