Ellis lifted his average up by 15 PPG this season.He started the season of slow but then hit a nice patch of scoring from round 10.He has that inconsistency in his scoring still but could easily up his average more next season.A lot of coaches are predicting him to get DPP Mid/Def and if he does,he would be a nice addition to the defence next season.

I wouldn't really be expecting him to get DPP - he gets a bunch of possessions around the halfback line as he is a go-to man out of defence for the Tiges, but lines up on the wing just about every week.

Could be a solid POD though ;)

Kid is a ball magnet, love him.

Played off a wing and drifting into defence this year. Would be unlikely to get DPP, IMO.

As a mid I wouldn't start him, but as a defender I would.

Boy would he be a dreamy DPP pick :(

Absolute lock if along with Dal Santo if he gets dpp. Surely we need a few defenders to get suprise dpp status to go along with all those premo fwds. If not then its going to be a tough line to get right

Does anyone actually expect him to get DPP though or is it just a pipe dream? I personally didn't think he was much of a chance at all :-X

A wing that runs into the backline for some extra kicks is still a wing.

This. That's why I'm not at all expecting he'll get DPP.

Yep, that's exactly what he does. Can't see him getting DPP unfortunately.

I actually reckon I saw him more forward than ever this year, cant say he has any chance haha.

Didn't get DPP.

Still think he isn't a bad mid POD option.

Annoying bye for that POD M5 position though. Would rather have the round 14 bye, so if they flop, you can swap them for a round 12/13er, avoiding a donut and maybe making any points lost back. Also if they do well, theyre less likely to stay a POD as everyone can jump on as an upgrade after their bye.

Not player related as such, but just something extra to think about really.
