Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
I think this is the biggest issue that Bully and I have had with what we do at the draft table.
Don't try and outsmart everyone every year. The most obvious pick is normally the right one.
As for Ellis, he needs to be as Spook has said, a Nick Dal Santo clone. That's the game style he needs to play.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
He does move in a similar way - From that perspective I understand your comment ...
I wonder if he will add the required bulk and fitness this offseason to be a regular next year.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
I dont reckon players like him need to get a whole lot of ball.
If Burgoyne gets 20 hes had a day out.
Frank's first round record sows some big doubt in all our heads, but I reckon this kid'll be awright.

Dosent have the tank of his namesake, however with 2/3s of his posessions I'd imagine he'd have a greater impact playing in the same role.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
Coming into 3rd season, we really need to see Corey stepping up. Suspect he will either be play off HB or HF initially but be given shots through the middle. Reckon we will rotate mids through the forward line quite a bit this year rather than play too many forwards.
Had only 3 games of 20+ possessions in his 17 games. Needs to get his average up to the 20 mark this year IMO. He uses the ball really well, we just need the ball in his hands more.
Hopefully big season coming up.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
Dont think he will ever be a bull, But if he gets some confidence and the ability to feel at home he could become a decent footballer but dont think he will ever be an elite mid. B-B+ grader at best i think

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
He was a boy against men last season and wasn't playing in a position that suited him but he did OK so hope for an injury free 2017 to see how he goes. I am quietly confidentMB78 said:
Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
We constantly played players out of position this year to try and find a half back flanker thats any good. We tried B Ellis, McIntosh and C Ellis down there before we found Markov and Short could play down there.
I'm expecting C Ellis to play through the middle a bit more this year, maybe rotating off a HFF into the midfield. If he can get his touches up to 20 average then he will be going ok and I think once he fills out a bit more will end up being a good player for us. Doubt he will be a superstar but can certainly end up being a better version of Grigg for us IMO.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
its interesting how people rate individuals. Chris Newman primarily played the same role CE has been asked to play (so far) at Richmond, yet he's expected to average 20 possessions in his 3rd year of footy while CN averaged 15.9 disposals for his entire career and was loved by many fans. not saying I disagree with the above comments btw, its just interesting how people look at things.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
I agree with you, but my thinking is he should be pushing more into the midfield this year rather than being based off half back. He needs to transition into the role that Grigg currently play for us.

Re: Welcome to the RFC - Corey Ellis
I want him trying to kick into our forward line. He doesn't have enough run to create off half back for mine.
