Mega Thread The Daniher Debacle

[The King!]

Cause when Tippett and Franklin worked we looked unbeatable in 2014 after our 1-4 start we averaged a winning margin of 10 goals till the finals.

We just didnt see it enough

Yeah though tippett missed 11 games , his start at Sydney was good. agreed

the 2014 prelim was probably the best we ever looked under horse imo, better than the 2012 grand final

His 2016 season i thought was the best of his career till he got injured he was a major reason we won quite a few early games playing as a FF/Ruck

Heck his 2015 season was also very good with 44 goals playing permanent forward.

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/kurt-tippett.1064861/ this is a good reminder on what we had when he was on the field.

Someone should have thought of posting a Tippett thread.

 

[Punts]

Paying him a million first year to sit in the stands suppended

 

[BloodySwan]

Still reckon he will come

we need a marketing player with buddy retiring at years end

Heeney?

 

[caesar88]

Heeney?

Yep he is the clubs poster boy

 

[Tedeski]

Ted said he thinks the club and him will come to an agreement

I really hope he shoves that opinion back up me but I feel the guy just can't go to that next level required to get super fit without doing himself damage. It happens when you get older unfortunately.

 

[Tedeski]

well we know tippett was paid to not play at all, thats a fact

Could be worse.
Jesse Hogan is a balls up!
Edit: Ball up!

There seems to be a recent trend towards big name recruits not living up to expectations. It costs alot of money and trade value to target mature age players

Well to be fair they have had major off-field issues at their current club.

what came first the contract or the suspension?

 

[Punts]

what came first the contract or the suspension?

Was taking int the pre season draft with a million on his head to keep gws away

the club would have known he was in trouble, you don’t hire the lawyer he did if you knew you weren’t in trouble

 

[Wolftone]

Nah Tippett could play his record proves that, letting Mitchell go was a far bigger mistake than recruiting Tippett.

Tippo was quite solid.

The two problems with Tippo weref dropping reasonably easy marks or spilling contested marks he should have taken due to his height advantage. The second was his ball drop. I realise it is a long way from his hand to his foot but sometimes he had a ball drop like a drunken sailor

As long as we get Daniher dont care how its done. 5 and Papley would have been whatever

Be careful what you wish for. Running is not an indication he is anywhere near over the injury. If he gets over the injury and is willing to work his butt off sure I'd be glad to have him. But indications are neither is true at this time

Pretty good conversion rate really you are just making stuff up. Apply the mark dropping to Sinclair and you are onto something.

 

[Wolftone]

fu**s me off this arguing about Tippett and all this if we didn't drink bathwater in 14 and get shafted in 16.

Those 2 days go differently who gives a fu** about what he was on or what he did or didn't do cause of the medals around his neck

Yes I'd rather we live in the now. Ancient history is Ancient History. Let's move on. I don't like the denigration of any player. I used to loathe the way many of you treated Dean Towers. He was a player who tried his guts out every time he stepped on the park. At times things came unstuck for Deano but I have been looking at lots of old games and in some of them he was instrumental in our wins. Sad that people seem to forget players are human beings with feelings and ego problems just like the rest of us

The midfield were destroyed after the 15 minute mark of the first. The forwards hardly saw it. Again we made the mistake of playing injured players. 2016 same same. I was even expecting them to wheel Aliir into the backs in 2016

Definitely not making anything up. I was watching a replay the other night and he dropped 6 straight. Matthews commented that he should have taken at least 4 of them if not all. He got hands on every ball but fumbled the lot. One was on a lead. It was a gift and he dropped it like a poison challice

Pretty fair summation.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Tippett did play some good footy for us, but he did also fail on the big stage. Can we at least agree on those two things so we can all move on?

No more than G.Rohan.

 

[Kapanis]

Nuff said.

 

[Wolftone]

Pretty fair summation.

I actually thought on his day Tippo was a really good player. After 2016 with injuries etc he seemed to drop confidence. In the end his body just could not sustain the punishment

And no player should be judged harshly on that at their career's end. Having said that him being critiqued harshly because of the 2 glaring weaknesses you mentioned is fair and reasonable because he had the physical attributes to excel in that area which during his tenure would have made us a better team. His mooted salary added to the angst of some supporters because of what he could of delivered but didn't. Noticed I said mooted because **** knows what he was really on.

You base your criticism off one match. Yeah ok. Seem to remember him clunking many a good grab and being exceptional below his knees before injury and age started creeping in.
