Joel Tippett



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
