Corey wears 32. The Ellis with the *smile* kick is number 5.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
Really think there is some truth in this.
Needs extended time in the midfield. Dimma's gameplan allows zero exposure to the midfield.
We are following the same path as Vlastuin. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Miles off it, he needs to win his own ball first and then give him some greater responsibility. Hates contact from what I've seen.

Gee travelling very well against his rising star peers. Disposal efficiency looking very good for a *smile* kick.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
Spot on. CEllis is timid and is afraid of contact. Have seen of these types come and go and tigerland. These types strut, show off they can kick but have no guts when the *smile* hits the fan. I hope he turn it around :spin

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
Needs to win more ball? The only tigers who got their hands on it more than he did tonight were Grigg, Cotch, Miles, Lids and Dusty.
Not bad for a 75kg 19 year old who's only played 16 games.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
His contested possessions are at the bottom of the class, this from a supposed inside mid. He's also padding out his stats with kick outs. I'm yet to be convinced he's an inside mid full stop, that concerns me given he's in his second year.
If you're content with an outside player lacking in pace then those stats will be sufficient. I would like to see a bit of mongrel, something that's a prerequisite at Melbourne these days. If Ellis turns into an inside mid I will be shocked, from what I've seen he will probably track in a similar way to Brandon Ellis, certainly not what we need right now.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
Right, but over the season he's been a very reliable kick under pressure or no pressure. I don't think too many players go through a game without an errant kick here or there. And younger players are less consistent. But his kicking to position is very solid from what I've seen. You may argue his softness (which I dont think is a problem either looking forward) but I just can't see how anyone can question his disposal quality.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
I'm not arguing whether he is an inside mid or not. Fact is he isn't being played there anyway. My point is he is playing well off half back and he certainly isn't a *smile* kick.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
Pretty bad look early seeing him miss that soda, then get burned by a 40 year old.
Still not our worst by a long shot.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
They are if a player kicks to himself, it's the main reason Heath Shaw racks up crazy numbers.
His kicking is fine when given space, no question. In the heat of a contest I'm yet to be convinced. Hope he turns it around but the vibe is another outside, one paced flanker/wingman.
