haha yeah true, i was just running of your better players. Maybe more like O'Keefe or Sam Reid. Sorry, dont mean to look like the sore crows supporter haha
Sam Reid or O'Keefe, come on mate. Honestly he's a great player Tippett but we were never going to trade you an even trade player for him.

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
I can tell you what Sando has seen, a backup ruckman who, under the new rules, will fit the next model of ruckmen very well, is very mobile and athletic and kicks straight. It will take some work to get him into a best 22, other than Port or Melbourne etc, but the potential is there

You're a good poster mate but with the the above post you will probably get eaten alive on your board.
Haha, You dnt reckon they would agree about losing tippet & we will be ok without him haha. I try & be even as possible, I love my crows but I love AFL all together & always try look outside my own club. We will take on White & the pick as its all we are going to get. Shit happens & we will move on, atleast we are in better shape than our good friends port adelaide haha

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.
The difference is that Tippett is out of contract.

I think the Crows fans have lost sight of the fact that it is trading and when trading it doesnt matter what you think an item is worth, whether it is a car, a house or a piece of furniture, it is only worth what the purchaser is willing to pay. Go onto Gum Tree or ebay and everyday there items that are sold for way less than their true worth because at this point in time that is all someone is willing to pay. It is a buyers market and only becomes a sellers market when more than one person wants the same item such as a house auction. Even then a buyer can pay way more than the market value for a property but if he deceids to sell he will still only get what someone is willing to pay at that time. Adelaide may feel they are hard done by but their player didnt want to play with them next year and didnt have a contract, 2 choices for them do the best deal they can with another club or let him go to the PSD and get nothing. They are not holding the trump card and that is not the fault of the Swans. The Swans just need to do the best possible deal for their club as they are doing.

The deal is not equal in terms of talent agreed, no arguement from me. (Has it been confirmed yet?)

My only points have been white is not as terrible as some say and that theres no obligation on the swans to offer more than what gets accepted

How do you actually validate a good deal, this is opinion based only,
Lets look at Saints full of top draft choices and failed to win a flag,
Geelong never bottomed out and won three through clever dealing and drafting.
Our own club was built on players not getting a game elsewhere,
In drafting terms:
Goodes in the 40s
Micky O was high 30s or 40s
O'Keefe was around 50
Parker 40ish
Johnson 50ish
Kirk initially a Rookie
Tadgh never played the game before
Pyke see above
And the list goes on,
So with all due respect whether its draft pick 22, 8, or whatever there is no guarantees,
Typical of Wallace, reason why he is a failed sacked coach, he still doesn't grasp this very concept.
I actually have belief Crows accept much like we did with Jolly and would have done so with ROC and will move on and all this dribble and emotional crap is media moths trying to to get their 25 seconds, and all they are doing is roping in fans who can't think their way through and see the world won't end....

Inaugural Crows coach Graham Cornes has joined the smashing of the prospective trade, saying it is "pathetic".
"Adelaide wants to be seen as a strong club, but it has shown no strength - it has been led by the nose in negotiations," Cornes said on Radio FIVEaa.
"They should stand firm and have Tippett go to the draft rather than roll over."

Looks like its not just AFC BF posters that are ******ed its potentially a citywide thing - can't understand what is to be gained by dumping him into the draft where more than likely Sydney will get him anyway.

Think they might be few more surprises left dont think its a done deal yet, White could be part of the steak knives they might be asking for more than 22.
Possibly, we shall wait and see.

Must say read the crows thread. There are ups and downs, mental illness, the Greater WS hope, despair at medicals, lots of fuming, angry letters and the deal isn't done. great stuff if anyone is doing something on psychological analysis, group mentality or the effects of anonominity on a population

If these threads keep up for another month or so it will make it a very short off season :)
