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.

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
