Mate I'll explain it to you. In football terms, which may not be your strong point, hence your haste to regurgitate the stats to promote your horse. I doubt you even watched the game.
CEllis' game was encouraging from the standpoint that for the first time in many a senior game - albeit a practice match - HE GOT INVOLVED. Kudos to the kid - he's been a bystander in most of 20-odd games at senior level. Yoiu DON'T average five handballs and five kicks a game as he in six games in 2017 by being a star or prime mover.
I marvel at the hypocrisy on here from some. If Lachie Weller, Liam Duggan, Nakia Cockatoo or kJake Lever - the four guys drafted closest to CEllis (either side) averaged five kicks a game we'd be hearing a whole lot of 'dud, delist' from posters on here, but the slightest critique of one of our own on here sends the masses into a frenzy and most spirited of defences, not to mention a Burke and Wills-length search for excuses.
It was a 6/10 game at best (credit to you on that) but to hear the lengths some go to make it look better is farcical. To borrow your phrase when alluding to A. Miles' 35 possession game v Sandringham last year, it was 35 meh possessions', which is what most of CEllis' possessions were, outside about four clever handballs. For someone who is being talked up as an elite, penetrating and accurate kick, I saw no evidence of these in his field kicking. I did from Short, who was noticeable breaking lines from defence and sending the ball long and accurately.
So congrats to Corey, he finally got involved. But I won't be changing my opinion on him on the strength of one JLT game at windy ol' Wangaratta.
