Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski

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.

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 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

It's Michael Talia all over again!

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs - Patrick Lipinski

Any info on his kicking/decision making? Otherwise sounding a bit 'Bont-lite'

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

A bit like Monty.

Let's hope he's more like Rohan Smith

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'

Yep, the white belt extended and entrenched itself in Eltham quite some time ago.

In the 90's Eltham was where the long haired undercut populace really came to prominence, they extended via 25-45km radius east from the city centre all the way to the Peninsula.

A little bit of Luke Parker in that highlight vid? Not sure

No go home factor here, Pat's already at home.
He's a favourite already.
