[Lore]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2023
My Boy Draft 2023: Pick 5, citizen-erased

 

[Don Won]

Now he can start tugging the jumper again.

[Highly Evolved]

My only disappointment is that the announcement didn't include this.

Very glad he has re-signed with us.

 

[Eleven 38]

Thank god, i was worried he was gonna kick 5 goals and have 14 score involvments next thursday and ask for an extra 50k a year...

 

[Shane Heard]

Together forever..

 

[Nifft]

Great news, absolutely fantastic player. This has made my week, now we need to win next week to keep the good news going.

 

[ant555]

Never in doubt

 

[Towno78]

i hate them too - but i'm happy to admit they were a gun team.

though Cyril was absolutely overrated. Won a norm smith with 18 touches and 2 goals rofl.....wasn't even in the top 5 players on the ground.

but i digress....

He had 11 score involvements. A hand in 4 of their 5 goals in the first quarter, 6 of their 9 goals by half time when the game was already won.
Saying he wasn't in the top 5 on the ground says plenty about you and not much else.

Now for Walla to continue the tradition and become the 4th Tiwi NS medallist.

 

[blitzer]

Its wonderful he will continue to be a bomber. He's such a critical player for us and I think he's only getting better and more influential.

Lets hope he lights up the final series.

 

[ghostdog]

Walla actually makes Aussie Rules better.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

We’ve had some great players over last few decades, a lot better players than Tippa, but not many generate the same buzz when they’re near the ball as Tippa.

 

[naraku]

I like the length of the deal and hope he torches WCE. I also hope his cousin makes it onto our list soon.

[Zach Package]

I’ve never cringed so hard in my life

 

[Shane Heard]

Take your mum, take ya dad take ya nan to the footy ..lol love it

And he runs and he runs and he runs..

 

[Old Campaigner]

I’ve never cringed so hard in my life

I cringed so hard I did a hammy

 

[JayJ20]

Walla will win us a flag on his own one day. We really wouldn’t have made finals without him.

 

[ghostdog]

I’ve never cringed so hard in my life

I think Walla was quietly cringing too. It looked awkward.

You need to get out more

unsure why you have to make it personal.

he was not top 5 in terms of ranking points hence me saying he was not top 5 is not unfounded. now FO

 

[Xavier Menzies]

It's gone from 3 clubs interested in his service to 9 in two games of footy. He has a good deal put in front of him, and he was close.
I reckon maybe just maybe he will deliver relief pre finals

Never in doubt.

 

[TheBrightSide]

Won the AFL “Fan Favourite” award this year. A lot of love for Tippa.

It's the goal he kicked against Melbourne when he sold candy two or three times in the pocket before slotting it

 

[JT_the_Man]

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks the goal(s) against North were better?

Granted, the one in the dying seconds was more due to the moment, but his candy in the third quarter of that game was pretty awesome.
