I don't like the idea of any premiership player ever being booed, he gave a lot to the club. He might not have been the best player, but he gave us all he had. Now as has been stated in a few articles, he wants too look after his family. He wants to give them things they never had growing up & I for one can't begrudge him that.

Player Watch #5: Brandon Ellis - off to GC pick 39 as compo

I don't disagree with that argument, but my point was that Brandos effort and commitment was not easily replaceable throughout the year when we needed him . Roili on the other hand is a different matter entirely.

Pay the guy some respect you clowns, he is a dual premier ship player for us and served us well.now it's time for him to leave and he knows it. Good luck to him.
Hear hear, couldn't agree more, well put
Brando gave over continuous 170 games and was always up for selection as that hard running type, his endurance and durability have been severely under rated..... that really annoys me
i love all our boys.... and injuries and misfortune happen but so far
jack graham (massive concern now with 2 shoulder recos), jack ross, higgo
pickett, stack, short, garthwaite, english, lambert, butler, caddy and others have had interruptions with short/medium and long layoffs already.
whether by bad luck or otherwise
but my main point here is
brando is one of those 1 in 20 type that just dosen't seem to get collision, ligament or soft tissue injury.
wind him up and off he goes
cotch, lynch, astbury, prestia, nank, houli, rioli, revolt, vlossy, rance, grimes sheds are so valuable they will need injury management from here as they have all had issues and concerns...
yes we will miss brando in more ways than one
and to all those i put on that injury concern list...good luck with the injury gods.

Why the AFL’s free agency compensation system is a “rort”: Damian Barrett
Damian Barrett has described the AFL’s free agency compensation system as a “rort”.
It comes as Richmond is tipped to receive a first-round compensation draft pick for losing dual premiership player Brandon Ellis, who decided to exercise his free agency rights.
“There is no way Richmond should be given a first-round pick for losing Brandon Ellis, and this my point, this is the problem with this system,” Barrett told Telstra AFL Trade Radio.
“There will be outrage in the AFL world if the Richmond Football Club – the two out of three years premiership-winning Richmond Football Club – is to get a first-round compensation draft pick for the loss of a player who they could not commit to a regular senior game for next season.
“That will become the biggest rort in the system if Brandon Ellis is to present Richmond Football Club with an end of first-round draft pick as part of this compensation.”
Barrett expanded on his frustration with the current compensation process when clubs lose free agents.
“From the very outset of the AFL introducing free agency to the operations, I had an issue with compensation being given to the club which lost the free agent,” he said.
“Initially because it was slowing up the entire trade process. They’ve now worked out a mechanism in which it can be dealt with separately. It still doesn’t ultimately change my view on compensation being a rort of the free agency system in its purist form.
“A pure free agency system does not compensate for the club that loses the free agent.
“This is the problem with free agency, that Richmond Football Club can bring in a a free agent Tom Lynch last year and not spent a cent to get him and win a premiership on the back of it.”
Oh why don't you cry me a river you absolute flog Damian Barrett
Why don't you GAGF and EAD you piece of turd writing imposter news reporter
Who did you tip for the GF = GWS, you dumb ass campaigner, we know who you follow you maggot
He's frustrated because he hasn't got a life, career, a brain, a soul and he is a d##kless flog
FYI we didn't make up the rules you idiot, and bad luck we won the flag, you piece of turd
The only outrage will be that you are allowed to write this type of shite, why don't you crawl back to what ever rock you came out from

Don't like him
Damo is an idiot. If the AFL's formula says it's a first round pick, that's what we get. The real rort would be the AFL changing the rules due to public/media pressure to punish a club

It's simple...
Pick 15 in draft
One of the most durable players in the league
Dual premiership player
Can play on wing and amass over 30 plus possessions and can be moved to half back and play a shut down role
Very important player in Richmond's structure
Need to be compensated, and compensated well
Now guys, that's how we need to pump Ellis up and get overs in the draft...
Get to it

I would “like” this rant twice if I could
Wouldn’t be the first time the AFL changed the rules to Stop us. Look how that worked out this year. I’m not worried.

If we were a bottom club and Ellis was leaving and we got a end of first round pick as compensation no one would care but cause we are the Reigning Premiers you will hear a lot of complaints.

Free agency was never a problem or a "rort" until Richmond benefited from it.
Geelong not playing home finals at Kardinia Park was never a problem until they had to play Richmond in 2017.
We have truly broken the entire AFL community, their safe little world of "Richmond will finish 9th", "Richmond don't win finals" etc. is all over, and they can't handle it.
It's hilarious, let's just rejoice in their salt!!

David King complaining about how we got Tom Lynch.... "It's unfair cause Richmond are a top team now"
Barrett complaining how we get compensation for Ellis.
Notice how it's the same Nuffy journo's that come out with this stuff.
Mitch Cleary remained unbiased about stating the facts of how Free Agency compensation works to Barrett.
