Past #36: Joel Tippett - pick #8 '13 RD - delisted end '16 season - 7 games for NM - thanks Tippo

Tex giveth and Tex taketh away. What ever happened to Tippet last season? Was he injured or just not up to AFL standard again?

... Or was he actually playing and I just never noticed him.

Played 3 games, rounds 1,2 and 23, only time Tarrant didn't play. So basically a backup only.

Wow.

Like finding where your sick grandmother is and going BURN!

I'm not trolling North. I've been in this thread wondering what will become of Tippet for a while.

This is very bad news. Grima has gone. Thomson is touch and go. Nielson is injured. Now, Tippett is injured. Durden might be required sooner rather than later!

Nielson couldn't be too far off?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Fair way home seniors I would have thought considering he hasn't played for 12 months

 

[jess_1804]

Nielson couldn't be too far off?

From memory I think he said he was about a month away from playing VFL. Still in full training trying to build some fitness.

 

[SMaturin]

Cross all fingers and testicles and touch all manner of wood that Tarrant stays fit.

Dont worry, we have Loogie.

















I will see myself out.

Take Loogie with you

I actually think Loogie fit and in form is easily in our best 22. 2 years ago he had a 10-15 game patch at AA standard. Led the league in intercept marks I think.

Big tippo back on the track running

 

[The Nostradamus]

Its time to unleash big Tippo

Tippett on Cloke
Tarrant on White
Whoever doesn't get dropped of Thompson/Firrito on Darcy Moore

There's talk of Moore being dropped over at the magpies forum

 

[kangatragic]

I think his papers may be stamped

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Would be an upgrade on Thompson considering how shit he has played over the last 6 weeks

 

[Roozee]

100% Delist.

 

[tazaa]

I will give up on the team if we play Tippet.
Rather see Thompson niggle and scrag and get belted, then Tippet lead to the ball and offer nothing defensively like Walker did to him. God.

 

[Elite Master]

Tippett is a vanilla defender, but a couple of the older guys we have playing in our back 6 at the moment are no better, so we may as well give Tippett a run just to change things up a bit.

 

[Greater Gattsby]

Don't think he's going to be offered another contract.

 

[Benj7]

Don't think he's going to be offered another contract.

I'd rookie list him is capable of playing if injuries happen godforbid

 

[TwentyNine]

Don't think he's going to be offered another contract.

I suspect you're right. We actually have very few "delist" types this year, in fact, he is more or less the only one.

 

[kangaspurs]

I was actually thinking about this the other day and I agree. I suspect our list changes will come from trading players out (Black and maybe Hansen) and retirements, of which there is a few candidates.

Doe we also have to elevate or delist Preuss and Fordham this year?

Yeah, it's tricky. I don't really feel like any of our potential retirees are playing below the level required, they all still feel best 22 to me, so I don't really want to lose any of them - but that's footy, I guess, I just hope we don't force any of them out solely to make the list numbers work.

Preuss and Fordham I believe can stay on the rookie list one more year, so no.

We do have an open spot on the list this year, I think, which we were using to make Daw our nominated rookie. Back when McKenzie was still a VFLer, I figured it'd be delist him and Tippett and then we'd have three spaces.

Not so sure now. I don't think he's been great but he's not in the delist bin.

Trading out Black or Hansen would give us some room but really, I'm not sure who is going to call and ask for them. Maybe Brisbane, so desperate for mature bodies/kpps? That's all I can really think of.

I agree with all of that. I thought BMac was definitely a trade/delist candidate at the start of the season but the last few weeks it actually seems like he's building nicely. There are certainly going to be some tough list management discussions at the end of the season. My guess is:

Out: 1, maybe 2, of Firrito, Dal, Petrie, Waite retired, Hansen (trade), Black (trade), Tippett, Nahas (rookie), Ray (rookie). Depends on players we trade in also I suppose.

That would give us 4, maybe 5, open senior list spots - although I'm not sure what's happening with Daw - in what is supposed to be a very good draft.
