I would argue he has shown plenty though. He just needs to put it altogether on a more consistent basis.

I agree that he's shown plenty of potential but during his 3 year career so far he's never shown he can play consistently well at the top level.

Is there a team limit on how many efforts your allowed to do?
If so somebody better pull Graham up.
So let me get this right, Ellis puts in 4 efforts in one passage of play and then sags off to cover Grimes man as Grimes follows the ball he kicked off the ground and Ellis is still at fault.

Is that correct?

I'm seeing a pattern here - the anti Pestia Club in early 2017 of 5 or 6 members last year that went on and on and on and then on some more, about miles >>>>Prestia have reformed as the anti Corey Club........................................Miles, Lloyd, anyone else >>>> Corey. o_O
Yes I’ve noticed a similar pattern also
That being the Ben Lennon , Tyrone Vickery , Taylor Hunt and Stevie Morris club has come along. FMD How old are you ? You must be the oldest troll on earth and by some of your posting most likely the most uneducated. As I’ve told you before just try and focus on the discussion . If not walk away as it’s dropping the tone of the place. :cry:

There’s no need to get personal. The discussion was going well, just debating Corey Ellis himself. You don’t need to revert to going the man to get your point across.

Don't worry, TI does this when he can't argue the point based on merit or fact. So he spews out the line about being deceptive and lying which I think happens while looking at his own reflection in the mirror.

There’s also need for you to do the same...

Just realised... how good are we travelling? How bloody good are we travelling?
No reason to diss the coach, the admin, the board, the depth or the playing list in general.
A 21 year old that is yet to live up to his draft position, his talent or the expectations is all we've got to argue about!
Happy days are here again. :)

Corey seems like a nice kid and I really hope he makes it. Personally I'm not sure he will. One of things I like to see in developing young players is them improve on the areas they might not be naturally good at. He seems to have good disposal at times, but nothing like the 'silk' that was spoken about. He's not quick and seems to lack intensity at times. Might not necessarily be his fault, there's many players out there and over the years the same where they just don't quite have that intense competitive instinct and it's not uncommon in players who through their junior years have been able to get by on sheer skill and ability at that level alone (I have no idea if this is representative of him at junior level, but it's not uncommon), but when it comes game day and live or die on the field, they can't quite get to the level required.

One area I always look at from a development point is, have the club given the player enough blocks of games in a row to get accustomed to the pace & intensity of the game ? Corey can't complain in this regard, out of his 23 games to the end of last year he was given blocks of 4, 8, 3 (only one game between the 8 and 3 missed), 2 & 4. He hasn't been in one week out the next.

I have a rule of throwing out the form book for round 1, just want the 4 points and no injuries and I'm happy to see him get a few more games while we have injuries, but unless he starts to show that he deserves to be in the 22, then I think it's back to the VFL and completely dominate there before he gets another chance

He wouldn't had to cover the outlet pass if he put himself between the ball and Grimes in the first place.The ball actually could be going into our fwd line.
He was never getting the ball. He was nowhere near it, the Carlton player was always getting it first.

I don't see you having a go at Edwards or Caddy who were in the play too trotting behind and peeling off into D50

For everyone else playing at home here is the whole play

Usain Bolt would have struggled to get between Grimes and the ball from where Ellis was when the ball fell at the feet of Grimes.

Thanks. Yeah.. nothing he could have done (except had Rioli type speed to make the Cripps tackle). Pushed hard to make numbers and the peel off is the logical position to take.
