Kurt Tippett to the Swans? **UPDATE: Tippett requests trade to Sydney***

[The King!]

they met and want us to get picks or player from another club.

personally, i dont care if we get him or not.

id give them 22 and a player for him but not a player we want to keep.

Source?

Happy to cough up Superman but not Batman, to much upside.

We'd want the Flash and personally, I want Wonder Woman

NO! The Swans get Tippett and thats it! No Flash no Wonder Woman! Crows Get the A Team plus the Avengers, Jesse White and pick 22.

So im guessing at this point in time we are standing firm on the no Premiership players.

No chance of Melbourne giving up Watts I'm afraid.

 

[BUTTON 92]

Yeah and if goodes lrt reid mcglynn mumford pyke walsh etc missed more white would of played

Exactly White was behind even Walsh and clearly plenty more. Thanks for proving my point...

How can you compare the two. Johnston played KPF. Jesse played in the ruck for most of the year. Might as well ask who is the better Meg Ryan or Elle. Has as much relevance.

Just for the record. I would take meg every day

No this year White and Johnstons AFL stats aren't comparable coz they both hardly played. In the reserves where the SANFL is a stronger league Johnston has been better. Just as Tippett has been better then Reid.

they both barely played AFL this year mate. But fine if 3 games over 1 makes you think White is better then good on ya!

your the one being childish mate. Taking any form of debate to Sydneys point of few as rude and childish...
And yes because what a bunch of angry BF posters is what makes Tippett what he's worth...

You've been "debating" for about 30 pages and you've got nowhere. Every year these threads spring up and they always end the same, the team losing the player complains they are not going to be properly compensated, and the team getting the player claims the player in question is overvalued. You've done nothing but play your role in a very predictable "debate", which is nothing more than the "jilted lover" syndrome, as I pointed out earlier. What's funny is you think you're being original or incisive in your observations. You aren't, you're just doing what's predictable, and boring.

if you ever get the chance try not to think of gary rohan while you're taking her.

The thing with Tippett is there is a huge gap between his best and his worst.
In the PF against Hawks, he was close to BOG (not-withstanding he was on Schoenmakers)
You saw how inept he was in the QF against you.

If he plays to his potential, he could be one of the very dominant big men in the comp.
If he plays at his worst, then he really is an over-paid spud.

The anger from Crows fans has several roots
- in his first season with us he didn't play due to a cracked vertebra in his neck
- next few seasons he was very much a novice learning how to play the game
- 2012 could have been a "break-out" year, but for repeated concussions

So we invested a lot of time, training and money in him.
Now he is just about at his prime time to start ripping the comp apart, but has decided to turn his back on the club who lookded after him, taught him, and where his "mates for life" play.

An honest reply, cheers.

Now you have ruined it for me forever

If we didn't have Tippett on our radar do you think we would of been involved in trade week this year?

Bazinga!

 

[Blood Bath]

Are we still interested in Moloney from the Demons?

Find it hard to believe we ever were.
I think it was his manager talking up his prospects and the number of clubs supposedly interested.

Only way I'd imagine we'd be remotely interested in him is if Jude retired and Parker was traded out.

 

[MilhouseVsEvil]

I have grown tired from the Adelaide gibberers posting over here so I really hope this gets resolved quickly. We can begin our flag defense talk and Adelaide fans can get back to the fantasy land where they are a top 4 contender next season. They won't be getting 6 games against the bottom dwellers to pad their win column next year.

With the obvious salary cap room we would have been active. If the Tippett deal falls through we may still get out there.

I'm hoping by the 3rd day tomorrow SOME sort of progress is achieved talk of picks, names thrown around anything really if not i can see this going to the second week.

You stopped adding value about two posts in and you're sinking fast

Have to disagree. Johnston has played pretty well in the sanfl and would prefer him over White (who's been a big disappointment IMO).
