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.

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

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.

[Young Dee 1,303]

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.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Been delisted by Brisbane and the Gold Coast so I'm not sure why we'd be interested to be honest.

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.

[Dee-licious 1,859]

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

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

The Tom Gillies of 2014?

[old55 21,383]

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

[InVINCEable 358]

Would rather pick up Templeton or Cavarra.

[spirit of norm smith 13,073]

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.

[Steve13 457]

Must get another KPD just in case touch wood something does happen to Chip, Mac or Col. At this stage we only have Dunny and Pedo as back up.

[Demon trucker 1,776]

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.

[InVINCEable 358]

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

[Dee Fan 3,247]

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.

Wouldn't be any better than Sellar you'd think.

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.

[Demon trucker 1,776]

His better then seller, seller could not take a mark to save himself

[hardtack 10,127]

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.
