I agree wholeheartedly. There is always an upside to everything. Change of club, change of rules, the Kid has Star written all over him...
I really believe Sydney and your supporters have zero to feel guilty about and any abuse you guys cop from our one eyeds is merely sour grapes superimposed onto a slight inferiority/victim complex. On the other hand, the arrogant gloating wind ups from some of you guys probably evens things out somewhat.
This deal was F`d when we decided to fork out so much for the under-skilled douche a few years ago. Never was he worth what we gave.
In my honest opinion,I cant see him fitting into your "sling-shot" game style however as he seems to anchor at least 2 defenders into the forward 50, which would mean a rethink of strategy on your behalf.
Tippet should have been trained as a CHB. Would be the best in the league by now, instead of the half glass he is today.
Been saying for years(or ever since Tex arrived)that we need to get him out of the forward ark.
His absence from our forward 50, and the resulting adjustment to our structural game plan is exactly the next step we need to take to get into the GF this year. Was far too predictable and too top heavy for my liking,ever since the arival of Walker. Case in point is the mauling your defense served up to us in the final.Open up that 50 arc for Tex to run wild leads ,as is his natural instinct and I think we will evolve this coming season.
Anyway, all the best with him. Congrats on your outstanding GF victory!
Im sure 90% of South Australians where rootin` for ya`ll way back when. (Ah those where the days, before football lost its innocence
Cheers
