Perhaps I'm being over sensitive here, but how can you not take offense when you are told your "are extremely negative" publicly suggesting I am deserving off being blocked. Then no support forthcoming from anyone.
Granted I am a big supporter of club decisions and look to support whipping boys. This is unpopular and often controversial but "extremely negative" I am not.
I have no problem with posters blocking me, but If you are going to public personal statements you need to be on solid ground. I have checked my posts, I cannot see how anyone could argue I am excessively negative? As for my statement on Gore, in hindsight I would change my comment to "He looks the goods, but does he have a left foot, the limited footage looks unorthodox?"
Anyway, I have said my piece, everyone is rightfully caught up in the fun and excitement of the draft.
I didn't think your posts were overly negative at all, just offered a different perspective which is what a forum is all about. It was an odd reaction to your post I thought... Wouldn't worry about it. Things are so easily misconstrued through the medium of text
I was expecting tigs2010 to jump to your defence as he is the defender of the weak and protector of the innocent! So i didn't bother.
His endurance is only so so but it will build and he has proven he has the work ethic to improve it off his own bat as it was the biggest question going into the season. Couple that with elite agility and I think his size will be a massive advantage like Dusty as he won't lose any athleticism.
Sounds like he's not going to be a full time mid. I thought the saints would prefer a full time mid. Just don't understand why Brayshaw isn't in contention?

It's probably why he's already having hip issues
There was a worry Cotch wouldn't be a full time mid too. Sometimes you take the risk for the superior product.

All the talk that I am hearing is we are into Ellis for our first pick.
My understanding is that he is a utility and not a full time genuine mid can anyone confirm or deny this?
My concern is we have plenty of utility types that can run thru the middle but a real lack of genuine quality Mids...
Genuine mids
Cotchin, Miles, Ellis, ?.
Utility types
Conca, lids, Martin, Grigg, Newman, Lennon, Gordon, vlastuin
I think we need a centre man, rover and winger

Don't like it don't read it, if you have something constructive to say go ahead otherwise you can join the train with all the other keyboard antagonists...lol
He is.
as i thought, i was referring to the opening post saying he's a "utility"
Weirdest criticism I've seen of him so far. Definite mid though he probably won't start his AFL career there. Too skinny
Ellis is one of bigger accumulators in this years draft. Only player I can think of who racks up more of it and is expected to go high is Brayshaw, then in the second round the likes of Neal Bullen and Blakely are the more full time midfielders.

Was just thinking that there is 74 pages already dedicated to it but I guess you've just narrowed it down to a midfielder.......carry on.

I'm sold on Corey Ells. Don't really care much about his pace. If he can average 22 disposals and 5 clearances and can damage oppositions with his ball use and decision making i'm sold. In addition to that he can play any role.
They will be but they will have there reasons which is fair enough. My only problem will be if people are upset cause we have supposedly drafted a dud for which i am 90% we won't for there will be a s**t load of talent available at our pick and its just a matter of how well they develop over the coming years that will justify our decision to pick them over someone else.
exactly, Drafting is for 5-10+ years not just 2015
It will all come down to the draft as a whole. If they are all slow then we ****ed up. If we get pace later then we've done well.
Yep I'm gunna go ape s**t no matter what. Can't believe FJ isn't going to pass on pick 12.

to make ppl happier it says here that 13 Clubs interviewed Weller at the recent combine with us & Collingwood keenest on him.

Brett Deledio was drafted as a "Utility" too
Happy to get another one of him
