Hipwood is extremely out of form and I hope the last few years are just a slight speed bump. I’d have Hipwood as our 6th ranked forward. So not a huge call by any means.

Hipwood Kicked 47 goals last season and 35 with OP this year that's not bad for someone who isn't the main target inside 50

 

[Saucery]

Day will be better than Hipwood

At what?

YOU know that Day is 33 next year yeah? He's never taken a season by storm those expecting him to realistically take the heat of Hipwood it's not going to happen

FMD, in an age where life expectancy in Australia at birth is 81.1 years for males, you think that someone at 33 is fo**ing old. Let me guess you're four years of age and anyone over 12 is too old.

Day will be better than Hipwood

In his next life ?

Compare the pair:
------ Club Age Debut Games Goals Finals Premierships
Day Suns 32 2011 155 117. 0. 0.
Eric Lions 27 2016 177 262. 14. 1.

Guess a lot of people also bagged Joe throughout his entire career.

And played with an injury through the last part of the season .
Sick of the Hippy bashing , it’s horrible .

Of all the second tall forwards in the comp basically only Hawkins has outperformed him over the last few years. Will be interesting how he goes as the number one guy, but on total numbers he has done better than most people think

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Would love to sit next to with whoever voted for Berry and McCluggage to be delisted this year as I reckon we have some Lions matches that need to be re-watched again and again

Great, now I'm not going to be able to go the toilet at night.

 

[royboys4eva]

Hipwood was clearly playing injured in last month and half. At his best he is still a very dangerous forward. He has kicked 6 goals in a match on several occasions.

Daniher retiring is obviously not ideal. But it could be the making of Hippy. I have always maintained he plays his best footy at Full Forward. He is quick and leads quite well. I remember the night Joey missed the final against the Dees with the impending birth of his child and Hippy went deep forward and played a ripping game in second half that turned the tide.

I would be inclined to play him deep forward and have Day - Morris - Rayner - Ah Chee and Lohman as the lead up kicks around wing half forward.

 

[pod17]

Agree that Hipwood has been a good contributor in his role as the second tall. I do like him higher up the ground, where he has the option to use his pace to lead up and double back so it will be interesting how he does as the main target next year.

There’s no question elements of his game need improving like goal kicking and decision making (some recent ones which I think have stuck in some people’s minds) but given where he’s at in his career it’s probably just him. Still, of all the players drafted over 200cm few make it as key forwards who can kick 35-40 goals a year. We are fortunate to have him.

Jaxon Prior seems to have missed being picked up by Essendon as mooted as a likely possibility...maybe a "train on" selection yet to come?
