Player #3 - Kurt Tippett
So Tippett started 2017 with a huge load upon his shoulders, and I don't mean his head. After a woeful performance in the 2016 Grand Final where he was awarded the Leon Davis medal with only perennial underperformer Gary "Hutchence" Rohan as serious competition for the award, expectations were high. Combined with Buddy and Reid, the Swans tall forwards were about as expensive as Hanson and slightly less hard at the ball. What would Kurt do, would he make amends for his 2016 and show everyone what he is capable of? Would he justify his huge salary of $4m over 4 years when he left Adelaide like so many of his ex-teammates before him?
Kurts demise started in 2014, and he has featured in more losing grand finals than I can poke a statistician at.
