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

Goal of the year?

Good of them to cut the replay short.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Excellent game and to stand up with Fantasia out was even better.

 

[Donakebab]

In no way can he be compared to Cyril in terms of the impact he has had on the game but his stats are tracking very well and still has room to improve.

Similar sort of player in that they both can have an influence in different parts of the ground and both enjoy the defensive part of the game as much as kicking a goal.

Based on raw numbers Walla is actually more of an attacking threat and he has played a lot of games at half back.

The biggest difference between the two is at the same age Rioli was in his 6th season with over 100 games under his belt, Walla is in his 2nd and has only just notched up 40 games.

Yep, Walla still has improvement in him.

Ultimate impact player.

Something that's probably been lost in the disastrous last three quarters is that he's probably kicked goal of the year as well.

Gotta leave enough time for Eddies campaigning ya know

 

[TheBrightSide]

And here's where I yelled at the tele and scared the dogs.

 

[JayJ20]

We have a match winner!

Even when everyone else was down, Heppell and Walla kept us in the game

 

[Liberator]

Goal of the year. The persistence and creativity of the dude to keep the ball alive and moving toward goal, not to mention the initial gather, and then the hutzpah to pull out the nutmeg in the goal square...

Just absolutely love this player, Tippa has an outsize heart bigger than Phar Lap all 3 goals were spectacular first 2 willed across the line , imposes himself on the contest with ferocious tackling, wizardry, gut running , speed and footy smarts supreme in his ability to ALWAYS make the correct decision and hit a target ...BJ Goddard please take note, a number of your costly turnovers yesterday almost cost us another win!

 

[darrenbewick#8]

Surely has to be Goal of the year, sensational stuff from Tippa the champ.. and Red + Black cult hero!

Goddard use to be one of the best kicks in the league and now I have to close my eyes when he pulls the trigger.

Joey for MotY and Coleman, AMT for GotY - a bomber can hope.

And Merrett for Brown......s**t.

So happy to see him play more in the midfield, I was crying for it last week. He brings so much energy to team.

Must be a chance to make the AA squad of 40 - His stats and influence are top drawer for a small forward.

Would need to score over 40 goals I reckon.
