Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[Membling]

If you do get him I would advise against that. Playing him at CHF allows him to stay in the game and prevents him developing bad habits. Just my 2c.

Fair fair. Have no idea what the coaching staff would do. Only thing is Reid will not be traded. Required player and very certain on the no go section like Tex, danger, Sloane and Talia category

 

[Chief Crow]

He will be at the crows next year

I remember these kind of comments last year reguarding Bryon Sumner. "He will be part of the trade for Armstrong, No way will we let Johnston go as he is contracted and part of our future".
These comments sound familiar?

Mods can wecard any Syd troll that keep suggesting White, Pyke etc for Tippett

happy to hear valued trades but this notion of Kurt to Syd for Fringe crap deserves cards

 

[PyroCrow]

this has been floated around but when have GWS actually come out and said this, in my view GWS have been pretty silent on the whole Tippett thing

even if GWS have said so didn't Port say the same thing about J-Mac all the way up to the night of the PSD

Furthermore GWS would love to get one up on its state and expansion rivals and no one can convince me that a young side like GWS could restructure quickly to fit Kurt under the cap and couldn't use a 25 yr old, 202cm, 100kg monster to help with their young list

people need to start taking what clubs say in the media as gospil

Even more interesting considering that they were all into another power forward not that long ago. If Sheedy was prepared to restructure his team to accommodate Cloke you could imagine that taking similar measures for Tippett wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

/conspiracy theory

 

[Iva Bigun]

My wife has. And I enjoyed her reading it too.

So did I

 

[Chief Crow]

I got a feeling... he will look good in the red blue and gold

Well he is a queenslander right. I'm sure he will look alright in Gold Coast colours

 

[Danair]

SCG does not suit that structure

this is why I think Reid could be the player that Swans trade to another club for an early pick (Pies or Carlton) and pass on to Adelaide

The guy will be on his first year of a very lucrative five year contract, he isn't going anywhere.

Everybody knows his brother plays for Collingwood and most people know Gary Rohan played juniors at Geelong it does not mean they are being traded there.

We are not going to destroy the future of our club to get an earlier pick for you guys.

 

[earlsta]

There is no way in hell that we'll want Jesse White and #22 for Kurt. I'm sure we'll rather send Kurt into the PSD for nothing, just as a deterrent. If anyone in the future tries this with us again, these are the issues you will encounter, White is trash. We'll eat our losses and become even better, our club needs to make a stance. #22 is a JOKE. Send him in the PSD, let him finish his career getting overtaken by Patton and Cameron.

Bit OTT. And precisely why you'll lose Tippett if you're not careful. This is one time when the deal needs to be fair to both clubs... this isn't Eddie you know...

Please bring back the discussion with the Gold Coast supporters..
Change your mind just for this reason Tiprat..

then your not going to get Tippett then

I really do think that there is a disconnect in the thinking of your CEO and Coach to that of it's supporters

clubs dont make the sort of play for Tippett like the Swans have unless your prepared to pay and I'm not just talking contract

facts are Kurt was always heading to the GC until your club CEO & Coach put an offer forward that could not be refused, so forget the reasons given by Kurt and his Manager this is all about a decision changing deal

with this in mind to offer a deal like that your club would completely understand that to actually get him its going to take parting with currency and its going to involve other clubs so whether its Reid or Rohan or not your are not going to be in a position to protect your list and this is why I think this strategy by Sydney has the potential to cause ripples within the playing group especially after delivering a premiership

so if Kurt ends up at Sydney it will cost Syd more currency then pick 22 and White otherwise Kurt will be forced to re-evaluate noth GC and Brisbane options as initially planned or face the creditable threat of the PSD

 

[Elite Crow]

Can we negotiate with Carlton instead? These Swan flogs are unbearable.

 

[Danair]

I'm fine with that.

Giving away Gary Rohan and Sam Reid for Kurt Tippett isn't "fair", it's ridiculous.

 

[J_Moore]

Murmur on the Sydney board is that Pyke isn't too rapt with developments.

Imagine if we were to land Pyke. That Bay13 thread would become the biggest backfllip thread in history.

I'm pretty sure there is no murmur about Pyke. I saw him talking to Longmire outside the SCG this afternoon, and posted that observation as a pisstake in the thread. Now I pop on here and read that Pyke is unhappy with the trade?

Jesus, you can see how these absurd trade rumours get started.

I'd suggest that there's not too much point to this gnashing of teeth from supporters of both clubs. We'll see what transpires on Monday.

Parker + 22 to the Dogs
Pick 6 to Adelaide
Tippett to Sydney

Is that a reasonable deal?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

I'm fine with that.

no paying $1m per year for Kurt is ridiculous

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Parker + 22 to the Dogs
Pick 6 to Adelaide
Tippett to Sydney

Is that a reasonable deal?

why would WB do that

Not for the Dogs.

why would WB do that

Parker is a bloody good player. Would greatly help their struggling team.

 

[Iva Bigun]

I'm surprised Kurt didn't nominate Manchester United.

They're as good a chance to win a "football" premiership as anyone. Plus they could pay him heaps.

It wouldn't provide the football / lifestyle mix skirt was after

 

[PyroCrow]

Parker is a bloody good player. Would greatly help their struggling team.

Probably but I doubt that they would value him that highly.

I blame Iva Bigun and supernova_ from Gold Coast if only they had accepted my most generous offer for them to okay it with their club and give us Pick 2 none of this would now be occurring!

 

[spudmaster]

Parker is a bloody good player. Would greatly help their struggling team.

They have 5 and 6, and in a strong draft they will either use them to pick up back to back young talent in the ND or try to bargain for access to the mini draft picks.

Sorry but the Dogs get shafted in the deal you proposed.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Parker is a bloody good player. Would greatly help their struggling team.

a bloody good player that is yet to cement himself in your team however is worth pick 6

are you taking the piss, scary if not

 

[Indie_]

What about St Kilda at pick 12?

Would Adelaide consider Pick 12 + a sweetener enough?
