oh, sorry I couldn't be arsed going back 250 pages
what was it?
I honestly don't think it's about the money at all. There's no doubt in my mind that Adelaide's offer was as good financially as he would find elsewhere (or very close to it). It's probably more about lifestyle. Let's face it - as a surfer - where would you prefer to live? Adelaide or the Gold Coast? The fact that his family lives on the GC is an added attraction as well.We are likely to lose Wellingham, and probably another player (potentially a Dawes). Plus we will have 3 players on the Vets list. Apparently we have a bit of room to move. Maybe it's not just about the money for Tippett?
He's still possibly 1 head knock away from retirement, needs to get as much out of this career as he can.so it wasn't necessarily about going home.

"Equivalent to the compensation we would have received if he went to Gold Coast two years ago". We wouldn't have received "the Ablett Compensation" so look for mid to late first round draft pick or player equivalent.
If Mitch Clark was worth pick 12 then Kurt is worth pick 1, 2 or 3. This aint gunna happen.
P.S. Spackler, Kurt signed the deal three months after Craig left.
Just keep repeating, it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault, it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault, it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,
Yep.At least this frees up ****loads of cash! Lets go shopping for a straight shooter!
Oh **** off and take your surfboard with you Kurt!
No, it was about leaving Adelaide.
Thousands of people choose to leave Adelaide each year because they'd rather live somewhere else.
Davis and Bock were money. They were happy they were the ones chosen to receive the expansion club prize. Tippett and Gunston was a simple "I don't want to live here."
Mate - don't most of them leave for career opportunities?No, it was about leaving Adelaide.

Couldn't agree more. Based on last few seasons, worth $550,000 tops.I'm actually more relieved than disappointed. I liked Tippett, but no way was he worth $800k. I'd pay Franklin that kind of money, but not Kurt.
Yes.... Kurt Tippett.....I'm gutted - really lost for words. What has caused this to happen ? He clearly wants out to anywhere else. Is there something toxic at the AFC ?
Has to be ALL about the money if he considered going to your mob! Hope the Pies enjoy the salary cap review coming its way if they pick Kurt up.
What else is there to attract him to the club that treated Mick so poorly and is willing to place premiership players on the scrap heap in order to get him.

Disappointing day for the AFC. Club has done everything it could. But you have to want to be apart of where we are going. #2013 we r coming!
