I await the advent of the Anthony Tipungwuti Distance Travelled Without Bouncing The Ball Doesn't Matter When You're Awesome Enough rule with great anticipation.
How so?
Got the ball just outside the 50 arc, kicked the goal from approx 20m. Swerved several times, which adds to the distance he travelled. Must have taken over 25 steps, I can't count them cos his legs are moving too fast.
That was a free kick for running too far every day of the week. Nice that an umpire with a soul was in charge and let it go, though!
Haven't seen a game where he's played up forward. He's small but is a tank with pace. Def a rookie at least - get him training full time with essendon, send him up a couple of weird mountains in the USA and bob's yr uncle...Does this go in the lid off thread?
Played mostly back WD, but and did well, but I think we play him out of position, I see him as a half forward who plays a defensive role that can burn teams on turnover.
What will be the level of cult hero status if we actually pull the trigger this year?
Would be great if we pulled the trigger and he made the grade. I've only seen him a handful times, and to be honest he didn't do much in those games. But I probably haven't seen his best games, and he's obviously got a heap of talent. He looks like he could make a real impact coming on as sub.
