O'Keefe wanted out from Sydney as well and I think most Sydney fans would be pretty happy that he stayed.
He wanted to go back to Victoria we were willing to let him go but also said if no trade was to happen he would be happy to stay, he would of been a Hawk had they been remotely serious in their offer.

Talk on the D & T board of Dawes to Demons for pick 13. Surely that means Tippett is worth a top 8 pick at least!
For a one off pick i would think at least top 4 depending on what prospects are in that draft, maybe top 2.

Just think of each clubs highest paid player. Now think what that club would demand in a trade for that player?

A couple of points that I think are relevent.

1. Sydney approached Kurt during concussion period and then visited him a couple of days after a flag and offer him a huge deal. This suggests to me that they have a very good reason to want him so badly. They also would be aware that getting a deal done with us will be hard so again they must have thought about this before going to the trouble of signing him so I think they must have a high profile player leaving that they know is going to free up picks and cap space, I mean why would anyone that has a premiership team be doing all this otherwise.
The only thing would be if his manager and Sydney both believe the 2nd round deal will happen. I think they are banking on this being factual and the Crows holding their end of the bargain.

I believe his manager has sold this gentleman's agreement as 100% factual and 100% going to happen, no matter what as if that's the only deal they have to satisfy.

It will be interesting to see what sort of deal Sydney offer up first.

it's gonna be interesting to see how this whole saga plays out... Tippett is the first defector under the Sando reign?..I'd like to see Sando making it quite clear to his playing list that Adelaide footy club is his priority and not pandering to those of the cash/lifestyle driven set. Play hard Sando as Tippett has taken the play fair card off the table when he chose someone other than GCS!

He has already asked to be traded to another club a few days ago, if his girlfriend lives in Adelaide that's where he would like to be going.
That's fine, but Sydney need to be trading with a SANFL club, because no AFL club is going to be interested in White.

Didn't McLeod want to leave at one stage? I'm glad we put in a bit of effort into talking him to stay.
No, Andrew McLeod father in law wanted him to take a deal with the Brisbane Lions in 1998. As far as I know, Andrew never wanted to leave or took that deal serious.

The good thing is it appears none of our other players are with Velocity Sports, this has to be a good thing!!

Notice how they don't let a "promotional" chance go by putting $kirt Yippett right to the front of their photo array of players under their management!!

"Kurt Tippett is a powerhouse marking forward cum ruckman who hails from Gold Coast club Southport. A former standout basketball junior, he was drafted to the AFL less than two years after trading his "high-tops" for a pair of football boots, having combined the outstanding ball skills and athleticism of basketball with the physicality, competitiveness and team environment of football. "

I know what it means but my childish side still lol'd

If that's their current understanding and we don't bend over, i wonder how the Mediators will view 'The Agreement'?

Surely they can never argue Sydney is 'home', that's just utter BS.

Then it comes down to what a Million Dollar man is worth in a trade:thumbsu:

Gentleman's agreement indicated to me that this is not written in any contract therefore the mediators can not take this into consideration as it's there word against ours.

This is true. Home is not Sydney and will be laughed at if they try and play that game.

If the media suggest Grundy for Tippett one more time i will scream.

Is Grundy worth a million??

Grundy + 22 is still no good.
I have more time for Grundy on this board than most others, 2011 was a really good year for Grundy and this year he was servicable, with that said I think that he could come in a play a important role for us however Grundy needs to be the sweetner in the deal not the centre peice

FWIW those who have listen to Paul Roos since his retirement from coaching would have noticed that he rates Grundy extremely highly and to the point where he considers him in the swans most 2-3 important players

22 + Grundy I say no

22 + Rohan + Grundy, or 2 first round picks (likely to be late picks) + Grundy then maybe

Ignore the agreement. Clearly related to going home, he isn't, so **** them.

After the rubbish we've had to put up with the last couple of years, I'd genuinely put him in the PSD.

See if GWS will take him for mini draft picks?
Have to do a trade, just can't be given draft picks

Trade: Tambling to GWS for mini draft pick #1 an Giles
Crows sit on hands .....Tippett to GWS in PSD

OR

Trade: Tambling to GC for Gorringe and #13
Crows sit on hands ......Tippett goes to GC

Well liked. Nothing out of the ordinary afaik. Tex looked up to him and they got along very well. Others might know more on this than me (probably)
where did you hear this as many others have heard the opposite

Tex & Tipp did have some on-field chemistry however I would not go as far as saying that Tex looked up to him, in terms of other players I have used words like "tool" and "a little different" which is a kind way of saying tool

Wellinghams manager was on Sen yesterday. It's either Collingwood or West Coast. He was a WC supporter and a childhood dream was to play for them, now the opportunity has presented itself he wants to go there. Plus there has been personnel issues back home which he has been dealing with for the last 6 months.
With Caddy, Clark and Tippett now ...... i think we can safely say BULLS>>>T to these player statements

I think in time he will be an absolute star
Rohan was on the cusp of being a star this year

If suggestions by posters are to trade Rohan to Geelong for a draft pick to be on-traded to us ......why wouldn't we just take Rohan directly, as he fills an URGENT need outlined by Sando :confused:

Hell i know the injury throws up a ?? ....but with medical ok and the lad being a country boy and mates with anger, hell why wouldn't we???
