And he may!I love how the media take a simple quote by Harley that Tippett is still on our list and turn it into us luring him out of retirement.
And he may!
Most come out of retirement calls are! I’m dead against it, don’t get me wrong, but the club will do what it thinks is the right thing to do...including unretiring a player they themselves probably retired! Personally, I think the day of the ruckman are gone and has been for a while. Sure, there are a few that go alright but they’re rarely match winners!That would be a mortifyingly bad call, one that only a basket case club would make. Leave that to Fremantle and Collingwood. If we have two rucks on our list that aren't in retirement mode and haven't been battling long-term injuries, back em in. The club should give them their full confidence that they can fulfil the role.
I don't understand the problem. If he wants to go around again, let him. There is NO WAY Cameron and Sinclair are going to survive the season without injuries. What happens if we make the finals and end up without a ruck?
Surely we take Tippet back if the motivation is still there.
The alternative could be no rucks at all.I am sorry, but after Rohan and possibly Cunningham, MoneyBall is the last guy I'd want in a final.

Seems strange to not give ourselves a back up plan if it is open to us.
Well that is that.Tippett has already text the players saying he won’t be coming back
Yeah but he put a at the end...Tippett has already text the players saying he won’t be coming back
"New phone, who dis?"Tippett has already text the players saying he won’t be coming back
Actually the only thing technically correct here is the fact that he’s on half the amount (possibly or even probably less). Sinclair better average hit outs, ave disposals are about even but there’s a huge disparity in Tippett’s favour for ave goals by about 1.2 goals per game.This guy is our best ruckman now, has turned his swans career around
Half the cost of the old ruckman and better output by a mile

What is a fact though...Sinclair has been enormous shouldering the ruck this season and in my opinion, has allowed him to realise his potential!
Are you having a meltdown because your statement is false? You’re not turning into Clarko are you?Well actually Tippett was number one Ruck post Pyke and averages a goal a game, pre that he played more forward, so his goal average is inflated
As number one ruck he had 2 guys both combine for roughly the same hit outs as Tippett
Sinclair is carrying the ruck, towers has 23 hit outs, so facts can be used however you want, Tippett was never asked to carry the ruck essentially solo
