Sydney and Adelaide have a great relationship and are fair ....reason is because of their "top up" philosophy and isolated in Sydney THEY HAVE TO SAY ON GOOD SIDE with clubs

Don't worry a good deal will be done

I appreciate what FAITH has said that the deal will be a hard one, and that this is what the club believes as well. On the face of Sydney will struggle to come up with what we want. They wont want to break up a Premiership side, and don't have a decent standing in the draft.

But like you, do think in the end a good deal will get done.

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 rather than hurting from losing the Prelim in the way we did and watching the Grand Final in a "that should be us" frame of mind, Kurt was soaking up just how great the Swans are, I wouldn't mind playing there and yada yada yada..

You dog ****ing piece of shit :thumbsdown:

Reading him saying that, and hearing Patty on the radio last night and his difficulty in watching the Grand Final, I can't see how Tip can fit into any team culture.


He really is a shit bloke.

If only!

For what it's worth, I think clubs like Sydney and Brisbane should get more money in their cap as for various reasons (Victorian) players want to leave them and go home. But I believe this should also apply to the likes of us, Port and the WA teams. Surely the AFL has noticed the amount of players we have been unable to keep in recent years, and some extra coin may return us to a level playing field.

Adelaide's cost of living is less than NSW/Melb .......the extra allowance was designed to attarct & retain players in Sydney as a non football state.

Don't think the relevancy exists anymore and this highlights the need for change .....just watch all clubs outcry and have this AS A MAJOR AGENDA

WHY: With Free Agency now in, those clubs with increased TPP caps are at a distinct advantage ....do you think Eddie will put up with that ...we'll just follow like normal :rolleyes:

If Sydney only offer up pick 22 and some crap player, I would seriously just let him walk to the PSD and end up at Gold Coast. Not a great business decision, but boy it would feel good!

He didn't want to play for us so let him slide to Melbourne and see how he likes that, geez that would be a thing of beauty, the media would cut him to pieces with every poor performance, beautiful
 
How fiery is the first Swans vs Crows match going to be next year? AFL will no doubt program it as a blockbuster for AAMI on a Friday or Saturday night.

That's when I hope we see his first concussion, then to come out and say that unfortunately he cannot continue to play AFL as he has a Glass Jaw..

Unless this is his plan all along?

I don't think he's that smart...I believe he's super arrogant and believes that the Crows will just roll over and do what he wants them to do...after all we've been bending over backwards for him for 6 years desperately hoping he'd stay and treating him like royalty and we've got a track record of just giving in when a player wants to leave so why wouldn't he think that?
 
I still would not be counting out Brisbane or Gold Coast just yet?

At this point, I feel Kurt Tippett simply wants to leave Adelaide and play in a different culture. At this stage, it reminds me off the Mitch Clarke situation last year who asked for a trade to Fremantle but ended up in Melbourne. Fremantle (like Sydney) tried to low ball and only offer a trade that was good on their end. During trade week, Melbourne stepped in and offered him a better deal to Clarke and then the Lions and got the trade done.

I'm still not counting the Lions or Suns from offering better deal to Kurt Tippett with more money to get a deal done once trades between the 2 parties start breaking down. They are not out of this game yet.

How is that Karma to us you **** wit?

We had nothing to do with Jolly going to Collingwood - if you're going to throw the karma card around, at least understand the context of the ******* word.

Aaahhh, well as karma can be circulated before going to the original recipient. There's a scrubs refers to it if you're inclined to YouTube 'scrubs' and 'karma'. All I'm saying is that every club gets reemed at some stage and it will be your go when a gun player decides to head to Adelaide.

Asides interesting to see if (more likely when) a third party will be involved

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...

Any yet we were less than a kick away from the GF.

If he'd played better against Sydney, we might have won the whole thing.

Exactly! He's going to lose some friends at AFC if he had any left after that statement (and signing).
