Brandon Ellis

[UKTiger]

Had a fantastic year.

I notice that majority of his possessions are uncontested. Will have his work cut out next week on armfield. Needs to really get on his bike to break the tag

He is one smart footballer so my guess he has learnt from the last Carlton match and will play accordingly. he has the talent

 

[Smoking Aces]

Simpson does not work the other way. One way traffic. Exposé him.

I don't mind the idea Scoop. Simpson seems to be on his own everytime we play them. Was a key player when they beat us a few weeks back

 

[Leysy Days]

Only issue is Simpson plays off halfback, not midfield/wing.

Be surprised if Hardwick moves Ellis from midfield to the forward group. Risk losing his drive off his wing.

King or White (if he plays) the obvious choices for leysy.

 

[tigerman]

If picked Petterd would be a good match up for Simpson.

 

[RICHO_12]

Needs to work hard to apply pressure on the other end

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Ellis is an absolute ripper. Will most likely become a GUN.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

If Simpson plays HB I would play King on him.

 

[Tigermad2005]

The best no. 5 in the land.

I'm hoping Ellis and Flossy are still young enough that playing in a final isnt a big enough deal to them to lose focus.

I'm hoping Ellis and Flossy are still young enough that playing in a final isnt a big enough deal to them to lose focus.

The bonus is that Flossy and Ellis have already played in front of the big crowds in home and away. The pace of the game will be what impacts them not the crowd size.

But both will be fine. Conca, Vlas and Eillis are a ripping second tier coming through. We just need to add raw pace.

To young to get too worked up. I'm more worried about the vetrans who've waited so long for this moment.

yeah, me too.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Shut down. Very little influence from Brandy.
Carlton's runners got away from him.
Disappointing end to a fine season.

 

[mainlandy]

Had a bad game, hopefully will learn from it

 

[Silent Bob]

Carlton's runners got away from him.

Agree. A ripping player but needs to work more on his defensive side.

 

[Punxsutawney Phil]

Agree. A ripping player but needs to work more on his defensive side.

A few do. I though Dimma had addressed this after the last Carlton game.

Last quarter there were Carlton players on their own everywhere.

 

[22nd Man]

Pity. He was one of many who found out the difference between final intensity and home and away.

 

[zippadeee]

Skilful & talented player BUT have witnesed him lately disappear quicker then David copperfield.
He will learn what is required to take him to the next level.
Pity Houli didn't handball to him to put us 38 up in the 3rd qtr..
Houli panick merchant

 

[Ridley]

Not great today but has had a good year and will be a very good player long term.

One thing he really needs to work on is his tackling. I have seen a few this year where he's just been brushed off. Needs to get cracking on that less it becomes in danger of being Grigg like in its ineffectiveness.

So your basically saying that "the Grigg factor" is rubbing out on our kids.
Get rid of him.....
