Anyone tell me if I missed something here ? Tippett supposed to be back rd 22 yet injury report as of the 27/7 says 4 weeks. Means Rd 23 return. Has there been any set back mentioned ?

Haven't heard of any set back, i just think its one of those injuries you cant get an accurate read on, think they were aiming for rd 22 with little certainty.Anyone tell me if I missed something here ?

He ain't playing reserves mate....ever.Haven't heard of any set back, i just think its one of those injuries you cant get an accurate read on, think they were aiming for rd 22 with little certainty.
Race against the clock now, i for one wouldn't puck him in a final if he hasnt had a at least a reserves hit out prior.
Well if its a qualifying final at mcg against hawks and he hasnt played a game in about 10 weeks i would rather play soemone else.He ain't playing reserves mate....ever.
I think hes past that now...hes a rolls royce and I don't think we'd be driving that rolls in the neafl.Well if its a qualifying final at mcg against hawks and he hasnt played a game in about 10 weeks i would rather play soemone else.
Also i could be wrong but i thought he played ressies in either 14 or 15 for a couple of quarters before coming back from another injury.

I'd rather play Tippett after layoff than nankervis or sinclair.

Well lets hope it isn't an issue and he gets game time prior to finals.Spot on
Automatic selection when ready to go
Need top 4 first....God I hope we win the first qualifying final... would back us big time against the Giants....50/50 v Hawks if tippett is baclueless and Naismith rucks.Well lets hope it isn't an issue and he gets game time prior to finals.
If that doesn't happen, i am sincerely hopeful i am proved wrong and our rolls royce is bog in a comfortable qualifying finals victory.

Thats the freedom Naismith will enable us to have....tippett stationed up forward..buddy on the wing/high half forward. ..
My concern with Tippett is that historically when he has come back from injury he's been very rusty and taken some time to find form. That said, he is extremely important to our premiership chances and is worth taking a punt on IMOHaven't heard of any set back, i just think its one of those injuries you cant get an accurate read on, think they were aiming for rd 22 with little certainty.

The only good thing to come from Tippets injury is the emergence of Naismith, how good is this guy 3 weeks ago his ruck work was great but now he's adding contested marks to his bag of tricks.Need top 4 first....God I hope we win the first qualifying final... would back us big time against the Giants....50/50 v Hawks if tippett is baclueless and Naismith rucks.

I do recall him kicking a goal within the first minute in his comeback (and debut) with us v Power. Positive signs..!!My concern with Tippett is that historically when he has come back from injury he's been very rusty and taken some time to find form.

Reid doing the same amount of work according to my sources.

Johannisen came straight back as a running back after 8-9 wks out also with a hamstring related injury, so in terms of fitness, you'd think tippo should be OK, particularly if he's playing predominantly forward. Only uncertainty is how he goes in clunking big marks in clutch situations and kicking those pressure goals if no h&a games under belt, but he offers so much in terms of structure, the freeing up of buddy, bringing ball to ground for our speedy forwards etc, so definite in for mine.
