If not on the wing, could Hippy play key defender for a while? Gives him an opportunity to use his field kick.

Could have a Richo-like impact in the backend of his career as a genuine winger. Would be elite particularly if Allen gets his body right, Gallop continues his development and Logan does what he usually does.
Ty Gallop has a couple of fantastic traits, he plays better with better players around him and the higher the standard of competition the better he plays.

When was the last time we had a key tall with his contested marking ability?

Joshua Schache?

Hipwood can try, but Andrews will lose his mind trying to cope with all the mistakes
The one game where he played as defender, I remember Andrews was so stressed out at least visibly on tv lol.
On a serious note - Payne's return next year would be a bit delayed so Hipwood has a chance to press his case there.

Are either back before the bye?

Hipwood was a partial ACL tear repair, Payne was patellar tendon which might be longer.
Not sure who will come back first, I was hoping Hipwood - not sure.
There was some discussion on here that Hipwood’s surgery would basically consist of a full reconstruction. I’ve no idea, and we’re not likely to hear anything from the club until after Christmas.
Gallop has more natural aggression than schache

Smith isn’t very good as a key forward. Too slow. Even in the game where he kicked 3, he only had 5 disposals. The next week, Sydney used his opponent to spark lots of movement.
Hipwood won’t be back at the start of the year. With the bench going to 5 and the sub removed you could play all four of Gallop, Morris, Hipwood and Allen.
Gallop puts on defensive pressure as good as most small forwards as well, I also think Ty is a very good kick, it has been on display in the reserves, hasn't quite got the confidence to go for it in seniors yet.
Ty-Logan duo for a decade + is going to be exciting viewing, they will be in their prime and still kicking goals when we are based at Harris Andrews Stadium in 2033.
You were right, LOL! Did not notice that at all, I am overdue for an eye test, may be time to make that appointment.

We went too soon on Drapes. We could have had Goldy.

I was interesting, Payne was out on the ground before the suns match walking around with the players and helping with the warm up, nothing great but no bracing on his leg, and was moving normally without running. Hippy was at the MCG, was shown a couple of times in the background, again no crutches, seemed to be walking normally although it was only flashing moments. I'd think with both, you're probably right, why rush them, after the bye round seems a really safe target.

If someone came for Smith I'd dump him in a second. He's been on the list for 5 years, played 5 games. If you haven't emerged after 5 years. Performance after half-time vs Collingwood & match against Swans were putrid.
Sometimes have to face the harsh reality that some players just will never make it and Smith is one of them.
I actually like James Hird's views on footy, on and off field issues, not surprising I suppose he was an absolute star of the game at his best.

This final series has shifted my opinion on Starce. Really don’t want to lose him even if that means missing out on Ridley. Hes just so dependable and offers excellent flexibility.
While Ah Chee was excellent the last 2 weeks I think his spot goes to one of the kids who will quickly overtake him; Annable or Marshall
