The latest word I've heard is that we were expecting a response today from the AFL, but have now been told that won't happen for another couple of weeks. So it looks like this thread will be living a while longer still. 20k posts here we come!
So you were describing a Scottish man, lol.

Well given the investigation into Melbourne tanking this could be true.

In the last few pages I've seen a few comment about the timing of Sydney's approach, and then Tippett's performance in the QF against the Swans. You've gotta be having a laugh if you think a player would deliberately play bad in a final against a future side.Even if he knew he was going to them he would have wanted to win a flag with the Crows this year before going. No one, even if they are as selfish as Tippett, would deliberately play badly when so much is at stake. And furthermore, why would he play so well against the Hawks? So he could play the Swans in a GF and play like shit and let another team win a flag. I know we all want to jump up and down about him leaving, but give me a break about this crap.
Also, if it were a potential team, you would want to play well and increase your stocks.

I agree. I don't think he would deliberately play crap but it would have been playing on his mind.
And no doubt he was already spending a stack of cash in his head like I am right now (preempting my 100m lottery win).
"I wonder if this guy is going to be pissed when I'm earning double his wage on the same team next year? Oh well, these nobodies are going to need me. Now, should I buy the Bentley for me, a Mercedes for Blucher and a Penthouse in the CBD... OR a Mercedes for me, a card for Blucher, and a waterside mansion with a view of Sydney Harbour? Sh!t the ball is coming my way... ok don't get concussed, they won't pay as much if you do and you'll have to downgrade to a Kia... How am I going to get my surfboard on top of a Kia!?"

Perhaps not a deliberate effort, but perhaps it was in the back of his selfish mind.

I totally agree. Even if $kurt had signed with the Swans at that point and was guaranteed to be going there next year (which obviously isn't possible in the AFL) I don't see why that would mean he would not want to beat them this year. You would think that $kurt would still prefer to win a premiership over not winning one.

So you're saying his selfish mind thought it would be better to not win a premiership for himself?

What IS your avatar, by the way? I guess it is the Sydney logo on something, but I always think it is a urinal whenever I see it.

Premiership is a team award, not an individual award. If he wanted to win premierships he would have stayed with the Crows, Sydney's best players are all over 30.

So you're saying that he is so against winning a premiership that he would deliberately sabotage his team's attempt to win one?
We're getting to the tinfoil hat stage now.

Not against, he just does not care, he only cares about the money and a shallow life style ala Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.
His performance was not of a play who was "sabotaging" his teams attempt to win a game, it was of a player who didn't care.
Nothing at all friendand whats wrong with scottish men??

It is my 1987 swans membership badge. Took the photo on my iPhone. Rarely use a computer so it looks fine when I see it on the phone. May need to change it now.

His body language was borderline disgusting at times over the last two years too. Very petulant, especially after the SF.

The only difference will be that I was going for Sydney in the GF this year but after seeing how they conduct themselves in the off-season I will never support them again.

I took it as someone that was disappointed in the way that they had performed.
I've played in winning finals before where my team has won but I've not been happy after the game because I played a bad game and felt like I didn't contribute to the win. $kurt seemed to have a similar demeanour after the Freo win.
I doubt that he lay down thinking he didn't want to beat his future employer.
However, if I was staring at a million dollar contract and one head knock was enough to write it off, I'd be tempted to go easy too. Just sayin'.
And it's not that hard to picture Kurt doing that considering post-season he's been all about Kurt. Love-and-kisses text messages aside, he's behaved like a guy who wanted to win a premiership with his mates because it would help him negotiate a bigger contract.

Yeah I agree, I never suggested he threw the game, I think someone else did.

But even if he was thinking of money in the Sydney/Freo games, it doesn't explain the Hawthron PF performance. It sounds like the Sydney idea was there already through all performances, and he was our best player in the PF.
Everyone is forgetting he played pretty crappy ever since his concussions (other than vs Melbourne and the PF). So all this thought process is rubbish, he gave his all, played crap, Walker was much better. He was lucky he played on Shoenmakers in the PF, if he was on a decent defender he would probably have been crap again.
People reading way too much in to it all. Even the 'if he wanted a premiership he'd stay in Adelaide'. At the end of the day, he did hate the Adelaide media, couldn't surf etc. In Sydney, he can (could have before all this) get away from media, and the weather is generally better for longer. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a selfish prick, and will never support anything he does again, but lets not get carried away with all the conspiracy theories like many have on the previous 745 pages.
