Every AFL club's best top-up player option

With the immediate success of many mature-agers, we've looked at the top-up player who could make a difference at your club in season 2022.

This one surprised me. Thoughts? I've always seen him as a high half forward who does some nice things but is not prolific. Have only watched bits and pieces of a few Sandy games though.

St Kilda​

A midfielder who thrives on winning first possession at stoppages and distributing by hand, Darby Hipwell is the standout for St Kilda. In 2021 for Sandringham's NAB League side, Hipwell was the stoppage star on a team consisting of Finn Callaghan, Josh Sinn, Campbell Chesser, Mitch Owens, Blake Howes and Marcus Windhager. While Hipwell is being asked to sacrifice his game this year by playing forward for Sandringham's VFL side, if his midfield minutes grew, his influence would be competitive with the St Kilda AFL listed players he plays alongside.

I'd have a look at Jye Menzie. Looks a bit like Butler mixed with Rachele.

Hall Kahan looks the goods too especially with us trying to grab him as an NGA.

Ethan Grace another small forward. Seems an option.

I feel like we need more depth there. Ready to go ones not like Peris and Kyle

 

[Munga]

he was eligible under rules, but the AFL denied the application.

WTF does this mean? He's our NGA, how and why would the AFL block it?

 

[L_W_P]

Is this supposed to be a criticism? Pretty out of date in my opinion.

Nah not at all!

I just always love how wrong we always are because we guess everything except "193cm SANFL player then 'pass'" haha

They need to actually be part of your NGA system.

Many are eligible but they need to be nominated and then spend time with the club learning the game, which is the whole point of an academy.

Don’t think we will pick anyone. Salary cap very tight and really just an ordinary list this year based on the experts in this field.

Cap not an issue. I tend to agree though.

I'd say we found out that he was zoned to us and had the background to allow him to have joined the academy but never actually trained and by that stage it was too late. I think Jamara Ugle-Hagen was similar, I don't know that he actually did much of his development with the Dogs academy but they listed him early enough.

Let’s face it neither of us know about the cap. Depends who you want to believe

Reckon a bigger KPF would be worth a look.
Out of all the depth spots we need I reckon it is something we have the least of.

Based off Sandy team and players playing in other positions
Small def: Geary, Connolly
Medium Def: Lienert, Joyce, Highmore
KPD: Adams, Joyce

Inside Mids: Bytel, Owens, Byrnes, Clark
Outside Mids: Connolly, Peris, Byrnes, Clark

Small Fwds: Butler, Kent, Kyle,
Medium Fwds: Allison, also have Sharman & Wood playing atm.
Tall fwds: Heath?

Rucks: Campbell & Heath

Jack Hayes longer term. I still think that McBean could be worth a go if we want instant impact. I wonder how Hudson Garoni is going at Werribee, he looked a KPF to watch in his draft year. Was a bit of a Jack Hayes type.

McBean is almost 28 and I don't see him being best 22 so I think we'd be better looking for a young player.

There'd be a few out there in sure we've been keen on and keeping an eye on.

I thought as an interim between Heath and the current rucks he'd make an okay forward ruck for a couple of years. He's from SA so he's already half way here.

Didn’t nominate

Interesting that Hall-Kahan could have fallen under our Academy but the application was denied. Small pressure forward is a bit of a weakness on our list so I wouldn't mind it.

188cm is small?!

He went 5 years playing just 3 games of footy

Sounds like a decent athletic prospect that could play various roles

Apparently Swans keen and have a pick before us.

We already gave them Paddy. They can piss off.

 

[gringo2011]

There are heaps of good players nominating themselves. They can have Nicholas Winmar instead.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Menzie would be good.

 

[Armoooo]

Don't mind the look of Derksen.

Think we could use some more competition for the second KPF position and Sharman is more your Gunstan type IMO.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

He was projected as a possible rookie last year. I guess the question is , after 6 months , is he more draftable?

Jye Menzie
