People talking about that play where Grimes ran past him, what people likely didn’t see were the three efforts he had prior to that taking place.
In terms of impact of his possessions, he had one direct goal assist and another passage where he started in the back 50, hand balled off to a team mate, ran to the wing, got the ball back and kicked a 40 metre pass to Dusty’s advantage who then got it to Jack for another goal.
That’s the type of impact he can have on a game. He needs to work on getting in the same positions more often, that’s for sure.
While I was at the game, I had a Richmond fan behind me, and he was glowing of the way Ellis was going about it on the night. Now I know that doesn’t mean much, but I sit in front of this guy every week and he can be very critical of a lot of our players so he isn’t the ultra positive type of fan.
It’s all about perspective though, and team selection will be interesting again on Wednesday. I think he will get dropped, but I thought he was serviceable and better than some of our premiership stars on the day.
