Play Nice Tippett Nominates Sydney - Part II

[Gongswan]

and theyll all be a year older and more injury prone. goods was fragile this year and reid isnt up to being your number 1 forward target. good luck with that.

Yes, Goodes had an injury and missed the most game sin a season he ever has, also lpayed on with a PCL, just like 2003. With Rohan and McGlynn to come back into the side that played the GF, I'm not terribly concerned

 

[Gongswan]

He'd probably defend Collingwood's right to play 10 games in a row at the G every year too, wouldn't he?

Might even defend the right of Hawthorn to play the GF on their home ground, oh wait, I forgot about Launceston...............

 

[BarneyBent]

and yet you guys want him for some reason.

Yep, and I've no idea why. I'm hoping that's it's a contract with many performance incentives.

It was my impression that Kurt wanted us

 

[Powerade 08]

I would love Port to pick him up in the PSD. What beautiful karma for Kurt

No thanks... cant lead, cant mark, cant kick and will cost a fortune.

This will be the end of it for Sydney, especially if they are giving up best 22 players for him. They had a good run.

Yeah, same as bringing in Lockett, and then Hall, the end

Following a club that is in no better condition than what Fitzroy were when they were told no more gives you zero credibility to be turning your nose up at a player of his ability. You have by far the worst group of players that have been listed in the last 10 years. If you are relying on Melbourne,GWS or GC to hold up the ladder next year you bet to get a stronger back brace because Port will be doing the heavy lifting.

 

[db swannie]

We still travel 4-5 times a year.

Twice to Sydney, once to Brisbane, once to Perth, once to Adelaide.

It's unavoidable simply because of the demand from 9 other Victorian sides wanting home games against Collingwood.

We don't need to go through this again.

Lets not derail the thread.

I'm not derailing. I was returning serve to a Pies supporter who came in looking to take a cheap shot. Dunno why you felt the need to join in.

Now back to the Adelaide cryfest.

We want him because hes good and can get him cheapish given he has the crows at his mercy

 

[Grongey]

I respect the Adelaide Footy Club. But In the cold hard light of day, the Swans will play hardball, and we'll get KT on our terms or not at all.
- Brisbane - would max out their player payment budget, lose opportunity for trades for better value players, the Lions aren't likely flag chances for a few years anyway.
- GCS - can't hurt us in our premiership window
- Melbourne - ditto GCS
- Carlton - ditto Brisbane, Judd isn't getting any younger, nor Waite any less injury prone.

Port finished where Adelaide did last year, signed a good new coach, fixing themselves up off field, give them a break.

I can't be bothered arguing about travel with an interstate supporter about travel again. It just goes in a circle, because many don't seem to realise that they get a bonus in home ground advantages over teams playing them at their home ground, and that nothing short of giving them more home games than Victorian clubs (which would be ridiculous) can be done about Victorian teams playing at the MCG

 

[tazhawk]

We want him because hes good and can get him because Vlad will make sure of it and he has the crows at his mercy

Fixed it for you champ.

I wasn't "looking to take a cheap shot". I was pointing out that what Demitriou says about the allowance has about as much credibility as Gieschen talking about umpiring. They both have vested interests in what they are saying (expanding the game in Sydney for Demitriou), so their credibility isn't very high.

 

[The King!]

I am most bitter my hawks choked again and think words on an internet forum can change it. If i carry on in enough threads and make enough noise the afl are sure to change the result.

Back at ya champ

 

[Tex200]

We are having a wonderful time thanks. It's called the icing on the cake. Watching people gnash their teeth and howl at the moon over a player they once loved, and now hate.

You may need to do a bit of research champ. Gnashing teeth over getting fair comp is true enough, but there was never much love for Kurt either from supporters or within the playing group.

Kurt is simply a mercenary who has ridden a very fortunate wave. He will bring some structure to your F50 but little else. You can bet he will create disharmony, people like him always do. No one is really sad to see the back of him.

So you might be enjoying those celebrations, but how about your players? It's already out that this has caused angst...and they're not silly, they will know how Kurt operates. Publicity of Mitchell being shopped around? Great for morale.

You see kurt is a narcissist .....his. type always create a mess and leave it for others to clean up.

All the best with him

 

[nicky1995]

I've seen him when he played AFL. And he's shite. If a KPF couldnt get a game in your forward line this year they were very average.

I for one hope he does not want to go to your club and that he gets a go elsewhere because he does have talent. It has been very competitive to get into the side let alone stay there and I feel he suffered from not having a consistent period in the team. I wish him well and he is a team player and very supportive of his fellow players. I also suggest after your numerous posts about Sydney that you direct your negativity, smart arse comments where they belong....Tippett.

Out he caused angst at sydney? Where?

 

[Mattrox]

Now the trade just got interesting......

Do Sydney REALLY want him?

So?

 

[Elite Crow]

Why so few words?

Why so few words?

Well, do you believe Noble's public statement has any more weight than Ireland's? I should clarify, I mean Ireland's actual statement, not the one that's been repeated to the point that it's accepted without question on the Adelaide board.

 

[The King!]

Cos evry night theres a new article who cares? Means about us much as any other. Media will probably have swans quotes tomorrow again.

Well let's look at it this way. We've got one club trying to recruit a marquee player and doesnt want to give anything up for him versus the club losing the player wanting to be fairly compensated. If you can't spot the difference then it's no point in entering into a discussion with you.

Could be talking tough to the media to make it seem he played hardball before the trade, though we take crows quotes at face value.

Kudos to Noble if he is prepared to draw a line in the sand and say this or nothing good luck to them.

It is funny which articles you have to look deeper into and which you dont
