Hipwood isn't at AFL standard yet. Has great height and athleticism for his height but struggles in contests round the ground. Hopefully he matures and can compete otherwise they're looking at another Jono Freeman.
Get your hand off it mate. He was ok. Just ok.

Try to read posts in the context in which they're posted. Did you read the post I was replying to? The guy who had never heard of Parfitt, despite having presumably just watched a match in which he touched the ball several times and kicked a goal?
No comment on Parfitt's game was made. Pull your head in.
Seeing him live today, he certainly is alarmingly skinny! Brown killed him in the 1-on-1's.
Dougie took that hit well. SPP is a wide torsoed unit.

Probably just the hip bone that sticks out. I thought he nailed Dougie and Dougie shakes it off and there is SPP standing there hurt.
Think douglas' shoulder goes into his solar plexus.

It was lucky any of our Forwards were even able to Score the way our midfield was kicking into our forward line against Stkilda he has played well on May and Hurley in he's first 3 weeks and Brown is a pretty decent defender I wouldn't be throwing the baby out with the bath water because of one game KPP take time he'll have few of these game early in he's career

Yeah just game 13. Young developing KPP's will have some bad games. When he fills out a bit more and gains more experience he will be a gun
Oliver had 26 touches (16!! contested) 4 centre clearances (10 clearances all up) and 8 tackles today which, for a 19yo rookie coming up against a big-bodied midfield unit like Freos', is reasonably impressive.
I'm officially on board the Oliver hype train now Striker475

How is Oliver a beanpole? He's the same size of other blokes his height who have been playing for over 100 games.
Ok beanpole was a little hyperbolic but he still has a bit of filling out to do as you'd expect from a 19yo.

Mfw people only watch their own games.
Okay bud. Not interested in having a petty shitfight- just wanted to express my thoughts on Oliver. Believe it or not but Melbourne aren't exactly well-represented on FTA here.

Fremantle aren't well represented on FTA here either, doesn't mean I don't watch your games every week.
I think you've found one in Logue. You can tell he has it.
Yes, I'm well aware, and I don't get upset when people are ignorant about our players because of it. Especially when we're talking about players with ~20 games under their belt

McGrath showing why he was rated so highly. Immense under pressure, super slick with his hands and already looking like he could slip straight into the midfield without missing a beat.
Wayne Milera is a stud
