Fagan rewards effort and I don’t think you can honestly pick out any one player to say that there was no effort in that game!
No Changes!

He benched Hipwood in the game to get back control in the game imo. Is a liability forward now imo. Needs a change up or some ressie time. He looks lost and is just feeling for contact which is the last thing he should do
 
Hipwood doesn't go out for me.

Again, the same issues of leading up to the ball and running under it were evident. No doubt he's working on it, but he needs to time his runs better so he is meeting the ball out in front. Who knows why he gets under it as much as he does and it isn't restricted to his opponent bodying him under it, but perhaps it could be even something related to his vision (wasn't Freeman affected by a similar issue?).

I actually thought our forward line looked more cohesive against the Eagles when the resting ruckman (mostly McInerney) was taken out of the forward line and the rucks were changing with one another off the bench, but I wouldn't be dropping Hipwood at all.

Yep, same..Hippy is a work in progress and I don't know of another player at 21 in the AFL that has such a heavy work load... For years we have butchered our delivery into the forward line and have been in the bottom five for inside 50s in all of his seasons...I thought he did what he is suppose to.. ran his opponent ragged and kept cleared him out of the way so our smalls can do their thing...
