The Hipwood contract is an indication of how few key forwards there are in the AFL right now. It's their market to name their price.
It's also a huge trap to overpaying some like Hipwood. He's kicked between 25-37 goals the list five years and not over 30 the last three years.

These are Ty Vickery adjacent numbers. Second banana at best. You can do better. This is a guy who finished 49th on the goal kicking table.

Darcy Moore Osteomyelitis. Infection in the bone n marrow, hopefully they fix it with the antibiotic treatment. Can get fairly nasty if they don't get on top of it early.

Hipwood is an interesting study
hyped skinny tall forward
he struggled to put on size and has to work up high and wide on the ground to get a kick
his kicking stats are woeful but many are on the boundary well out
he's been easy pickings for us oppo supporters :)
his body is maturing
and I think his kicking is improving
I think in the next 5 years we'll see a better version of Eric Hipwood than previous
but still not one we will fear

and given losing McStay the Lions have been painted into a corner with Hipwood
good news for us

they are a likely top 8 maybe top 4 side again
so one we have to get over in the march to glory in 23/24/25

I’d have Jack go round for another 5 years before signing Dudwood to a long term contract.

Jack has been fantastic for us over the stretch and stood up in many clutch moments

Without trying to rubbish Hipwood , I don't see him rising to Jack's level

We've had McBean , Elton , Pattinson , Griffiths , CCJ & Chol come and go
and no doubt the Lions have churned thru a few we are unaware of

We are now hoping Baeur and/or Sampson will come good

Look at it this way , aren't we lucky we haven't had to offer contracts like that , other than Dusty
for the sake of list structure

The Lions have the tallest small forward in Daniher, who likes to sneak out the back or if the defender loses touch , take a cheap hanger
he doesn't like holding the spot at the top of the square and bringing the ball to ground like Jack and Tom do
but the whole comp knows that but on his day he can hurt you on the score board so the Lions keep him
so that sort of forces them to keep Hipwood for the sake of structure
