If that was a 1st yr player(Higgins) you'd be telling yourself we have something here.CEllis's disposal i have no issue with at all.The issue is we never hardly see him with a disposal.
Sorry mate .... you should know me better than that. And you obviously don't read what I write. Unlike 98 per cent of this board, I don't go ga-ga over piece of play or one handy or even outstanding debut. It's not how I roll. Like how others did two weeks ago when the same bloke nailed a nice pass to a forward v Essendon. It was what it was ... a nice pass .... one. That is, one of about 120 nice passes that Richmond players executed. But in desperation to talk a player up, or keep to their narrative, it gets built up to be something way more than a piece of normal football that a player getting $250-$300,000 a year should execute. As I suggested earlier, if you read what I write on her, you would understand I am probably the most cautious bloke on here when it comes to player expectations, to the point it irks me when others go into a frenzy after one game - as they did with Markov two years ago - and immediately label him the next star or - as some did - a future 300-game player. He'l be flat out reaching 100 right now, let alone 200 or 300.
So I'm sorry that this disappoints you, that I don't fly off the handle and tell everyone, in your words that we 'have someone here' on the basis of one good game, be it CEllis, Higgins, CCJ, Markov, whoever.
But I will retain faith in what I know and perceive to be a future footballer as I did with the likes of Lambert and McIntosh.
And yes I agree, one of CEllis' major issues is he simply does not get enough ball. Mind you, when I have suggested that previously, I've beentold I am wrong on that too.
