Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[alex_is_on_fire]

how did you come across this information?

Reading, listening and observing the media.

The Crows are soft but not that soft and that deal is just stupid to say there is nothing more to it.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

That HAS to be the most ridiculous thing Ive ever heard. If it isn't a signed, written agreement, it isn't anything.

No way. The most ridiculous thing I ever read was that Kurt's decision would have nothing to do with money.
Just saying

Most ridiculous thing I have read - pick 22 and White for Tippett.

 

[Dangerzone_19]

So there's now actual footage of White going into Crows HQ? Could it have been some other spindly long faced fellow with shit tats?

I'm trying really hard to not believe.

There is footage alright, the type that parental supervision is required.

 

[StonesThrow]

I hope White doesn't read big footy aha

And if you think the problems will end at the trade table, you're sadly mistaken.

This sort of weak rubbish sends a message loud and clear about how fair dinkum we are in this competition. How serious we are about winning premierships. Our conduct if true is not just unprofessional, it's bereft of any pride or dignity, and is a slap in the face to everyone associated with the AFC. It is spitting on the work of the players who commit themselves wholly and ruthlessly to the contest on the field. Sando demands uncompromising football from our players, and they are proud players. If we do not act similarly off the field, it could eventually cost us (in large or small part) playing personnel. Culture is everything in this game, top to bottom.

And I wouldn't blame them for leaving a club that conducts itself like this. It's embarrassing. It's disgusting. It's a mockery of them as competitors, and of our coaching staff who put so much into achieving results, only to a have a pissweak set of upper decision makers pull down the pants and bend over for all and sundry. I don't feel like the Adelaide Football Club is serious about winning premierships.

Never been ashamed to be an Adelaide supporter until today. Not good Adelaide. Not good.

Sydney need White off the books to fit Tippett in. There's more to this.

So Sydney are screwing us over the Tippett deal & they want us to do them a further favour. WTF, should we throw in Danger too?

 

[arsene wenger1]

make sure you share the lube guys....everybodys gonna need a bit

Must have also been in the gentlemen's agreement...

 

[FullyBigKPro]

This is getting more delusional by the moment....

How bout we just bend right over fully, pull our pants down and apply the lube and offer the following to get the deal done quickly:

Dangerfield + Tex + Talia + Brodie Smith as steak knives for J White alone.

Accepting pick 23 and/or Jessie White will be the most disgracefully inept effort by the AFC i have ever seen in 21 years.

 

[spexau]

There's no way we'd trade for just White and 22 if it helped Sydney fit him in the cap. That would be the leverage we'd need to actually get anything decent out of this godforsaken trade.

This whole situation is rubbish anyway. AFC could not have been played into a corner any more than they currently have by Bulcher, Tippett and the Swans.

Don't give them ideas!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, you're missing the point. Us taking White off their hands is part of the deal - it's Tippett + salary cap relief for White + 22 + something.

The Smack homesick thing is a go-er too. If he has requested a trade, even if it was before Tippett said he was leaving, our recruitment team will trade him off for something now knowing we have White as the back-up to Jenkins.

We just don't know what the other piece of the puzzle is yet but there is more to the Sydney deal.


Edit: White still being on the books at Sydney ****-blocks them in the PSD too. They want to deal and they need White gone.

Edit 2: We're probably waiting to see what the Knights compo is and will throw that Sydney's way as part of the deal. So we're looking at a player of note - my tip Rohan.

Shows how much smiths stock rose during the finals, got him ahead of sloane

 

[Mattrox]

oh Please God, I haven't prayed in a long time .... please let the other piece of the puzzle be Jetta or Kennedy......

What is this "something", and how can it possibly be of any value to us?

 

[arsene wenger1]

anyone here rowe on aa earlier regarding the clause in muppets contract...was described by the source as like selling your football soul when they resigned him 3 years ago. hope thats refering to the $$ rather than any clause.

 

[BACCS]

IMO - he is dead set correct on this.

There has to be more to it and that then makes perfect sense.

There is more to this than what is on the surface

Finally a sensible post alex, it is a nice change. It is exactly what I'm thinking.

If the something is Rohan, Parker, Jetta, Lamb - it's of value.

Yes, I rate Lamb.

 

[ruscy002]

**** the Knights compo, shouldn't be more than Tippett for 22 + Rohan + White.

 

[Bob Neil]

I hope White doesn't read big footy aha

I think you might be giving him too much credit...

 

[BACCS]

Yes, I rate Lamb.

It's not bad, but I prefer a T-Bone steak myself.

You are in no position to be condascending

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Where has this something extra come from?

**** the Knights compo, shouldn't be more than Tippett for 22 + Rohan + White.

Relax mate, we can't do anything with the Knights compo (likely to be 60+ anyway). We don't have the spots on our list. We'll pick up two in the draft, the third is Callinan upgraded.
