Aboriginal & TSI Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti - Potential?

[GreyCrow]

My impression of him, although it wasn't really reflected last night because he kicked a few as well as the other brilliant stuff, is that he usually probably lacks that little bit of finishing polish to be up with some of the true elite players.

But he's never found wanting for effort, workrate or his ability to harass and then end up running away with the pill. If he increased his finishing skills by even 5%, look out.

And this is all anyone wants from each and every player

a player who is one of the last picked in his team and needs to do absolutely everything right to keep his stuttering career going

Hilarious. His career isn't stuttering. It's flying after being given a chance in last year's exceptional circumstances. There's no way someone like him who can run anyone down, break through opponents and sprint half the field, and kick as many goals as he does, is among last picked in his team. Your comment would be more valid about a year ago.

Kicked a 60m set shot goal v. West Coast a few weeks ago too.

 

[RudyBlue]

Still think the Bombers are missing the boat not selling Tippa wigs.

It'd be hilarious going to the footy seeing pasty 40 year old white guys wearing dreadlock wigs.

It'd be called cultural appropriation and the club would have to apologize.

Tippa would then have to do the media rounds telling everyone how it made him feel.

He is talking about Green.

The next Winston Abraham

 

[deltablues]

Shows promise but I wonder if this panegyric would occur if the guy's name was Fred Smith from Fish Creek, with similar stats.

Probably not.

PS Predictable incoming is predictable...

 

[Boomerfan99]

come to north Anthony!

 

[HTT]

No, he has become the player he is so far exactly because he takes the game on at every given opportunity, dial that back & he's just another stock standard player

I don't think it's a bad thing he takes the game on, but the way some people go on about him you'd think he was always perfect and never made a mistake.

Oh...****, embarrassing for me. Sorry Sedat! my bad, mate. Green is still playing rather damagingly though.

 

[PP34]

I think he's close to his ceiling, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Could be a very handy player for a long time.

Probably the first Essendon player I haven't minded seeing doing well in quite a while too. Has a fascinating story.

The next Alwyn Davey

More likely.

More likely.

Played over 100 games. Wont mind his career

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Don't mind this Tipping woody guy, he's alright.

 

[the PILL]

You aint seen nothing yet fella's

That was his first attempt at a hanger last night and if you have followed him from his AFL Inception you'd know he pretty much has improved game to game except for the Tigers's

Some people are going to look silly in this thread...

 

[emblurr]

Best pineapple shaped player i've seen

 

[Chuckie357]

true, but he was hemmed into the boundary. really should be no way out of that.

You've only got to carry a mirror in your pocket to get around hartlet

 

[Donakebab]

Don't understand people saying he's not far off his ceiling. He's still got a lot of work to do on his fitness, as he builds on his tank he will be able to rotate through the midfield more. We've already seen he's a weapon through the middle, when he can start putting some serious minutes in he'll take his game to a whole new level.

I wouldn't call 10 disposals, 3 tackles and a goal a game from a relatively experienced player (24/25 years old, 7th season, 91 games) especially damaging, TBH.

 

[Ambrosia]

He's not elite either side.

Never will be. Won't be seeing him winning a Brownlow, multiple all australian, club leading goal kicker either.

Step off the delusion train buddy.

If Walla isn't an elite kick then who is?

 

[Percel]

Turn the telly off if he comes on, has he even kicked 25 goals a season?

It's his second season with his first being spent for the majority playing off HBF.

He has 19.13 thus far this year.

I'll start with I love watching Tippa play, so please don't consider me a hater.

He is not a nineteen/twenty year old rookie, he is twenty four. Older than Tom Mitchell.

He has already done heaps of work on his fitness/skills.

If he has a lot of improvement left, he will be one of the best of all time.

This guy is a genuine live wire. He's outrageously fun to watch zoom around the park. His intensity and mercurial skill is something special.

How good can he be? Not being a Bomber's fan I'm not sure what this guy struggles with and any limitations. All I see is a guy who makes me want to watch Essendon as a neutral.

The ONLY good thing about having a son who barracks for the Bombers is watching Tipper highlights at request. Fun player to watch
