Agreed... Guys like Caddy/KMac/Short can also be considered fringe 22 and all in roughly the same position. Reckon BEllis is currently top of that pecking order though.I don’t think the description fringe best 22 is that unreasonable. It’s not a knock on Ellis either it’s testament to how good we are now because he was once well up higher.
Think his omission from the finals last year is evidence of him being in that 15-25 range and he has to play damn well to stay in and he has been.
No different for K-Mac and the like and it’s a great thing.
I still see this as a holdover attitude from our poor years. Always looking for something to fix and someone to blame even now when things are going great.
Turner and Naish are young and have shown some good signs. Naish disposal looked pretty good to me when he played Afl this year. Another preseason and I’d say naish will be ready to take Brando spot.
Unbearable?This place will be unbearable when the inevitable slide out of finals happens, hopefully a 3peat first
Absolutely! But sometimes the lack of humility..Still a good time to be alive!
The Best if you're a Tiger born post - 1974.Still a good time to be alive!
Naish has an elite kick, but right now he is the most outside player at the club. Needs to get a lot bigger and tougher and certainly won't be replacing Ellis as a defensive winger (if there is such a thing). I think Stack will be a great 'defensive winger' and would love to see him start in that position next year. Massive upgrade on Ellis... apart from his running ability.Turner and Naish are young and have shown some good signs. Naish disposal looked pretty good to me when he played Afl this year.

Well considering Stack is playing forward pocket, he can't be that valuable at HB. Besides a gun winger is a valuable asset and one we haven't had in years... decades even.Nahhh canna see either Naish or Stack doing a winger's job!
Naish is a boy still! Stacky too valuable an impact at HBF...
I think Naish will be on the cusp very much round 1. It wasn't a criticism, just a fact that because of his lack of size he is not quite AFL size yet so he needs to be outside, but another preseason in the gym will make a big difference. Similar to RCD, he will be 193cm and 85 odd kg's next year, and ready to go.He might be outside, but he also absorbs a tackle and dishes, or at least that is how he is being coached and developed. I think this converstion will be very different Round 23 next season.
Pretty much out of anyone’s hands bit it sounds like it will probably happen.We could have five superstars coming through or five duds.
We could be savaged by injury or have minimal.
Who knows but people are a bit too keen to discard a reliable, experienced player who is coming into his prime years.

It’s going to keep happening and we had better get used to it, part of the territory I guess.
Personally I’m thrilled for the likes Lloyd and Conca and never miss a doggies game on TV.
Stack midfield or wing. Egg the forgotten man off the HBF.Nahhh canna see either Naish or Stack doing a winger's job!

People on here don’t have any say in it as it’s opinion based on the strength the club is in. Didn’t we add to our list with getting Lynch? We’re in a financial squeeze atm and the future of the RFC comes before any individual. It’s unfortunate, but it’s happening and even with lesser quality players such as Conca and Lloyd. I’m also happy for Miles as he was too good for VFL . I think Moore and Menadue will depart for more opportunities.We could have five superstars coming through or five duds.

I am a little bit discarding him. I think some of our bambino's might come on sooner than later. Add Bolton to potential wingman as well. Happy to keep him.... as backup (couldn't resist).People on here don’t have any say in it as it’s opinion based on the strength the club is in. Didn’t we add to our list with getting Lynch?

The club haven’t discarded Ellis as they offered him a contract and it may mean that the shoe is on the other foot as Ellis has put talks on hold. This is the right thing to do by him as you don’t get these opportunities in life too often.
It’s called financial negotiating and not discarding , but these have to all be weighed up against the future of the RFC being stronger and bolder.
It’s basic accounting simplified to what are the benefits in losing a player v his loss and it’s not only monetary related. I would love to keep Ellis until our bambino’s matured a bit more, but it maybe financially impossible or viable due to the high markets demand set by other clubs.
The bottom line is nobody is discarding him as it’s out of everyone’s hand at the club bc he’s put negotiations on hold in waiting to test the market.
