I have him for 2 Good games where he would feature in the top 10 , The match reports only have him in the bests in 1 game, But Happy to take the bet he would not be in our best 5
Take a look at LPD. More upside to that one... DYOR of course..

All those Bank shares bar the Commonwealth Bank go up and down...Hahahah I bought in at $25.80 just a few weeks ago and today its $28.15
I have Commonwealth it pays the bigger dividend$!
Could be right...maybe it's because i have so many Commonwealth Bank shares i take the big dividend for granted as the biggest...You might want to check that , Westpac pays the biggest Dividend of the big banks
Unfortunately he is quite one dimensional , as a result changing of rules can and has significantly affected his worth.
With the latest changes outside runners with high endurance are again of high importance and value.
However, like miles(below the knees rule) he is only one rule change away becoming worth little again.

If he is willing to take a pay cut then keep him, if not then I don't care if he leaves. He is best 22 and has been playing well since he went back onto the wing but he doesn't deserve to be one of the top 10 highest paid at the club
Could be why the Hawks traded for that running machine in Scully....new rules makes high endurance runners super important!

With our TPP cap so tight we need to increase salaries of players like Vlastuin,Higgins,Balta and in time Ross ,Rcd,Stack and more
We cannot afford to pay $400k to a player like Ellis where we have sufficient depth and probably upgrades available on our list that are younger
We will need to cash in a player like Ells and collect the pick as thats whats going to keep us competitive and ahead of the pack, Its also better for Ellis as well
He has his medal and will be able to earn $500k-$600k for another 4-5 years and will probably become a 300 game player
Brandon Ellis is surplus to our needs

End of first round pick!? People are really over rating his value in here. He would be a 3rd or 4th round, very low value and replaceable.
Having said that I would keep him, pretty solid depth player, seems like a good club man.

Would rather keep him to be honest but only if its for reasonable coin. Would not be upset if he left to get a bigger contract.
If he wants to go then take the best pick on offer, if he wants to stay give him a 2 year deal.
Pretty straightforward, no enormous loss or gain either way.

We do have Shorty out injured. He is a runner and could play Ellis's position. He is already on 500k I believe. I like the look of the backline without Short & Rance.
If Norf offer him 600k+ they literally won't exist in 5 years time.
Good player in a good team, will probably struggle a bit at lol.norf.
Edit: Whose the floggo who made lol.norf into Go North! ?!?!?

I'd love to keep him and I think he's definitely in our best 22 when near his best, He is one of our hardest runners and always puts in 110% for the club and that's why I love him. Whilst his foot skills are pretty average and he makes a lot of clangers he is able to make up for it with hard running and just doing the things that don't require any talent really well. Of course there are some weeks when he's awful but you can't be at your absolute best every week, what he does do every single time he plays is make it into our top 2 or 3 for the stat of most distance covered. That said, the club needs to manage their finances and obviously can't afford to pay him very much so hopefully he's not demanding too much and is willing to loose out on some cash to stay with us.
Not sure why you're bringing up last year. Ellis looks a different player to last year now playing in his natural position off a wing.

Brandon's problem is he shits the bed when played in defence. I think even his fans will acknowledge this. I have been calling for him to be played on the wing for about 2 years.
If he's in the top ten salaries at the club we are paying too much for him. This is not being nasty, it is being pragmatic.
We cannot pay overs for a player who costs us goals when he takes posession in the back half.
If some other club wants to pay him more than we can, then it's thanks so much and good luck, and you will always be a Tiger life member.
He's not the only player with limitations (e.g. Kamdyn - who I rate - has a terrible habit of butchering the ball into the forward line). But this is not the thread for it.
