    Biggest game of the year - and arguably biggest game in the H&A for a few years - set to be played in front of absolutely nobody.
    I think they have done the right thing.
    They must start with the view of getting as many games played when they can be played. A weeks deferral might end up being 3 weeks of missed games. Play all games when they can be played needs to be the aim.

    As much as I would have loved to have gone to this game, I think they've got it right.

      Axe, Thanks, I just responded along the same lines before I ready your response.

        Yep it's a fair point you make. We are in a pandemic it's been nice to have some exclusion from the worst of it for a while but anything can happen.

          He's already played 50?

          Gone pretty quick considering he's been in and out of the side. His best footy is in front of him.

            Footywire have got errors in the player games totals. I found out when JJ was playing his 150th, but they only had him at 148.

            Lippa has played 53 games including 8 this year.

              Lipinski played his 50th v Gold Coast when he was a late in for Vandermeer, so it sort of went by unnoticed.

                I have faith in Lipinksi, that his going to make it. He knows what the standards are, and he has so many good players around him to aspire towards.

                He's got all the tools probably except explosive pace. Just his defensive side of game he needs to tighten and stop ball watching.

                I want to see a personal BOG performance from him tonight.

                He might just be one of those players who need to get to 50 games, and he will get better.
                These are rather important tools though.

                I like Pat, he has some nice traits, but concerned he doesn't have the ''hard'' edge which will take his game to the next level... with Dunks & Treloar out for the next 6-8 weeks it's time for him to put his stake in the ground... over to you Pat!

                  Lipinski needs to be our next Gia - he wasn't quick either but was highly skilled
                  If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
