No sucked into the free love handed out to Richmond kids by naive posters such as yourself. I have seen a bunch come and go. The kid has no composure whatsoever, hopefully that will change but I have rarely seen it. Said the same about Edwards and Im waiting to see it kick in. Have a look at Heppell's 2011 if you want to see a rookie with composure.

Horrible disposal every week? You must have missed a number of his games then.

And you obviously missed Edwards work in the middle tonight?
 
Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis

His last two weeks had been very solid, but gee he had a bad one tonight.

How many of his kicks get smothered?

This left foot around the corner kick he keeps trying when under pressure needs to be given away. Its a shocker.
 
Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis

Tired late but have to remember this kid is 18years old. Plenty of his far more seasoned team mates went missing in the second half also.

Wake up Tiges!
 
Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis

He was ok apart from a few mistakes, but yes he is only 18,
To be honest , I'm surprised he has played all the games, he needs a break ,
He was far from our worst last night
 
Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis

Hard to be critical, but he has missed to very getable goals when they should have been sealers, an 2 terrible clearing attempts ....he'll learn
 
Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis

He will learn lots from the mistakes he made. Will play 200 games for us.
 
Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis

I wasn't impressed one bit with his game tonight. Has dropped off a bit in his intensity and is making some ordinary skill errors.
Perhaps a long first season is taking it's toll.

He should be rested now and give him a good start for pre season and next year. He's played every game and he's obviously battling now. No need to run him into the ground in dead rubbers.
 
Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis

He panics quite a bit when he gets the ball in tight and just slams it on the boot. It's cost us a few goals in the past month or so.

Hey it's just an opinion. Take a chill pill. How did you assess his game?

Bit rude mate. ToOheys acknowledged that it's his 1st season.
The season is long for a 1st year player, who is probably getting a bit fatigued which is contributing to his current form.
