Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[Freddy Bassett]

Very, very poor form Tippett. If you wanted to go for money, or just go somewhere else and take the best offer available, have the guts to say so. Don't spend two years talking about wanting to return home, only to pull this bullshit. Unbelievably disrespectful.


However, I'm not sure why people are so upset about Sydney being the nominated club. Obviously the strongest position for us would be if he didn't nominate anyone, but given that he was going to nominate a club Sydney is a very good choice for us because there is no way they will get him if they don't give us something worthwhile. There are plenty of other clubs willing to pounce on him, and with Sydney finishing on top every other club in the league will have a run at him before they will. I also don't understand why people think Sydney don't have any players worth trading - they've got a tonne of good players. Parker, who has been ridden in this thread, would be a great get. And with the money they're spending on Tippett it wouldn't be too hard to imagine they have some very good players on relatively little money that we might be able to entice over.



If Sydney don't offer us anything worthwhile, I'd dearly love to see us pick him back up in the PSD for another season and then next year when he's looking to go again we can tell him to make sure he talks his preferred club into offering something worthwhile this time

For the first time in this thread, I agree with you Stab..

Now for Vader

Ahhhh I like this strategy!

 

[cmndstab]

Straight swap Jesse White?

Here is a very good example of the kind of post that earns the poster a red card. Take note Sydney supporters.

 

[headache1]

And people wonder why we're under the salary cap - well we only have 6 good players!

Hahaha, well played.

It's not that at all, it's that a lot of your best players are becoming too old to be a realistic fit for the Crows.

 

[MarksGirl-kbcrowgirl]

If he cries in front of the entire stadium he'd be labeled a laughing stock, and rightly so!

I remember laughing at Nick Riewoldt when he sat on the bench crying....Kurt would be even more delicious!

Now for Vader

I haven't enjoyed disagreeing with you FB Let's hug and never fight again!!!

Ahhhh I like this strategy!

Haha, of course it's unrealistic since I can't imagine all the other clubs would just pass him up, unless they don't want to match the $1M price tag of course. Hmm.

Seriously though if it happened I would have no idea whether to be pissed or delighted, haha.

 

[feenix67]

actually blighty is fake... but Im pretty sure thats the real Rucci account... anyone confirm?

 

[headache1]

In the unlikely event Kurt was forced to walk to the PSD do you guys think any club other than Sydney is likely to match Kurt's salary/contract demands?

I think Carlton would take him in a heartbeat. When half the salary of their highest paid player is ouside of the cap, and apparently still have a lot of room from the absence of Fevola's contract, there's no way they'd let him slip though.

Fake rucci as well.

 

[Tex200]

I'm on the Luke parker train. When the red mist lifts people should have an objective look at this lad.

Not by himself of course.

There are 2 category of players to consider, first 22 name players and also young kids with big upside. Luke parker appears to have progressed very well and played 30 odd games in his first 2 years and has had some stand out games. Big upside and far from a spud

 

[Elite Crow]

haha he's getting hammered on Twitter, even Rooch!!

That's fake

 

[Hank93]

haha he's getting hammered on Twitter, even Rooch!!

Fake Rucci.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Rohan's injury nearly turns me off.

But if he gets cleared by the medical staff would probably not say no. And hope like hell he can get back to what he was.

Would nearly rather that then a glass jaw anyway.

It goes without saying a full medical would have to be undertaken .......Stevie J had an ankle that Collingwood stayed clear of

 

[BunjiMac]

Fake Rucci.

Yup fake, but he speaks the truth.

wtf? mate do you live in reality? for us to pick him back up in the PSD every other club who we finished ahead of would have to pass him up....and we won't touch him again considering what he's done to us...I've been reading your posts since this saga began and I'm really concerned that you know nothing about football

"It would have been easy to accept a generous five-year offer to stay in Adelaide, or something similar from the Gold Coast or Brisbane, and I also want to thank those clubs for their interest," Tippett said.

Seems to indicate the Swans are getting him for less money than what has been offered by GC and the Lions. This would mean the 1 million price tag being reported is rubbish which would make sense. Can any Crows supporters shed any light on whether he was the outer or unhappy? He always seems wanted from coaches and players yet his choice reflects otherwise?

 

[Brassy88]

To get this trade done and satisfy everyone adelaide need another two clubs involved. Who I'm not sure. He has F***ed us big time.

 

[BACCS]

Sydney and Adelaide have a great relationship and are fair ....reason is because of their "top up" philosophy and isolated in Sydney THEY HAVE TO SAY ON GOOD SIDE with clubs

Don't worry a good deal will be done

That's what I reckon as well. Has always been a great deal of respect between the two clubs, so I can't see them reaming us at the trade table, regardless of what his twat manager thinks. Man, I want to throw that clown off a cliff more than Tippo!

no there has never been any unhappiness with the club he was treated like a princess for six years...he's just a whore and if you think he's going to sign with you for less than what other clubs are offering then you're delusional

 

[BunjiMac]

We're going to get royally screwed unless we we go geurilla on this.

 

[Schulzycrow]

Kurt Tippett to his manager....

 

[matty p]

Putting aside Jetta (who should be a huge priority for us but I doubt we'll get him), Kennedy, Jack and Hannebery who the Swans aren't going to offer, I guess Parker and Rohan are the only players on their list of interest. We'd wanna come out with both of them in any trade scenario to be happy.

Not sure what it'd take but a nucleus of Tippett for Parker and Rohan is what might be worked on.

Of course, a 3-way trade could also be looked at. Gibbs is a potential interest for us. Would Sydney ever be willing to give up Sam Reid in a trade?

 

[BACCS]

Wow. So much for going "home".

What a mercenary, thanks for nothing Kurt.

This is home apparently, was born is Sydney... funny that never came out before today...

Actually even if we didn't plan to do this, it would make sense to threaten too. For other clubs to take him they would have to agree to his contract demands which might scare them off but we have a pick before Sydney so we can use that card in any negotiations. ie. You will only end up at the club you have chosen if you do a deal that we are happy with... or we will redraft you.
