SOTARAMAFL SCOUTING VIEW
Angus Tippett scouting report
Angus Tippett is the 2026 draft’s "midfield unit." Standing at a massive 194cm, the Western Jets skipper is the definition of a big-bodied presence. Despite an injury-interrupted preseason in early 2026, he has returned as the primary "enforcer" for the Jets, recently putting up a 23-disposal, 6-clearance performance. Renowned for his ability to absorb extreme physical pressure and dish the ball out to runners like Hicks or El-Souki, Tippett is more than just a stopper; he is a dual-position threat who uses his wingspan to dominate overhead when resting deep in the forward line.
Tippett can give a midfield a point of resistance around the ball, using his size to stay in a contest and help a teammate find a cleaner exit. An overhead presence can also offer a different option when he moves ahead of play. We would look for him to keep balancing those strengths with repeat running and decisions that allow the ball to move before an opponent can close the passage.
AFL player comparison
Patrick Cripps
Tippett mirrors the "bull-midfielder" archetype perfectly. At 194cm, he is the same height as the Carlton captain and possesses that rare ability to keep his arms free while being tackled by two opponents. Like Cripps, he is a clearance specialist who thrives in the phone booth of a stoppage, using his frame to shield the ball and his long reach to feed outside players who provide the burst he occasionally lacks.

How to read this profile
Rankings use only published results collected for the same test and event, with competition ranking for ties. The denominator is the number of known results, not all participants. Preliminary and unofficial figures are shown without ranks or historical comparisons. Reaching-hand, side-specific and counter-movement protocols stay separate.
Scouting bands are the site's existing editorial view; no numerical skill ratings have been inferred from prose. Historical marks use the AFL's records reference. The 2km event began in 2017; no 3km, beep-test or Yo-Yo conversion is used. Harry Sharp's 2020 mark is a historical reference across differing event conditions. Finlay Yeo's WA agility result may surpass the national benchmark without changing that benchmark's event scope.
