Brandon Ellis

[spook]

Yep, had a shocker. KMac or Pickett to replace.

 

[Ridley]

Stacky?

If his ankle is repaired he’s the one.

 

[The_General]

One of the worst 17 disposal games I've seen. But it was the stuff when he didn't have the ball (or when he tried to get it) that was horrible.
Just had no physical presence.

It's now up to Kmac etc to play well to give us an alternative. Certainly a bigger bodied player might be better than Brandon. At least with a K-mac type, we know
he's not going to shirk a physical contest.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

He’ll be watching the VFL prelim nervously.

 

[tigers80]

Nancy made an appearance tonight.
He was diabolical and putrid.

 

[tigertim]

I still reckon Dimma won’t drop him.

 

[tiger76]

As long as he’s negotiating with teams that won’t be playing any finals games he’ll be sweet.

 

[zippadeee]

What did people expect?
He was atrocious. The Missed tackles got me so angry.
It started even before the bounce. Robinson is bumping him and he just moves away. Bump him back you soft Kok.
The sooner he leaves the better my blood pressure will be.
He is our Achilles heal.

 

[Tames]

Ellis hates contact, always has. As handy as he's been during the season, the pressure of finals and avoiding a contest don't mix.

 

[tigersnake]

terrible. everything he touched turned to *smile*. has to go

 

[rensman]

Fell to ground way too easily and way too much tonight for some reason

 

[Smoking Aces]

He can’t survive after that game. He was just plain soft.

 

[eZyT]

That was a game for the Bellis highlight reel.

Marlion and Kmac will smell the spot and fight for it

 

[22nd Man]

Never redeemed himself. Weak in the contest. Home and Away footballer. Contrast Graham Caddy. O Brando you were so much of the RFC story but that was so far from the benchmark.

 

[hutstar]

That was a game for the Bellis highlight reel.

Marlion and Kmac will smell the spot and fight for it

Whatever his weaknesses, Kmac gives a crack, and that's why I like him. wouldn't bother me at all if that was Ellis's last game for us.

 

[frickenel]

He's ok until there is serious heat in a game, then he struggles a bit. Struggled a lot last night.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Dimma loves this bloke like an adopted Bangladeshi street urchin. Pickett needs a 32d 4g game to have any chance.

 

[Midsy]

Won’t be going anywhere - carries too much intel.

Read Mitch Robertson’s article on wingers if you want to understand why he keeps getting picked.

Kmac would be his only replacement. Pickett and Stack no chance.

 

[kiwitiger]

Good wheels, but continually looks nervous and panic stricken while others look composed,

That’s his Achilles heel

 

[zippadeee]

After last nights game Gold Coast wouldn’t chase him.
It would be funny, that no other club shows interest and we just delist him.
Where are all the ‘I love Ellis’ supporters?
He has to be dropped, and the way Hardwick was talking about Stacky. It looks likely.
