Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Yeah. Our early picks now quickly look like good players who could one-day be great, rather than dud players who might be one-day barely OK.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Great insight this lis LTRTR, this highlights a lost era of development in our list!
Brandon is a most deserving nomination, he's a footballer's footballer.
IMO, he's be a good player in any era of the game!

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Just watched BE's presser.
He's a leader and should be considered for elevation into the leadership group next year.
I love the fact that he initiated the meeting with Dimma to lift his game, that's damn impressive for an 18 year old :clap
Also love the fact that he put Steve Morris forward as the coaches pet :cutelaugh

Couldn't agree more.
Great to see the Rising Star nomination.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
He's playing as an outside midfielder at the minute and doing a pretty good job. Hopefully he can convert into a clearance player because that's where he will be most effective for us IMO. Good hands in tight.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Doubtful, I just don't think he has dominated a game like some of the other nominees have. Would need to have at least one big game where he does something to make people stand up and take notice.waiting said:

:hihi Nice one Col. It reminds me of a Hawthorn supporter who called talkback radio after Goldspink retired and asked if Essendon would get an extra pick in the draft to compensate :hihi He crucified them in the 2001 PF.
Anyway well done to Brandon. Looks as though he will be a fine player for many years. A good footy brain, good strong body and a nice kick as well.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Said he has no special traits, and hasnt seen much of him to say he should be a first rounder. Kings got a big ego these days with all his dud media work.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
I know others have pointed this out his good 4th quarter already, but you do notice watching his highlights on the club website that he really did finish the game strong. Impressive for a young man who hasn't done a full pre season yet.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
He's looked tired at times, but for an 18yo to have played every game and be improving at this stage of the season is promising. Could see where King was coming from ealier in the year but I've raised my long-term expectations of Ellis.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
How about Tambling for Helbig, Elton and a second round compo pick? Pick 37 for a 26 year old A grade ruckman? Grigg for Collins? Raines for Dea? I can see why you'd be critical though. Schulz for Nason and Farmer is unforgiveable.
