Agree. Spends it before he's got it in traffic. Pretty confident this will improve and we have a gun.

Shirked the issue a few times early in the season but seems to have rebar up his clacker the last few rounds.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
a couple of costly fumbles and could have gone in harder at times, but tracking well for a second year player. generally his hands are clean, just needs to toughen up around the contest and not take his eyes off it. this will come with a couple more pre-seasons. has good run, spread, link up and delivery.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
aim high mozza. Think Luke Hodge
People are scrambling to get him on their dreamteam lists like he was a full brother to Black Caviar.
Should invent a new syndrome for this kid, the opposite of 2nd year blues ...... Brandon has the 2nd year TIGERS

I'm a fan but he needs to get rid of the bobbly head (when he runs). Don't like it in jockeys or footballers.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
It is always nice to have a clean disposer off the HB line. In Houli and Ellis we currently have two.
If he keeps this up it will be interesting to see how he goes once opposing coaches start putting in an effort to restrict him.
But he seems to have passed the 1st stage of being an AFL footballer.... by showing he can be a good contributor when no one really gives a crap about him.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
I keep saying this, this kid has wonderful marking ability, particularly one on one, does not get beaten. Great attitude. One of my favourite young players on our list.
Well done Mr Ellis.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
Think your selling him short Juffa. He already tries to get the ball forward of half back. The next step is getting kicks forward of centre. The most important runners carry the ball or find space at the back of the centre square and carry it over the line to set up attacks. That's Brando's next step. No wide ball, more attacking kicks over the middle. But the most pleasing thing is that he is improving rapidly.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
It's the ultimate way to beat zoning isn't it. He regularly takes those one on one contested marks up towards the wing and they often save us form a fast rebound.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
It has been a hallmark for teams like Geelong and Collingwood in their premiership years. You can't get every possession uncontested. If he is that strong then he will be targeted more as time goes by.

Re: Welcome Brandon Ellis
agree with the above,,, excellent over head mark... just when you think the ball is about to sail over his head, his final stretch, timing, soft hands are perfect. Running mid down the track who can go up forward, a bit like dusty and take a few marks.
