I thought Armfield did a terrific job. I also thought Brandy looked a bit off colour. A couple of his chases in the second half were very un-Brandon. Reckon he was either crook or buggered.

agree. at 1/4 time i was thinking how good is he, a couple of great passes to Jack on his left led to goals, plus 2 of his own. then nothing.
maybe Armfield was tagging him, i didnt notice but a article on the game said he was. perhaps he was buggered from our reported heavy training load.
whatever it was, still very happy with Ellis. very valuable all-round player. good skills, runs, hard and a goal kicker.
on a side note the afl site had an AA under 23 team. Martin and Cotchin made it. Vlastuin was mentioned as an unlucky, but no mention of Ellis. stupid 'journo'.

Said this last week before I knew of the loading period.,And it held true yesterday.
Ellis was the star of the first quarter but looked like he was running in wet cement after the first. This will be the taper week and hopefully Ellis and others look much fresher next week.

Thinking that maybe Ellis is so unfit, he couldn't run out past the 1st quarter? Of course we're fit enough, players will often be puffed after a piece of play. Fitness is about your ability to recover quickly, not whether you huff and puff at any given moment.
Hell he runs all day and pops up where needed today. He has a grade 1 kick on him and scored a couple of beauties today. In a couple of seasons he will be unstoppable
How far was that roosted goal? I was on the phone in the other room when he kicked it, looked like a speared 60m, can't have been though
the development of this kid in his 2nd year is unbelievable.
thought he would a good player for us but im starting to think he could be a bit better than good.
maybe even elite... fingers crossed

Yeah, we have a beauty. Just fits the team perfectly. Excellent outside and I am sure over time will get better on the inside. Type of player who will lift for big games and finals.
