LRT Defender >>> Forward. Why is it that he is playing forward though? Is he no longer able to play down back in a full time capacity because of injury? Is he up forward for defensive purposes? Is he there just to provide a tall target? I guess we'll find out next year when/if Tippett arrives but I would be more than interested to hear people's thoughts (might need to start a new thread/revisit an old thread...although it would make this one more interesting!!).

do you not watchtheir games?

he gives a contest, brings the ball to ground if he doesnt mark it, is really efficient in front of goal, tackles and chases, often scores goals off the deck.

I cant believe all the carry on by the Adelaide supporters! A few years ago Ryan O'Keefe was going to leave because he wanted a better deal. The Swans certainly didn't carry on like the Adelaide supporters & officials and despite the fact that many were dissappointed at the possibilityof losing such a great player, nobody was dissappointed when he couldnt get the deal he wanted and stayed with the club. Now several years down the track he is a hero of the club. What if a deal can't be done with the Swans or anybody else, do you think Tippet could return to that club. I think not!

Going to be a big fall of some neutral fans high horse. Some insist we have an obligation to give more to the crows...why? We have not put a gun to the crows head
That would be like playing Poker and telling the guy across from you you've hit the Royal Flush. Defeats the purpose entirely.

Well as happy as i am for white to come on board but trade week radio have just said that if the deal gets done adelaide have been absoloutely ripped off. Its all good & well taht u dnt wana lose a premiership player but tippett is a high priced playa just like a okeefe, grundy, shaw or reid. But hey u guys think he isnt & white is a fair price. how would u like to lose reid or kennedy & reveive a richard tambling?? taht is what is goin on. I have alot of respectfor sydney & dnt care wat happens as tippet is long gone, yes adelaide fans have carried on like cry babies. but as i said, the deal with white for tippet is like we gettin kennedy for richard tambling haha.

Sorry to look like a cry baby crows supporter, as i said swans are 1 of my favoured afl sides. But i do disagree with wat the crows fans are saying but also disagree with swans fans. If u think in a neutral terms sum1 like grundy, shaw, reid is a even trade. I kno for a fact that will not happen but u gotta see the neutral reality of this trade. crows will get shafted we all kno that, life goes on. But jeeze louise both fans are bagging the crap outta each other teams,

You get a first-round pick too you know. And don't worry about Bedford, he's a Port boy, it's just his way of showing affection.

Haha its all good, you gotta expect it on the site. Yeah, I think what ever happens, happens. no matter what tippet will end up @ sydney, even if its thru the PSD. I have faith in sando & he would only take on White if he seen something in him. Both clubs will be ok, u guys wnt lose a premiership player & the crows will still be a decent side next season. For most of last season only 1 of our key forwards were avaiable each game with tippet & his concussion & walker gettin suspended, so its not like we will be affected to bad. crows fans gotta realise that
