I was over it before it started Alex. I've moved on... but you can't. You cannot accept the judgment of the AFL nor of our own Board. They must all be incompetent, you (and your mates) believe, because they don't see it the way you do. Therefore they will always be incompetent. And as long as you believe that, you'll never move on. Bloody awful way to live.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
No, actually you haven't. You're only over the part where people talk about the impact that it's had on Steven Trigg.

If you're over it, why are still making stupid childish jokes about Kurt Tippett being a girl, a sook, a money hungry grub and other stuff like that?

You're not over it. You just want it to only go one way.

I'm over the stupid, childish comments on Trigg (see two can play that game) but more particularly about our board. You can't change their decision, so accept it and move the hell on.

The jokes about Tippett will never stop. Well, certainly not for a while. It's not what he did, but the way he did it that upset everyone. And I might point out, I am not the only one making jokes about Tippett - how about you go after the others as vociferously as you go after me?

You can not accept that people want to that stupid little worm gone from our club. and as long as he's still involved, the comments will fly.

You are the only one who can control your own behaviour, no one else. YOU. Stop blaming others for your own actions. You want this to stop, stop your own childish comments that are not true.

The anger towards Trigg will continue as long as he's CEO and so will the comments.

Having a thread for poking fun at $Kurt is a different context to this thread
No it's not.

As long as my arse points to the ground, no one will change my mind that he (and everyone) is allowed to live and work wherever they like. He's gone, he's not coming back and it's time to move on. But some refuse to as they don't accept people have a right to do as they please. We don't and have never owned the players.

Was it you, but someone said "to err is human" and yes, if he had his time again I'm sure his behaviour would be very different but some people won't let that go. Just as some people won't let the Trigg stuff go. Apples with apples.

Trigg behaviour was wrong and unaccepting and some are willing to let that go. Why not allow it to go for both?

This threat isn't the issue, it's the topic. The topic will continue to be discussed as long as Trigg is still at the club. He is the one consistent still involved (mind you he is on suspension). KT is in Sydney, Reid is retired and Trigg is coming back in July.

You can have as many threats locked all you like however the topic will continue to be discussed in different threats.

Until all parties are gone, this will be an issue as it will rear it's ugly head sometime into the future.

He aint at the club right now.


Locked unless he comes back???:cool:

At risk of being a hypocrite and posting in this now redundant, albeit epic, thread......




I am glad we did not get Jesse White, lazy footballer . You would think he would be busting his nut to prove the Swans wrong for wanting him gone. But no.

Why's that Geoffa? Has he been no better in the pre-season for the Swans?

Alex, You just can't help yourself can you? my discussion point was about closing the thread however you have used it to again recycle your views, you have made your point over and over again, I get it

I personally don't begrudge someone someone leaving to earn more money, I left Adelaide to earn more money in Sydney however there is a right way and wrong way to go about it

With that said I'm not going to be drawn into another debate on the matter because if you want to read my views they are well stated in this thread however buried under pages and pages of the same shit but different day

He knows that the Swan's have already signed his death warrant

My views?

More like equal opportunity. It's only fair we eliminate all the negative comments towards both parties if we want this to end and to actually move on.

So we're talking about behaviour?

Is it fair to only comment on kurt Tippett behaviour and not the other people involved?

And as for making this about me, I haven't made a comment in this thread for close to 100 days. So, it's not about me, it's about fairness for someone who can not defend himself.

Can I suggest that all comments regarding Trigg and the board go into the Trigg thread, and all comments/jokes re Tippett come on here. That way those that want to vent and go over old ground re Trigg and co can do so to their hearts content. And those of us that want to talk/joke about Tippett can do it in here without the thread going over old ground?

Firstly I am NOT a self imposed spokesperson for the club.
Who did appoint you? ;)

Secondly, I ask you this question. You've never changed your mind about something? Thought a certain way about something and then a few years later circumstances change and you change how you originally thought?
The question is whether circumstances changed or if you were just wrong the first time round

Someone slates a young player, they are not very knowledgable about these things. player makes it, said person then claims player's attitude changed and that's why their initial call was right.

Did circumstance change or was it a bad call?

Those who lack courage of their convictions will give a third option: both

I'll ask again as this question can not or will not be answered by the self imposed club spokes people in jenny61_99 or macca23

Why did Kurt Tippett ask or agree to have any side agreement written into any contract in 2009 if he had any intentions of staying?

Everything you say, has come directly from the club and as far as I'm concerned, they have a vested interest to keep this mess as positive as possible. The agreement is a fact, it was kept quiet as possible and denied for as long as possible, yet you still insist on him committing to the club. That the part of the story that just doesn't add up.
I don't think the propaganda/justifications from the club have no value, but should be treated for what they are:

The version of events from the accused.

Since when did anyone take the story of those accused of an offence as being the gospel truth?

Isn't it just as likely to be anything but?

We know what was told to the club at the time, but...
And you call me a shallow thinker :D

We know NOTHING of the sort. There is no evidence at all, just the leaking of the accused's version of events

We know, if you are to be believed, that someone in the club, was told by someone in the club, that a story that takes the pressure off them is true.

We have no reason, in light of subsequent events, to accept this as true.

In fairness TSR, I don't think anyone on this forum is pissed at him for leaving, purely for the manner in which he did it.

Please stop posting this rubbish. There is no evidence to suggest that anything the club has said about this is untrue - none at all. It's just the workings of your feverish, delusional mind.

Go back and read my previous post, where I set forward a plausible timeline which fits with pretty much everything we know about the whole affair - including what Adelaide, Sydney and the other clubs have said about their negotiations with Tippett.

There is every reason to believe that both Tippett & Blucher were on the point of signing a new contract when Tippett suffered his 3rd concussion. By this time the AFC knew that they had seen off the threats from Brisbane and Gold Coast. These clubs were only able to satisfy one of Tippett's 4 requirements ($$$$$, team success, anonymity, and more $$$$$$). Adelaide were able to meet all bar one - anonymity. I firmly believe that he was reconciling himself to spending another 2 years living in the fish bowl. At this point, Adelaide were the only viable offer on the table.

Then he got his 3rd concussion and Adelaide put negotiations on hold until he recovered. It was during this period that Sydney came over the horizon and stole him from under our noses.

Have a think about things logically. If something requires a truly outlandish set of circumstances and could only be described as the lunatic ravings of a demented mind, then it's probably not a realistic outcome. If something makes sense and fits all the known facts, whether you regard them as "propaganda" or otherwise, then it's probably right. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then the odds are pretty good that it's a duck.
