    That was a pretty meh article.

    It also said that they might baulk at Tippetts asking price. It's going to take a lot of cash to keep them young recruits happy playing in front of an empty stadium.

    Sheedy has nothing to do with the playing list, contracts on to some extent long term games because he leaves the club at the end of 2013 and therefore why would the next coach Leon Cameron and the list manager SOS, allow him to have a major imput on how the club is setup long term. It would be stupid to the extreme

    One year doesn't make your statement true?

    Joel being on Brisbane and Gold Coast's lists longer than an SANFL list just makes your statement look foolish as per normal

    Did you read the article? The only thing that suggested GWS are genuinely serious about recruiting Tippett was the title.

    How did this thread end up with 318 pages of posts? that's almost 3200 posts on the subject!!!
    Gone for 2 weeks and 200 more pages, damn!

    Don't care if we get him, and I'd rather we don't with his shoddy contract history with Adelaide. We'd be slammed from all parts of the park if we take him on board, not to mention to additional scrutiny, constant questions etc.

    We should have pitched for Travis Cloke. Can't kick straight worth a damn, but offers more value as a forward, and we've got enough back up ruck.

    Why not bring Barry Hall out of retirement while we're at it, same with Micky-O.

    In the article a GWS spokesman said yesterday that were still interested in kurt tippett and are waiting to see what the AFL commission hands down and the terms of his contract and they also said it will come down to affordability.Surley there now know what round bout money he wants due to the article last week and they have not gone away yet from the idea of getting him for that sort of money so if they didnt have that sort of coin to pay him why do they keep goin on about getting him.

    its not part of this thread but it does relate somehow to the debarcle setup by adelaide, you really have to wonder what the hell goes on at that club, has anyone seen their new away strip that also had player input....Now we know the real reason Kurt didn't stay..he didn't want to be caught dead in that jumper

    Oh right so Joel was at the Gold Coast (with mummy and daddy). Then gets delisted and just happens to get picked up by Westies in the SANFL and move to Adelaide where Kurt his brother lives. Kurt then likely to move to Sydney and at the same time Joel now appears likely to move to Sydney as well...

    You genuinely believe this is a big coincidence? Look at the facts mate. Statement was hardly foolish...

    So your argument, such that it is, is that players in their teens and early twenties like to be around family. Well knock me over with a feather.

    And when players consider moves they might take into consideration where their close families also live.

    Also there is that subtle angle perhaps family members help each other as well. Gosh. Do you think Kurt might be helping Joel get a playing gig? His brother? Hmmm........let me ponder on that for a moment.

    Wow. You really might be onto something there.

    I hadn't considered that. Just think of the implications!!!! You have outed the Tippett's as potential trendsetters. Once this goes viral, as I am sure it will, people all around the world just might start making decisions based on family considerations.

    Thanks for the heads up though. It was a really hard set of facts to put together. I never would have considered a family angle as reason to move to a certain place or make other life decisions.

    Who gives a rats arse what you think, tosser. Kurt is gonna fill our biggest hole, that's why we chased him. His brother should we pick him up will fill our next biggest hole. KPD depth. A quality we have none of. Sydney arnt just chasing these players for shits and giggles. Their chasing them to fill a need. There the facts! Deal with it. C**k head.

    At no point was I having a go at Sydney. Just pointing out and trying to discuss a 'coincidence' and I get another childish response like this... Typical...

    But I though Kurt was moving to Sydney in the first place because of the 'family' that was already there...:oops:

    Really?

    Do you have to actively try to be as stupid as you are?

    You were talking about Joel being sought after by Sydney. Now you segue back to Kurt when your stupidity and vacuity is exposed. What is this "coincidence" in scary quotations that is so worrisome to you?

    Are you now suggesting, because to be honest I truly believe you have zero idea about the point you are trying to make, that we sought Joel first and because of that Kurt is now following and this exposes the lie that Kurt had "existing" "family" in Sydney. Is that it? Do you know what you are saying?

    You have no point. None. Zero. And yet you continue on as if you have this fantastic irrefutable debate point that somehow is germane to an overriding narrative that Sydney is in the wrong and the Tippetts are devious.

    Here is another angle son. Brothers like living near each other. Family helps each other out. Hard isn't it?

    I am unlike other posters on this board. I truly hope you keep coming back. I have people at work looking at me because I burst out laughing at your posts today. Keep them coming. You are a complete fool.

    You complained about childish responses then wrote one 4 minutes after your post. Quoting you had nothing to do with either Kurt or Sydney.
