kurt tippet

[skdownunder]

how much will he play this year?
i dont know much about him but his preseason scores look good and am considering putting him in as 2nd ruck instead of leuenberger.
leuenberger is guaranteed to play lots of footy though, how much will tippet play or is a the same and a definite lock in for adelaide?
please help me

Tippet has huge potential i have a feeling this could be the year he steps up another level. Plays forward so scores goals and isn't afraid to get his own ball. He is my risk as a second ruck so hopefully it pays off.

thanks a lot youve given me confidence in the kid. with that in mind should i take it he is likely to play most games this season? if so im in.

Tippett is a "lock" for Adelaide. He will play 22 unless injured. If he plays any sort of time in ruck his score (as history has proved) will be very good (70-80 or more). If he plays as a set forward more than not, he will get 30-40's. Its just the nature of big men in the two different positions.

Im sorry guys i have to say i disagree. I think luenberger is a much better option. He is their first ruck for the first 5-10 games and i think that tippet is fighting with about 6 guys for about 2-3 tall forward positions. He will get dropped for sure at some point. Burgs hpwever will play all year. Easy as that for me. You may have opposing opinions. And go sturt mcwarne!

Sorry Nicky but I disagree with your disagreeing. I had Leuenberger last year and well and truly landed in spudland. He spudded so badly that he became mr potatohead. And he did get dropped. As far as Tippett goes you are going to have to trust my closer knowledge. He is rated very highly and I will wager my left one he wont ever get dropped.
