Kurt Tippet....Trade Bait???

[FlyingCrow]

I know this suggestion will be recieved by howls of protest but is he what we need?

We need a dominant forward. He is not that. Moran can be, but Tippett needs more work to even get to Moran's level. He is a capable Ruck, but Griffin is better.

If we were to trade Tippett we would get value for him. If we want to be active and trade for a forward or gun midfielder he is the kind of player that other teams want.

We cant expect to get good players in trade period if we only offer our dregs.

Thoughts??

Some people are suggesting Reilly.....Reilly>> Tippett

Cant beleive he was not in our 22 yesterday.

 

[Sir Vlado]

Stupid thread. *thumbsdown*

Trade no, not yet anyway.

Let’s see how he goes after another pre season in the gym and learning the necessary skills of a forward. We should be viewing Kurt Tippett as another Brad Otten or Kosi from St Kilda (when they had played 20 games, not now) because he is never going to be a Jonathon Brown or a Nick Riewoldt.

We need Trent Hentschel, Simon Goodwin and Nick Gill (or Scott Stevens) to perform week in, week out next year to remove a lot of the pressure placed on his shoulders. When he is getting the best tall defender and he is yet to play 20 games, it’s a bit daunting. If Trent Hentschel, Simon Goodwin and Nick Gill (or Scott Stevens) can stand up and performing it will help Kurt Tippett as he will have the 4th or 5th best defender just as it will help someone like Taylor Walker or James Sellar when they come into the side.

I wouldn’t consider trading him yet.

 

[Eastern Crow]

the lad has played less than 20 games and your calling for a trade

Kurt has some much development left in him

you have to be kidding

 

[bus24]

Yeah, nah

 

[King Elvis]

Any Kurt trade would involve the Gold Coast; we don't want to lose him, but we all know that is on the cards.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Chances are that Tippett and Moran will be on the GC's radar when they are putting their first list together.

You only have to look at how shrewd Essendon were when Fremantle came in (Lloyd and Lucas gained as compensation picks for some genuinely shit players the Bombers offloaded). Whilst both look promising types it would be great if we can gain some genuine A-level talent.

 

[King Elvis]

Can I also question the logic of trading one of the best potential key forwards we've had in a long time, for another key forward?

 

[SellarStardom]

No no no, with Walker and even Sellar in there and smarter forward entry and movement things would be fine. Plus another marking danger forward could be handy

Chances are that Tippett and Moran will be on the GC's radar when they are putting their first list together.

That’s another reason why it would be moronic if the club delisted James Sellar this year. It’s still unknown what Kurt wants to do in relation to the Gold Coast.

We would be foolish if we delisted James Sellar and then lost both Tippett and Moran.

 

[King Elvis]

No no no, with Walker and even Sellar in there and smarter forward entry and movement things would be fine. Plus another marking danger forward could be handy

That's a key point.

We're talking about getting a key forward; that's not going to do it.

We need 3-4 genuine targets, so the opposition side has to spread their defense and make sure every man is marked.

Tippett by himself gets belted.

Tippett with Walker & Sellar & Hentschel also providing a target will do a hell of a lot better.

 

[Corzafa]

No no no, with Walker and even Sellar in there and smarter forward entry and movement things would be fine. Plus another marking danger forward could be handy

Tippet is a guy we can build the forward line around, he is a great focal point likes the contested grab. we need some genuine crumbing small forward ala Rioli like would be handy. Perhaps Jacky and Dangerfield can do this next year.

 

[FlyingCrow]

By no means am I saying he is rubbish

He is the kind of player we would get VALUE from in a trade.

 

[BunjiMac]

If Tippet is able to add some muscle to that frame of his, then watch out!!

Tippet is actually quite skinny, although he is wide in the shoulders and quite mobile making him look less gangly, but still quite skinny nevertheless.

His competitiveness in a one on one contest is unquestionable, he gets he hands to almost every contest, he just gets harrased out of marking contests sometimes due to stronger opponents, and only just. If he can improve on his overall upperbody strength ala brad otten, then we have a serious player on our hands.

Save us the idiotic suggestions, Tippet will be a star, going nowhere

 

[Johnson#26]

Are you for real?

Sure, you'd get something, but it wouldn't be worthwhile

Give him 2-3 years and you have a match winner. Stick with him.

You are an IDIOT and have NFI

Haha for real?

It's been a while since I first read this thread, and I'm still as shocked as I was previously.

It's moronic. Insanity.

 

[KingsCrow]

Yes trade away a promising FORWARD line player.


Stoopid

 

[Alex99]

It's moronic. Insanity.

Why do you feel the need to call someone a moron because they have an alternative agenda to you?

Why?

 

[bus24]

Why do you feel the need to call someone a moron because they have an alternative agenda to you?

Why?

Because they're obviously a moron.

Why?

Agree, there are probably better ways to express you disapproval of the the OP's comments.

I agree that trading Tippett is a false economy, i'm not sure any key forward will b damaging in our forward line at the moment, partly due to midfield delivery and partly because of triple teaming our key marking forwards, mainly because we have not got a decent crumber to pick up the pieces. Tippett will benefit greatly from the experience of this season and another preseason. IMO we need to find another forward in addition to Tippett and get some improvement from our midfield.

We will benefit from the full time addition of two top ten draft picks next season (danger plus 2008), hopefully we'll pick up another mid this year wo could potentially be used up forward as well.
