Pat Lipinski gathered 30 disposals and kicked a goal in a best on ground performance in his first game for the Pies.
Our off-season recruit finished with 13 contested possessions, seven inside 50s and five clearances.
"Pat has been a great acquisition for us," Craig McRae said in his post-match presser.
"We noticed when he went off the ground against GWS what it did to our team.
"He's an elite runner and he's great around the contest.
"He has become a pretty important cog in our game."
