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
