Will never have the engine for AFL. It is just not there. Has the ability and skill and even improved a stack in the defensive side
but he simply can not go for longer than 5 or 6 minutes before he is stuffed.It is like trying to train a 400m runner to run in the 5000.

You don't think he has the discipline to really work on it?

Or he's just a guy with a naturally poor aerobic capacity?

Simply hasn't got the aerobic capacity for the top level IMO which is a shame.

Introducing, goal of the year by Anthony Tipungwuti !



May have had 25 steps but lets not let a lie get in the way of a good story hey :D

But 25 Tippa steps is like 7 meters, Alwyn style.

Tippa is training with the seniors!!!

Could it actually happen?

We'd want to be sure we get a ruck in the ND before drafting him as a rookie. I like the way he goes about it though and I think he'll do alright at the top level.
 
I'd say it's still pretty unlikely he'll get a gig. How many rookie picks will we have in the rookie draft thjs year?

Basically one.

We must be very confident in getting Wright and probably reaching for a Keitel at 20 if we're thinking about Tippa.

I'd be stunned if we drafted Tippa. Still not fit enough for VFL level and hardly impacts on games a part from the odd freakish thing he does here and there like the goal against North Ballarat.

Is there any word on whether he is with us again this year?

Nothing on Paul Amy's twitter account, and nothing to suggest he's leaving

On the updated VFL list for Essendon this year on the clubs website, he is clearly not on it. Hence, why I asked.

There are still 7 places that need to be filled. His brother has come down to play for St. Mary's in the ammo's Division 2 this season and the captain seemed to think Tippa was still here.
 
Yes, stand alone VFL sides have a supplementary list of 21. It's probably just not updated. I'd guess the remaining 7 will be up soon, they're probably signed just not updated.
 
I still don't believe it's a real surname. It's like someone threw some scrabble tiles on the floor and used that.

You're right. His surname is actually McDonald-Tipungwuti
