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?

    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

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
