He plays a different role in the VFL doesn't he....more of a midfielder?
Let him duplicate that in the seniors.

Did he hurt his knee in his 10 minute run last week?
I'm struggling to understand why Jamison isn't in as well, he's streets ahead of White as a back, got through the VFL last week OK and is fit enough to be named as an emergency.
I'm happy enough with Ellard getting a game on the back of good VFL form, like most here I don't think he's a long term senior player but its hardly a star studded line up, more than anything I'm disappointed that Jaksch, Boekhurst and Whiley can't force their way into a team that's won two games.
2014 was another draft wipe out by the looks of things.

I'm assuming this is in reference to Ellard, although it could also be said about Watson.
Why you have a go at Ellard, but try and persist with Watson is beyond me.

I reckon Walks went in to the last game with an issue. The club may think Jammo is cooked?

Watson needs a block of games, like 5 or 6 which has never happened for him.

It actually did happen a year or two back, Matt played about 5 games in a row down back and started to look very comfortable and capable, then he was dropped or injured and it never happened for him again.

Looks like youre right! Taking so long to get a game in 2013 then bits appearnces in 2014 masks this.

2013 - 5 games: R16,R17,R18,R19,R20

I don't think anyone could say Ellard hasn't been given a fair go.
(Having said that, I think he's probably got those chances because he's been set specific tasks by Mathouse and done what was asked.)
Watson on the other hand was given a bit over half a game this year...
A game where the delivery to the forwards was dreadful and we were smashed.
Still as I've said before, the way for Watson to get games is to demand them with performance.....keep the pressure on.

OMG. NOt rocket science.
Ellard rookie pick, no weapons, 26 years of age 58 game in 8 years.
Watson first round pick, beautiful long left foot kick, 22 years of age and only 20 games in five years.
Can you pick the difference?

Yeah, 1 has been underperforming when playing 1's.
