Walla 7th in the bnf

And, just while this guy’s name is bumped up on the 1st page, what a fantastic 2017 this guy has had. Checked out his 2017 highlights - he is just a freaking gem stone. His year-on-year development, the way he has improved areas of his game that were weaker ... who knows where he is heading. More midfield time perchance? I said at the end of 2016 that I would have been happy with more of the same in 2017 - and that is the case this year again. Would love to see him with the Cup.
Equal favourite player of all time I think.

His first goal against the Blues amazing.

That nutmeg in the goal square...

He won us the game other wise we would have lost espically with Raz doing a hammy.

"Essendon's explosive little man Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti laid the most rundown tackles in a season (since first recorded in 2007)."

 

[Zach Package]

Broke Alwyn Davey’s record too

Broke Alwyn Davey’s record too

Alwyn pre knee injury was so good to watch.

Assuming this is something to do with Sol Republic (the headphones sponsor). Really only posting it though because I can't get a copy of the gif and if anyone can help me get a version I can download I'd be very grateful

that kick from Parish to Tippa in the Eagles game. As elite a kick as you can get.

 

[bjisgod9]

Elite according to champion data....although not sure how much I rate those rankings considering Joe Daniher is not considered elite (although based on 2yrs so I guess Joe will be there after this year)

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Massive in the last when it was all on the line.

Massive in the last when it was all on the line.

That time he got the ball in the midfield with only a few minutes to go and so much pressure, both with the scoreline and frenetic play around him and he just lowered the eyes and hit the only target going forward with a great kick was awesome.

that composure was brilliant

 

[eth-dog]

Was quiet for 3 quarters but was super in the last

 

[Doss]

That handball to Green for the opening goal of the last was primo.

 

[blitzer]

Its a great feeling when Tippa has the ball. You know something good is coming.

 

[Liberator]

Works his way into games through hard graft and intensity. He is an igniter for this team - might chalk up the votes, but is deadly vital nonetheless

 

[Bombermania]

I thought that was one of his better games.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Was good tonight

 

[quotemokc]

Needs to lose a keg or two.

Looks slow and playing the same way he did in the JLT.

If Fantasia is coming back in I don't think Begley or Green deserve to be dropped to make room.

Not particularly worried about his form - Small forward is a challenging role and you will always have games when you have limited impact.
