Depends on how you define/quantify, more than a tad. Understatement alert now in operation.
Seriously?
Do you actually know anything about the kid?
So wrong, not even close to the mark.
No farked up past to turn around.
Edit: I just watched the interview again, he said āI was hanging around bad people who were doing drugs and drinking, and all that, and going to Jail.
Coming to Victoria was scary. Because I didnāt speak much Englishā
I should have saidā¦ overcoming tough challenges, not āturning his life aroundā
I was wondering what had happened that needed turning around
Opportunity wasnāt all that tippa needed
He got a ā ā ā ā ton fitter in his years in the VFL -
as you well know.
I think thereās a case he couldāve been picked up 1 year earlier than he was
I think itās absolutely true weāve become a bit too risk averse with indig kids. But Tippa was a long way off being AFL ready when he got VFL listed. If he wasnāt, he would have been snaffled already.
That is mint
Benfti thread = vanilla panic merchant draftees
No benfti thread = IRVING FLIPPING MOSQUITO
100% proven
Make your decision wisely, @benfti!
Yeah, he was going fine, high hopes for his future
then Essendon drafted him
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, if he is related to Tim Mosquito, he was probably the fastest & slipperiest player I ever saw play in the NTFL, but he was skinny as a rake & would have been consistently injured playing AFL against bigger solid blokes.
Longy was skinny as a rakeā¦
Longy was skinny as a rakeā¦
Which one are talking about in the past tense
The one who isnāt very skinny any more.
@benfti Any chance of Adam Tipungwuti coming down to play in our VFL team?
Also, now the draft is out of the way can we get the proper Hype Thread that weāve all been waiting for, please and thankyou
Hopefully, we can technically add him to our list in March if we want to.
Iād strongly endorse this

Could we add him as a Cat B since nobody drafted him?

I doubt it considering we wouldnāt have had much involvement in his footy, although crazier things have happened

I donāt recall him being there, he has also been in Sydney (and Brisbane) previously so he could have ties to their Academies

I could just be remembering wrong. I thought Benfti complained we could have had him for free last year and may have put 2 and 2 together and gotten 5.
At this point Iām just scouring the net trying to find someone that @benfti might have found. Plenty of names from the NT of interest, but I have struggled to find a player of the āfreak show tallā variety, that Ben always has in the list, but who never gets drafted.
In attempt to fill this void, this is the best I have come up with.

Considering the fact that getting a photo like this is one in a million, I decided to give it a separate post of its own. Jeremiah Scrutton with the specky.
I met this kid last night. Really nice guy. Heās training with Geelongās VFL list and looks like he will play a bit with them next season.
Cool. Will be interesting to see if he gets some VFL games. Might come into calculations in a couple of yearsā¦
