What to do with Ian Callinan, has been notably quiet over the last couple of weeks. Has lost a bit of touch. Is it worth while giving him a couple of games with Central to get him back into a bit of touch in the leadup to the finals. It's not like we're lacking any options to replace him with Timmy Mc, Lewis Johnson and Chris Knights all come to mind.

Has lost his spark and perhaps is fatigued or has carried a slight niggle.
Not having Tippett around has coincided with his dip in output somewhat.
It's definitely the wrong time of year to be losing form and it depends a lot on how Sanderson rates him.
Wouldn't be surprised to seem him rested this week.

I agree for some reason he definitely seems to play better when Tippett is in the side. They obviously work well together. I think now is the ideal time to give him a run in the SANFL to get a bit of that spark back.

Well tippo is back this week. He has been quiet but Sando loves the duo of petrenko and callinan. And although nutter is in his first full afl season. He is the voice of all the forwards you hear during the match. Telling people what spot to get too, and making sure walker doesn't play on. And goes back and has set shots. He will go straight in to a coaching position at the crows after his AFL career concludes

Tippett not back after all - L Johnston now named at FF.

Nice stats Mirror.

Think that shows how much Callinan plays better when Tippet is in the team, perhaps if Tippet goes Nutta might ask for a trade to the same club too

His roving off the pack and goal on Saturday was fabulous.
