Brandon Ellis

[tha8ball]

If he leaves I thank him for everything he has done for the club - will always be a tiger champion after 2017. However I won’t be crying myself to sleep over it. To me he is clearly replaceable and only a matter of time before he is squeezed out of the best 22.... I think he probably knows it to.

I think for the money that will be offered, we'd have to let him walk. The club will be backing Naish/Short/Stack to try and take his spot.

We have plenty of depth and he would be as much of a loss as Conca was. However we have invested heavily in his development and I would be starting with a late first rounder as a suitable trade for him

Naish with another preseason and an injury free Markov would comfortably fill his spot. Also next year we will have Pickett wanting a spot, Collier-Dawkins and Jack Ross forcing there way into contention. Yes he's a flag winning champ but we shouldn't let him go cheaply so a trade/pick/swap between 18-25 would be a reasonable outcome for him.

Ellis is a much better player over a much longer time than Matty White ever was.

That being said we do have a number of players who could replace him going forward.

One unnecessary brain fade with the resultant fifty against spoilt an otherwise good game

Though I’m not a big Brando fan , imho is a mile better footballer then White, most overattted Tiger I can remember.

Solid game for both his fans and critics today imho

 

[tropicaltiger]

Can’t believe he is a restricted free agent.
No way. No more then a 350-400k player.
Regardless of the players worth I can’t see us fighting to keep him.
List management will see what compensation comes our way before settling

Our list has gone past him. We have 22 footballers with skill and footy smarts. We don't need runners who lack footy smarts or skill. He's been great but is not required given the talent we need to develop (see Egg this week for debut).

fantastic and very smart today, awsum role game again, linked up beautifully in a slightly more attacking role, and when the boys got tired and sloppy in the second half brando was running around like a sprinter in a marathon.

bloke took a dive and those touchy 50s are often let go. ump sympathy for sure. very very efficient stats and team game again by brando. could probably pick out 30 more brain fades before mentioning brandos

 

[UKTiger]

Sure but when in Brando's link it is best to mention Brando not others

 

[The_General]

Brando is definitely best 22, but I don't think we'll be paying him the rumoured $500k Carlton and North are offering.

If he goes to anyone else, I think we'll be able to replace him with a small drop off. I think Naish or Egg could play the same role and that's not even considering others at VFL level.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Won't be devastated if Ellis moves on to greener pastures.
Is a premiership and that can never be taken away from him
But would like to think that the Tigers don't have room for him in its best 22 come next season.

 

[taraba]

I’d be filthy if he leaves and we don’t at least get and end of first round compensation pick. Motlop got Geelong that and you’d think they’re at least at an equivalent level.

If we did get that sort of luck then I believe it’s a win for us. Cap relief and grab another two mids with our first two picks. That would be perfect.

fair enuff, why not mention his 150 metre goal he got after his gutsy effort and then booming roost as well.

 

[zippadeee]

Today proves we need to let him walk. Against the worse side since fitzroy he jibbed it countless times.
They kick 8 or 9 he was directly responsible for 3.

And a dad not prone to taking potshots at the club on social media

 

[zippadeee]

The sooner he leaves the better we will be
He kicked a goal but was responsible for 3 for the shittest side since Fitzroy.

 

[tigerlove]

Ellis played a major part in Gold Coast's first 2 goals of the third. Always makes me nervous with the ball in the backline. I think we have better options coming up so I wouldn't be too concerned to see another club pay overs for him.

 

[AngryAnt]

Good player to trade out while he still has value.

 

[zippadeee]

Panic merchant even against a young inexperienced team like the GC. Needs to go ASAP
