Gun!

Kill for a player like tippa in our side.

At least he's a genuine crumber and pressure forward with x factor. We could do with a bit more of that.

    Tippa is a match winner. We don't have a match winner. 

    We don't have a single player who can make something happen out of nothing. Garlett was the closest but I haven't seen that for over a year. 

    It doesn't matter that he has quiet games still. Part of that is to do with the fact that Essendon have a game plan that falls apart under pressure, (like ours).

    Tippa won them the game tonight. He is a true small forward who provides elite pressure and creates goals and opportunities when there shouldn't be any. We don't have a player like that.

    I wouldn't necessarily go after him but if ever we needed proof of needing an elite small forward then that is it. Jeffy was that a few years back, form and injury has lost whatever magic he had, we have to search high and low in the draft or in the lower comps for an excitement machine that will create forward pressure and get those mercurial goals. 

    Amazing goal to win the game.

    I'd love us to recruit him, just so I can sing that song to myself with betraying the MFC, singing about some Essendon player.

    And he run and he runs and he tackles and he runs

    He's coming to get ya (boom boom boom) he's coming to get ya ( boom boom boom)...

     

    We could definitely do with a player like that.

    Tipu is an amazing  player.  Talented  and clever.  I sometimes  wonder just how many of him there are on the field sometimes. 

    He wont be going anywhere.  The Windy Hill addicts would storm the castle if ever there was an inkling to allow him leave.

     

    Keep dreaming people

    Won’t move on now, and his price would have gone up massively in the past fortnight. 

    A genuine game turner.

    Would hate it at melbourne. Wouldnt get those cheap frees.

    Agree.  He gets a fair run from the whistle blowers

    Not consistent enough for mine at the present, goes missing against the better teams too often. If he can work on this he’ll be a gun. Surely we have the cap space, Essendon would want a first round pick and a player though. Gut feeling and nothing else tells me he is Essendon through and through.

    All this for a player who'd never have been given a go if Essendon's list wasn't blown out of the water. Goes to show it might be worth taking a punt on a couple of random players that don't fit the usual draft profile.

    I'm not sure why we're not one of the 3 clubs as we're screaming for a player like Tippa. 

     

    Stunning isn't it, not to mention the similar story for Brad Hill who also looks on the move and we're apparently not in that race either.

    We're 17th. You can now expect players to not want to play with us.

    St Kilda is 14th and is free falling down the ladder almost every week.... They're in the race. Its got nothing to do with who he chooses, I'm asking why our hand isn't up?

    Perhaps we could trade him for Lewis...

    Our trade team are some of the best around and Essendon aren't that good at it so I hear.

    Of course MFC, not the place for me, seems to be common theme among some!

    I think 99% of the time when they say clubs x,y and z are chasing it's either already common knowledge or they're just guessing. 

    I'd guarantee that there would be 10 clubs keen on tippa minimum if he was actually gettable. which i don't think he is. i think he's leveraging outside interest to get a better deal at the dons. 

    I thought Coniglio was doing the same but he seems to be on the way out

    Still unsigned... Would be throwing a decent offer his way.

    Langdon, Tippa, Pick 3 & another forward be it senior KPF or 3rd tall. Be pretty happy with that.

    It'd be nice to get another Casey player back. I'm not sure why we wasn't drafted at the time.

    Showed speed, class and love for a goal (or 3).

    Why isn't the MFC snagging X-Factor talent like this in the draft?

    All that work and effort (support..ground upgrades etc?) to assist the communities in the center and what do we have to show for it?  When we play the Crows or Port the majority of locals still seem to be going for them over us.

    The signing of Jurrah now a decade old.

    Asleep at the wheel as usual?

    Well, if Essendon do "resign" him, we should definitely make an offer.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
