I know for a fact AFC think its gonna be hard to get a good deal.

I would think a good pick will be hard, I guess that is what we wanted?

I dunno, but for me the threat of PSD if he wanted to go to GCS was a concern for me.


Carlton have a pick before Sydney and will snaffle him in the PSD at whatever salary. MM loves Tip.


Sydney want him, Tip wants to be there (four year contract longer than any he has accepted here) so if they are keen they have to deal with us.
 
As much as I do appreciate what you have to say, talk of salary cap rorting from a Hawks supporter does seem a bit rich
Not even talking about rorting, just the extra assistance that some interstate teams receive. Don't see what team I go for has to do with anything. Anyway, we move on.

While I'm not going to deny the extra space has played a part of this, we were no where near paying the full cap this year and with Bolton almost certainly retiring + a whole host of players on the veterans list we do have quite a fair bit of money to play with.
Fair enough.

FAITH with the goods again. Gun.

I really hope we play this mercenary in Adelaide next year. Will enjoy greatly

Thanks Crow-eater, actually im pretty dissapointed, was hoping Brisbane would make him an offer he couldnt refuse.....
This trade is gonna be hard to come out of it a winner...
 
So the flog has spoken and has named Sydney. I'm not surprised at all. He is a selfish, money hungry, egotistical liar. Sydney can have him. He is the last person I want at our club. He is polar opposite of the kind of player we want to wear the Crows jumper.

Farewell loser. Go and enjoy your new "lifestyle".....your so gutless I bet you fake an injury so you don't have to play your "life long friends" next year.
 
From the AFL website

KURT Tippett has nominated the Sydney Swans as his preferred football home in 2013.

In a media release on Saturday morning, Tippett said the renowned culture at the Swans proved the winning point.

Tippett has agreed to a conditional four -year deal with the Swans.

"It would have been easy to accept a generous five-year offer to stay in Adelaide, or something similar from the Gold Coast or Brisbane, and I also want to thank those clubs for their interest," Tippett said.

"But this was a combined football/lifestyle decision and the balance between the two. I was born in Sydney, I have a lot of friends and family there, and this offers me a chance to play football in a lifestyle which I really enjoy.

"Watching the AFL grand final last Saturday, listening to the commentary and talking to various people over time, it is obvious the Swans have a very special culture, in addition to a very good team.

"I look forward to being part of it, and playing a role in a team that can be in the premiership mix next year and beyond."

Tippett is understood to be about to depart for an overseas holiday.
So many things he said that were below the belt. This guy... I was pretty neutral when it came to him but signing with Sydney and this statement. Wow.

Well faith, I think everyone and blind Freddy can see that.

As to the 'gentlemans agreement' that has been talk about endlessly, I caught then end of Blucher saying that their had to be a commercially viable something that was agreed by both clubs? Did anyone catch that?
 
Depends how many times he hits his head on his bedhead, concussions are pretty easy for him to get nowadays... Cant wait to see him sit out most of the season and Swans fans turn on him, would be fantastic, see what he likes of the culture then..

The Sydney culture is all about team and here they are recruiting a guy who is all about Kurt...very funny.
 
Happy to send him to the PSD and get nothing back if Sydney can't come up with something very good. Why make Sydney stronger in exchange for pick 20 and a list clogger?

Might as well let him fester at GWS/GC where he can't harm us.
Hey we don't have to send Tippett to PSD for nothing ......can't we do a deal with a club like Brisbane NOT TO DO A DEAL with Sydney ....or any other club strategically placed

I'll repeat ...Gary Rohan and pick 22 for Tippett :thumbsu:
 
this guy is an utter liar. Name me one time in the last 6 years when he has gone and visited these friends and family in Sydney? He's just saying that so he doesn't appear to be a whore like he is

You don't know that he hasn't though.

Gee we came within 5 points of beating hawthorn, we finished on top of them, Sydney's playing list has an average age of 29 whereas ours is 23 meaning Sydney are real close to rebuilding mode whereas our premiership window is opening and I can't see how Sydney's culture is better than ours...this whole 'bloods' thing is such hype...

So he is that bad you wont want much in a trade?

He has been a bit of a tool about it all though in in all honesty, he will strengthen the club, i anticpate the crows will eventually take something insted of losing him for free and be the losers in the deal, but if i were in a crows fans position i would be annoyed at tippett.
 
Lifestyle choice
Longmire and Ireland went to see him 2 days after GF, original approach was made a couple of days after he put contract talks on hold in August.
Still crapping on about Adelaide's agreement to facilitate a trade "to the club of his choice"
Veiled inference that if AFC cant get the deal done with Sydney, he can walk to GC for free in PSD
That depends on GC matching the Sydney package offer :p

Maybe no club would be prepared to pick Tippett in PSD .......hello FREO

We'd be far bigger losers by making you stronger for very little relative to leaving you how you are and gaining cap space.
