Player Watch Patrick Lipinski

[chop_me]

lol these comments, all comments by people that eat junk food everyday, can't run 30 meters without blowing up and probably more than half of you obese.

No one is clean in a PF, Lipinski is an insane two way runner, players that chase the ball between the arcs all game and run 4km every quarter can and often do get lost, WHE cops hate for months and years and all of a sudden people shut up about him, he hasn't been doing anything different, trying harder or has all of a sudden become a better player, that's the nature of the game for role players.

Lipinksi laid some crucial tackles and did his job.

I think me eating junk food has nothing to do with how well he played. People stopped hating on WHE because he is playing well. I’m sure the Lipinski hate will stop once he starts playing well again (which has not been the case in the last few games, and there is little to suggest this will change next week - though I hope I’m wrong).

The fact is that during the PF, he looked slow (relative to other players on the ground), disposal was iffy, and lacked cleanness with ball handling to offset his lack of pace.

Will support him for sure if picked for the GF, but we really need him to lift. If we get at the GF exactly what he served up in the PF, then yes, I would prefer a different role player to play.

If only he could football as well! Unfortunately that's a bridge too far for him.

 

[big german D]

Well, i really dont See any uprights in him.
He is slow, but holds on the ball far to long, cant Stick a takle, kicking is off, handballs not clean...
But with mcstay and Adams probably out, again not going to be dropped.

 

[Kappa]

Hopefully the myth that Lipinski is a good kick is dead now. Blokes been very ordinary by foot all year.

 

[lethalburns]

Noble can play on a wing can't he? You'd think a direct swap will be considered if the matchups are there.

Lipinski is either worried about his shoulder popping out or he just doesn't like contact. He avoids contact and misses tackles far too frequently.

 

[frizzle]

Had a pretty poor first half, but some of the carry on & abuse in the game day thread was way over the top. The guy is one of our own & should be treated as such, regardless of if he is best 22 or not selected.

 

[WakeUpPies]

I’ll happily never eat junk food ever in my life again if it helps Lipinski become faster, stronger, more courageous and composed under pressure.

Lol @ people saying he shouldn’t be criticised. Nearly cost us the season these last 2 games, needs to be dropped. He’s a footballer playing football for a living for our entertainment, and doing a poor job at that. Bring in Noble, at least he won’t duck a contest.

There is difference between critiquing somebodies game & form & full on abuse. One is acceptable, the other not so much.

Hi Pat

 

[IQ3]

Lippa was so so bad last night. Slow in everything he does..... I have no idea how he gets a gig

 

[Bianconeri]

The only way he redeemed himself in the second half was by not being anywhere near the ball, which is a net positive for us.

He had 9 possessions in the third quarter so he was certainly near the ball

 

[Black_White]

Will have to play in the GF just in case we lose and need a whipping boy.

 

[kalex6251]

was never the hardest player ..... and there were some passages of play last night where expletives were liberally thrown around the room with violent abandon (you have to wonder how serious that pre-season shoulder really was - every chance he is playing to protect it)

but he made some crucial tackles in the 2nd half which were critical in follow-up play - credit where credit is due

[edit] just remembered that horror turnover kicking out from the backline deep in the 3rd? ......... ^(&$()$$&@(^)^&(^(&^&^#(*^

 

[Quicky]

Awful first half. Important in the 3rd. On the bench most of the last. I prefer Ginnivan as a forward.

 

[Kes1984]

At the ground I thought he was awful. Fumbly, reactionary, slow. Shocked to hear that people felt he redeemed himself in the second half?

Same. I screamed sub him off at least 5 times up to the third quarter

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I admit I would have taken him off before a ruckman at that point, and then McStay took the decision out of our hands.

 

[Apples]

He was massive in the third.

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

I like to think of Fly has the golden boy who can do no wrong in the coaches box, loves the man to bits. But if he selects Lipinski to play in a Grand Final after seeing him repeatedly not go hard at the contest in 2 consecutive finals it is going to make my relationship with Fly very complicated

 

[Fat Jesus]

I've never been a big fan, and wasn't enthused about him getting to us. I thought Hoskin Elliot would forever by my whipping boy, but it's this guy this season and has been all season.

I want him traded out to be honest. I think his best, isn't good enough and I would rather some more bulls not less. He just seems so timid. He has great foot speed but I just don't see what he offers half the time.

He is hogging a spot, and i hope it's not merely based on contractual reasons. Surely not though.

What??? WHE is a big part of the reason we are a part of the big dance.
I've always been a fan of his talent.
Run WHE run!

 

[Markfs]

we should provide a united front and all hate patrick....

I hate him bigtime. Let's unite.
Pretty boy annoys me.

We are part of the army and we need to stick together over the next week...

I think we should say nice things about WHE but we should cast Patrick adrift....so if anyone asks any questions, we should just deny knowing him.

 

[cfc19902010]

Same. I screamed sub him off at least 5 times up to the third quarter

I literally lost it at the game to get him off

 

[60 Yards Out]

Even leaving aside last night’s game, if it’s a straight comparison Lipinski vs Noble, I don’t know how Pat gets a look in. Noble in, Lipinski out would bring in extra intensity without losing flexibility — eg JFN at half-back would enable Howe to swing forward if needed in McStay’s absence; and I don’t see how Noble would be any worse in Lippa’s role. A no brainer for me.

 

[Go Woods]

A real weak link in this side, if Adams by some miracle recovers and is 100% right to go then it's a no brainer otherwise as suggested already, drop him for Noble.
