Hahahahaha some people will NEVER admit they are wrong

I’d prefer Jong to Tippa at least he is consistent

The irony.

Oh man if we could bring Hamling home to the kennel that would be perfect.

Any chance that key fwd that wants to come to us is Fogerty?

And chance that key forward that “wants” to come to us even exists?

Red, white, blue has had very good info before. Much more reliable than yours anyway. So its worth talking about at the very least

And when was the last player I said I had info on before Jenkins this year that I said near 6 weeks ago and has pretty much come out as true.

Lol go on tell me the last rumour I put on here? Probably 3 years I’d say, but again the reality isn’t as sexy as the lie that gets likes from the followers so just keep making up those things I’ve said.

No idea who put the first rumour out about the so called forward but It’s strange that someone could just throw that out and the tangents some have taken it on. Also strange that by saying he wants to come when it doesn’t happen he can just say the clubs couldn’t make a deal. Lol imagine the utter utter ripping I’d get if I put that “rumour” out

Even Tippa's worst critics admit he towels up s**t teams and offers fwd pressure (4th in the league).

Based on that, if we had Tippa this year we beat Carlton, GC,, Norf and the Saints, and we are top 4. What price that?

Also some people forget Ess are a s**t team and will play poorly against good teams. Our club has the best and most beastly trio of big bodied prolific mids in the comp. We will always get.our share of ball and guys like Tippa wouldn't starve like he does at a club with no inside beasts like Ess. (Seems to have been in a good paddock though has Tippa).

Having said that I'd take the equally talented , more consistent, younger Martin if costs were similar ahead of Tippa. Martin is looking as a really buy low option. You never buy low with the Dodo.

So if we had Tippa against Carlton, he makes 45 points difference how?

It’s amazing that those the continue to hype Tippa are happy to throw the 4th in forwards tackles around but fail to even comment on why this isn’t turned into goals?

So you are happy to pay 500k a year for him?

McLean was great last night. It’s good to see him finding some consistency in his form of late. Was crumbing goals last night which we haven’t had in a while!

 

[Mofra]

I would. Our forward pressure is below average. We're struggling to reach the cap floor as it is.

 

[Mattdougie]

Really? Fair enough

I wouldn’t be touching him for over 350k.

Regardless what others say his record against good teams is not only average its poor and if that was the only team he played he would be in he VFL.

And even though his pressure is great he doesn’t turn that pressure into the goals he should.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Tippa isn’t one I’d be jumping over the moon about. He tackles a bit and has skill but can’t hit the scoreboard unless Essendon are dominating.

 

[Pannalstaroz]

After watching him so closely and loving it, I’m convinced Naughton is the reincarnation of Nick Riewoldt and Dunkley is the next Josh Kennedy. Thoughts?

Agreed. Naughton better mits though.

 

[Pannalstaroz]

Agreed. Naughton better mits though.

Riewoldt had amazing hands. I never got into him as a player when he played because I never got over half time ‘09 but if Aaron ended up that good, I’d be pretty happy.

 

[josh the gent]

I’d rather Jack Martin to Tippa.

Jmart is “buy low” right now. Well worth a punt.

 

[Braybrook Son]

How good was that pluck from Naughton last night when he came from about 4 deep and had no right to Mark it from behind? Amazing hands like glue.

 

[ScragCity]

This is objectively wrong. Why even post crap like this if you clearly don't watch Bomber's games?

Inarguably correct

Dons fans would say it should have been a ball up lol

 

[Doggies7]

Thoughts on some defenders that are currently out of contract at the end of 2019: Sam Frost - Melbourne
Daniel Mcstay - Brisbane
Alex Keath - Adelaide
Adam Tomlinson - GWS (RFA)
Jake Carlisle - St Kilda

McStay re-signed earlier in the year until the end of 2022.

Also if Carlisle plays in at least one of the next two games, his contract has an automatic trigger for an extension until the end of 2020 so he is effectively contracted also.

 

[Anja_Nees]

This is objectively wrong. Why even post crap like this if you clearly don't watch Bomber's games?

Objectively wrong? He’s kicked two goals in total from their losses.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

If the rumours are true that Geelong and Jeremy Cameron are thinking of working out a deal, surely Jeremy would have to consider the prospect of coming to the Kennel? Our future is as bright as any clubs in the competition.
We can offer more money. And a better trade offer to GWS.

Has been mentioned to his management only to get the come back and discuss after the year has ended.

 

[ScragCity]

You said that he only kicks goals when they are dominating which is objectively wrong. Plenty of his goals have been when they are behind, to put them in the lead and sometimes even to win the match for them in the last 20 seconds

I personally don't give a shit whether or not you rate or don't rate Tippa. What annoys me is people who are not data literate throwing stats around incorrectly trying to attribute meaning to them. That Tippa has kicked fewer goals in his teams losses is to be expected and the fact that he has only kicked two goals in those losses is really not statistically relevant when trying to assess anything about his game.
