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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
