sadly very sadly he’s done. he’s a shadow of the player he was. not so much fitness wise , he hesitates and gets caught with the ball most of the time when he doesn’t handball off

You can see the lack of respect his opponents pay him. They just roll off and help defend and leave him by himself. Then they run off at every opportunity to blow him up.

He needs to be “managed” out of the side next week.
It’s not all possessions, though.
There is no way Mass had a bigger impact on the game than Tippa.
As I said, Tippa has to be better than that.
It was his worst game in a while.
But it was still better than Mass.
It will depend on what he wants at the end of the year.
I think he’ll bounce back in a couple of weeks.

they are not even a comparable thing to be honest
He’s making a lot of effort to chase, so when he finally gets the ball he looks stuffed.
Thought he’s been building and obviously had a poor one tonight, whether or not he needs a spell in the VFL I’m not sure - who takes his spot?
I am surprise they haven’t used him as sub

Davey Jnr takes his spot for me.

Give it up Wim…you’re comparing a guy who played the whole game against a guy who played just over a quarter.
And D’Ambrosio did more in that quarter and a bit than Tippa in a whole game.
If you can’t see that, I suggest you watch the replay.

As I said, I’d drop him for Davey.
He gives that forward pressure.
There is no way in hell I’d drop him for Mass.

VFL time. I just dont see what BDB sees in him. Slow, unfit, out of touch. Should be played in the VFL for the rest of the year. A good preseason (if he wants to continue) will bring him closer to best 22. Right now he is a liability.

I like ADJ but I didn’t think he’d been offering much except for the occasional goal, but I could be hugely wrong idk
Sitting on the bench for 2.5 quarters will have that effect.

It’s as simple as Shiel/Parish coming back in when fit and we play with one less small forward. Guelfi and Menzie is sufficient with maybe ONE OF Tippa, Snelling, ADJ.
Or maybe it’s one of those last three guys is sub and we just run with Guelfi and Menzie as specialist small forwards.

He looks like the game running is adding up, rest him for 2 weeks for recovery and fitness.
