That's what it says.. no other club can afford the amount that we're offering him...
Well as far as I'm aware it's not $1mill and other clubs can match that, GWS could surely match that. But that's not because we're Premiers that we can put that figure out.

id go easy on the crows fans if this was they trade, yeah they were annoying on here and overreacted to "poor" trade talk. But one of their best players gave them the finger, understandable they would be irrational and annoyed.

Ive had a few annoy me and Ive annoyed quite a few, but usually i find their posters some of the best to talk too.

if the trade has happened because of a clause then the club is stupid and I hope we never do that but lets also remember one day soon again a player on our team may do what Tippett has done to them and I dont think we will all be sunshine and rainbows

The more I think about it the more we need this change. Yes we just won the premiership with this group of boys, but other teams are only going to get better. If we don't improve we'll just fall behind. Good move Sydney.

At this price, absolutely.

That's already happened...Grant, Rocca, Foschini, Morwood, Williams, Mitchell, Minton-Connell, Rhys-Jones, Jolly and the list goes on. We are now in the fortunate situation of having both a fantastic culture and success on-field. Adelaide knew Tippett was going to leave, they just didn't bank on him going to Sydney in place of one of the Queensland teams. Sucks to be them!

They didn't say it was, they were just referring to us as Premiers in the article, cos, well, we're the Premiers. Don't read so much into it..

In this whole debacle it has been interest to watch hawthorn supports reactions.... very interesting...
Don't know why the hawks would care, from what they and the rest of Melbourne media have been saying the swans weren't that good a team. Stands to reason the swans would want to get a better playing group together for 2013 then doesn't it? I guess those Septembers grapes were really sour then :)

Yeah was just wondering because he looked alright when he was on form.

Haha we're having a pretty good season atm so I dont know about that :D
Could say the same about us! Bit down the last few weeks (But obviously that coincided with the Swans' win so I couldn't care less) but I think we're getting back on our feet now! Maybe see you in the Playoff Final with a similar result as the GF! ;)

You are probably right the work done over the last decade might have made the club into a desired destination for KPPs who are in their prime and not just those at the end of their careers looking to extent a pay check as in Dermie. I just hope in all this they don't lose sight of what made them currently successful - it would be bad to break up the culture.

funnily enough our good run of form coincided with losing the GF. I'd be really happy to make the playoff final but maybe with the opposite result to the GF though. we'll have to wait and see.

I think while every1 is agrueing with each other about who has done what. its not the swans or adelaides fault with what is goin on, the main reason their is so much shit goin on is because of tippo's manager, Blucher. I dnt blame the swans 1 bit, as i would be after tipo to if i was @ another club. End of the day its all sydney could offer, as we did get better offers but blucher wudnt have a bar of it. Shit happens i guess haha, this is just like days of our lives on both crows & swans boards haha
