Ok⌠maybe, Hartley embarrassed himself and looked like a weekend ammos footballer who didnât really give a toss and was just there for the beers afterwards. Hipwood benefited from that complete lack of pressure on a number of occasions.
Harts would be hellbent on making up for that game I reckon. Hipwood likely to leave the field a bit sore imo.
Hipwood is going to embarrass a lot of players in the future, but I thought Hartley did well on him. It can be a tough life being a defender when the defence actually delivers it well, or youâre on one of the biggest talents in the league. Hipwood is tall, has a good jump, and if he clicks and they deliver well I donât think any defender is going to do too well against him. The only ones with a chance might be a Rance who would just go where the ball is going, and outbody the youngster as they both jump.
Hopefully Ambrose will be back soon. No future for this bloke against a big bodied player. Expected him to step up this year after a promising first season but all we have seen is a massive deterioration.
