Like previous seasons, he is a player who finished the season strongly.

....
The 188cm Eltham product kicked 11 goals in his first six games of the TAC Cup season but soon drew on his basketball background to turn himself into a prolific tall on-baller.
Lipinski averaged 18 disposals per game in 12 matches for the Knights across 2016, but elevated that figure to 24 disposals per game in his last six appearances of the year.
taccup.com.au talked to Lipinski at the recent NAB AFL Draft Combine, where he recorded the equal-second-best score in the clean hands test and finished in the top 10 in the beep test.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
I like the sound of him. It took Dal 20 seconds to select him. No doubts there.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
Sounds good. Good luck mate.
-
Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
He has very good endurance but he certainly isn't quick and was in the bottom rung at the combine.
A bit of work to do with him but he is a good mark and because he reads the play so well will be a difficult match-up.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
Any info on his kicking/decision making? Otherwise sounding a bit 'Bont-lite'

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
Nickname has to be 'Lips'

I'm not so sure about that comparison. To me, he is more of a forward. His kicking is pretty good but he might be stretched from distance. Bont like with his handballs perhaps

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
This is an extract from TheAge:
Patrick Lipinski (Northern Knights/Eltham/Whitefriars)
Born: 17.7.1998
Height: 188cm
Weight: 79kg
AFL bio: Medium forward-midfielder who shows excellent game sense and ball-winning ability through the midfield or as a forward. From a basketball background excelled this year for the Knights averaging 17 disposals in 12 games in the TAC Cup.
"This was Patty's first year in our program. He was an elite junior basketballer, and spent some time in America before coming back to footy. He went over there and weighed up his options midway through last year, and thankfully for us he chose football. He had a good preseason, he ran a 15-plus beep test and really solid results across the board, and early in the year his forward craft was very good. He played predominantly as a third tall through the early part of the year, kicked a number of goals and took some eye-catching marks. We put him into the midfield in round eight, it was the first opportunity he'd had to play there and he had 15 possessions in the first quarter and looked really natural in there. He ended up getting 32 touches and being best on ground that day, and he got another 30 the next week against the Western Jets in the wet. He broke his hand that week and didn't come back until round 16, unfortunately, but it was a good chance for him to work on his pace and his kicking in that time off. He's still developing, but he's really clean and smart and a good endurance athlete. He sees the game quite well, his overhead marking is good and as a kid he's a genius – he's aiming for 95 for his ENTER score. He's a humble kid, confident but quiet and we describe him as a bit of a cleanskin. He's a higher achiever in everything he does, he even plays the piano."

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
Ex-basketballer, late developer, tall on baller from the Northern Knights...
Sounds somewhat familiar..!

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
Word on BF that he's a Doggies supporter. Pretty good start to winning our hearts there.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
Cheers Choc. I have to say recently you have become an excellent contributor to Woof. You have found some great form :)

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
I've wanted a forward utility as a priority for a little while. Good stuff, and welcome to the Dogs Patrick!

There is a nice picture of him on Twitter at the GF wearing his Bulldogs jumper. Now he can do it as a player. Every boys dream

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
I wonder if there is a chance he could play backline too? In our set up a guy with a reach and marking ability like that could fit in quite well cutting off opposition kicks. Obviously he is a forward/mid but our backline is pretty much set up for guys with those attributes.

It's a decent chance and perhaps Greene fits that criteria as well.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
His kicking action reminds me a little of Liam Picken.
Like this pick, he's got ball winning ability and knows where the goals are. As we saw throughout the finals series, players who can impact the scoreboard are worth their weight in gold.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski
Everything about this kid sounds fantastic- great athlete, goal sense, finds the ball and wins it himself...what's wrong with him?!?

Drafting him doesn't boost our membership, already a Bulldog.

There is only one Marcus Bontempelli. I've been watching football for 50 years and I haven't seen a better prospect

I've always thought that Eltham was full of *!*!*!*!ing hippies (I hate hippies, filthy stinking things) but obviously it's full of footballers.

Absolutely the opposite; they have a near sexual obsession with junior sports out that way.
Congratulations to Patrick, I think he'll help us bring in the teenage girl demographic if nothing else.

Well he's similar to Bont in the same way every player 3-4 years ago who as tallish, tested well in agility but wasn't fast was 'the next Pendlebury'
