Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
He's already got a big tank, his endurance was elite at the draft camp and would probably place him in the top 5 at the club.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
It's not so much running out games but running out an entire season. Ellis showed an excellent ability to run out games in the early part of the season, the challenge will be to maintain a high level of running ability whilst carrying a few niggles here and there. He's one solid unit so I've got little doubt he'll cope in the longrun, although this year would have been a bit of a wake-up call when it comes to intensity and physicality.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Yeah I would take that.
If Brandon can become a reliable footsoldier with a career like Newie's (with the inclusion of premierships ;D) then we'll have done well.
Beyond that would be terrific.

Pretty moving video on Roar Vision.
Hasn't had it easy that's for sure.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
He will benefit from a good pre season behind him. Did anyone else notice he tended to bomb the ball up in the air when he was under pressure late in the season?
He has been a really good pick up for Richmond though this year.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Totally agree that another AFL pre-season will make a big difference to a player that already has shown that he had more stamina than 90% of our first year recruits over the last decade.
I have seen more promise in Ellis than almost all the other players we have recruited in recent times, we need to recruit others as good as him this year to just stay at our current level in 2013.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
very good with one on one marking. showed heaps in one particular game against north. Plenty of pressure, he marked three in a row in tight circumstances. He's a beauty.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
I've said it before but he reminds me of a young Paul Chapman, when he had hair and wasn't yet a brick outhouse. Chapman developed A LOT and it took him several years to get there. Don't think Brandon will ever be the goal kicker that Chapman has been but physically that's who I think of.
