Scandal Tex Walker's impact in finals

[ManOfClay]

The mark would have been paid to the Dogs.

Actually no. Tom Boyd did the same thing 20 seconds earlier.

But we all know how each players’ game panned out after that, don’t we?

 

[dank420_]

"he will tell you" inferring there is a more nefarious actual reason?

maybe

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

maybe

Were you DapperJong in a previous entity? If so, I'm taking this seriously.

 

[Vikingblood]

Yup. But i only rememeber because i had a pineapple on him for first goalscorer

He played like he had a pineapple up him.

 

[Chuckie357]

I hope it is not true. He has been struggling the last 18 months through injury but if he could get over those injuries he is actually a very good player.

Haha, Sydney....the city of dreams

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

The Swans would have preferred this before the draft. Do they get a top up?

No,But AFLHQ will find a loop hole.

 

[The King!]

No,But AFLHQ will find a loop hole.

Another trade ban maybe

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Another trade ban maybe

Hmmmmmm,Maybe.Depends on your plans.

 

[TheMase]

maybe

If I were a guessing man I would expect he was told that given his age and body we would be prioritising other players and not to expect a lot of senior footy.
Probably figured it is not worth putting his body through 2-3 (including this one) more seasons only to play 2s.

Would like to know how long he is contracted for and when he signed it

From what the club has indicated he was contracted until the end of 2018 however extended his contract until 2020 at a lower amount per year in order to relieve salary cap space / stay with Swans until end of his career. Not sure exactly when but either in 2016 or early 2017.

This may or may not have been the amount he was going to earn over those years spread over a longer time, or slightly more as a package. Nobody is really sure.

Surely not retiring with 3 years of cobtract left.

Trade ban is slightly incorrect. More a trade restriction. Could have traded for who you liked had you agreed to adhere to the salary cap everyone else had to then and there

Sounds like a good plan for someone about to retire. Instead of coping a big pay hit in one season spread it out over multiple seasons. This is the period where Buddy is getting mega cash and salary cap is biting.

For the amount of money he’s getting I would keep going. Where else is he going to find a job with a 500k salary?

Perhaps there are clauses in his contract (in all contracts?)?

If a doctor said he wouldn't be able to play at this level he may be forced to retire?

Just guessing. Who knows, could be all bs.

 

[DrEvil_]

Better than Jessie White.

Not sure Tippett qualifies then.

 

[SCRAY72]

I heard he retired just before the first bounce October 1st, 2016.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

He should call Chris Mayne and find out.

Hey leave our list clogger alone

If it's true I have a feeling he's going to move back to the Gold Coast and take up a coaching role with us. A new position just opened up with Nick Malceski moving into the NEAFL coaching role so there's a spot for him if the two parties wish to do so. Plus, a quick look on his instagram shows his two most recent photos are of him on the Gold Coast with mates.

That would be a huge mistake on GC part IMO.

 

[Timewaster]

How the game will go on without Cloke and Tippett is a mystery. We'lL never see the like of such over-rated list cloggers again...

 

[Anja_Nees]

We surely don’t need to turn this one into a 2016 GF troll thread.

Was a good player a few years back. Very good in 2015. Problem is he moved for big coin and didn’t deliver when needed. Swans never needed both him and Franklin and if they’d known Lance would become available I doubt they’d have traded for him.

They didn't trade for Tippet. He went straight to them for nothing in the pre-season draft. And yet somehow the Swans still overpaid for him based on what he's delivered.
