PS. Any one still calling for Chris Johnson to be delisted needs a good, stern, navy blue boot to the head. He was BRILLIANT. Should feature in our team each week if injury free.

Agree with this.
Has found a harder edge this year (needed to) and is a far better footballer for it.
Also agree.

But this year we are doing much better, because we're playing in the Grand Final... again!
Doubt it. GC have put an offer on the table for him. He will stay on the senior list.

No bias.
Browne isn't a world beater, yet he ticks more boxes than Ellard. Better overhead after he leapt a mile to intercept a kick at CHB and recovered quickly to move it on. Plays the same role too after he beat a Bulldogs listed rookie who has starred this year. I see more ability in Browne than Ellard.

I didn't like what I saw from Ellard in the final against Sydney, so it isn't just one example that has me querying his place. Ellard is one paced and can't kick over a jam tin. If we delisted Ellard, I doubt that another club would draft him to improve their list's bottom end.

Speaking of bias.
I am shocked that anybody who watches football regularly could possibly rate Steven Browne above Ellard.
Seriously.
Seriously.
Yeah, think TG has lost the plot on this one 
I think I know where TG is coming from in that on paper Browne should have more tools to work with. Ellard seems to be extremely motivated, extremely professional and extremely hard worker.....what you want out of a rookie.....has worked his backside off to get the best of what he was given. I reckon Ellard is playing a role in the side and doing it to the absolute best of his abilities, and doing it better than Browne has when he has had his opportunities. If you can't see the improvement in him then you've got it wrong. Having said that, I reckon he has touched on his relative weaknesses and I still think he will be up against it as we continue to strengthen the list.

Browne's first year was as good, if not better than Ellard's role as a tagger this season.
Ellard was nothing until a run of games in the second half of 2010.
You want to dump Hampson to keep Jacobs at any cost and play him ahead of Kreuzer in the ruck, so I think you're in the same boat with your view on a player. I'd disagree with anyone who thinks Jacobs will be better than Hampson at 25 years of age. So don't be so condescending because I haven't a different view. Browne has played midfield before where he's run with Rich, Masten and through the midfield against St Kilda in a good run of games last year.
Browne filled in admirably for Houlihan as a defensive small forward against WC this year.
Browne can mark and kick 50 plus.
Ellard is a small forward who developed into a one paced tagger.
Rather go with Browne for that spot on the list and move AJ back into a tagging role next year.
Delist Ellard and put him back on the rookie list if that's possible.
That's where your Andrew Hoopers, David Ellards, Jaryd Blairs, etc.belong.
Man, you must really hate short people.
Wouldn't pigeon hole Ellard as just a tagger, he does a fair amount of grunt work in the middle as well.
Browne had many opportunities and clearly didn't do enough to keep his spot in the side. If he's still on the list, he should be working on improving enough in one position so he becomes a stand out, rather than a jack of all trades.

If you think Browne is so much better than Ellard then why didn't the MC pick him ahead of Ellard?
because the mc wanted to have agood look at Ellard to see whether he is a keeper or not. Having seen him, browne ticks alot more boxes.

So admirably why was he was not brought back to fill in for him again when he was out injured for the last few games?
