Wouldn't mind it. Really hoping we go after a tall defender in the rookie draft. Would prefer a kid we could develop at Casey, but Tippett could be an aim.

Posted

Back in my youth (/sigh) my best for the 100m was 11.1, breaking the 11 sec barrier is bloody tough. To do it with minimal weight training is actually very bloody impressive, with an elite training schedule this kid could be anything

The word is we are interested in him, but with three other clubs circling would we use our rookie #2 pick on him? Seems a tad high....would have thought a good prospect left over from the draft would be in line for our first pick.

Would rather a young prospect.

Don't believe in getting 25 year olds (and has been delisted from 2 clubs).

You know what your getting with Tippet - a fringe player. But with a youngster the sky is the limit.

Pretty impressive testing in October helping his cause.....

We already have Pederson, Byrnes, Jones, Terlich as mature recruits and hopefully none of them will get a game next year; with all due respect to Jones and Terlich. Slipping in another Mature Aged recruit will not do our cause any good, if we are looking to improve; I'm happy with Cross because he's a very good proven footballer who probably has a few years left.

There are ones I would pick before hand but not going to be disappointed if we pick him in case someone goes down


Posted

If we think he's up to it I can't see any reason why we can't rookie Tippett AND an 18yo KPB prospect like Fort or Spencer etc

We've already got a lot of midfield cannon fodder:

N.Jones, Watts, Toumpas, Viney, Trengove, Tyson, McKenzie, Kent, Blease, Cross, Michie, Vince, Nicholson, Riley, Grimes, Evans, Barry, Tapscott, Howe, Bail, M.Jones, Salem, JKH, Hunt.

We'd still have 2 rookie spots for a State League or 18yo mid, who are probably surplus to requirements anyway.

bit harsh on terlich and jones

Would rather pick up Templeton or Cavarra.

He would be a justified rookie selection in my opinion. Insurance for Tom Mcdonald in terms of form and injury. We another KPD to play on big power forwards. Tippett impressed in the 2 games I saw him play this year for Wests.

Posted

Robb f I dont think the f stands for flower, DT is a very good player. , who says a player can't get better after 25 ted richards has been way better player after 25.

Posted

If we were going for someone as insurance for McDonald i would look at Fraser Fort, not Joel Tippett.

No one does, I just don't think DT should be in our best 22 if we are serious about getting better. He just makes too many bad decisions.

His highlights are impressive. If he isn't taken in the PSD I expect us to go with him at pick 2 in the rookie draft.

His playing style I would probably compare to Ben Reid. Tall athletic who intercepts marks and spoils at the right time. A left footer aswell.

Posted

From the vision, I think Tippett looks pretty good. Safe pair of hands in a contest, but also seems to know when to attempt a mark and when to spoil (usually to the advantage of his own team mates)... also liked his second efforts in what was pretty limited vision.

Says zilch about his footballing ability though, doesn't it.

He's been delisted by two clubs.

No.

You're probably right, however if there is one position on the field where you get away with being more athlete than footballer it would have to be full back. Alistair Nicholson was a good example, and he was one of the better full backs during his time, purely because he was strong, quick and could spoil well. Sean Wight another.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
