I'm fully aware of that. I think there might be a stunt in his development though if we continually play him out of position though. His rushed kicks and slow decision making will improve with experience. The talent is there though, I think if we can manage him correctly, he'll be a good footballer.

Your wrong IMO , he takes ownership when he has the footy and often rather than blaze away he takes a little longer to size up his options or at worst get caught holding the ball . It actually is a very big positive with sides now often playing players behind the ball and setting up from behind the ball . It may not look great from the uneducated compared to a Grigg who bangs it on the boot and allows for it to simply go where ever but the value to the side is far greater .

We'll have to disagree then. Ellis was better last night but rushed kicks have been a predominant feature in his short AFL career. I really don't like him defense. Offers nothing defensively, very little offensively and would much rather Newman, Houli, Grimes or Batchelor to take that position.

When I was doing my ins and outs against Fremantle I would have dropped Knights. Knights however played really well and if he hadn't of kicked those 3 goals we might not have got as close as we did. Well done to Knights for proving me wrong and to the people that selected him to play.

I must confess I am wearing thin of some who are aligned with RFC and it is ,


Some of the supporters who post on Bigfooty .
Honestly how the heck do some expect to be taken seriously .
Most of what was written during the week was how rooted we were as we had injuries or suspension to key players and how much we were going to get done by . Even yesterday many were of thinking we were going to get mauled . Yet after a 3 goal win which will go down as a 1 point loss thanks to the fluro clowns , the coach can't coach , the selections were wrong . The same player many have been claiming as the easily in the best 20 in AFL, is well worth $600k , should have been multiple AA has again been tagged out of the game and is all of a sudden hopeless /shit weak etc .

This should have been the OP..
Some people on here would rather have a doomsday, negative, end of the world outlook than support. Pathetic.

What about how some people wanted to trade pick 9 to GC for Josh Caddy?
Vlastuin is already a far better player, Caddy still looks as average as he did at GC.
 
Always liked Ellis. Is tough and runs all day which means he is a keeper for me. I remember reading somewhere that the kid approached the coaches in his first season to sit down and discuss areas for improvement. Foley is the only other player to do something similar and these types have the drive and determination to succeed.

Just quietly though.. How can people be bagging a second year player? He is still only a baby, wait for him to hit 50 games before questioning the kid.
 
Would try to make him into a good solid B grade running wingman.
Still a 'bull at a gate' type youngster learning the game atm...played well though.
