Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[ruscy002]

I think we are ALL confused by it. Blucher added that Kurt really liked the idea of being coached by Horse because he played in the same position and then added, he also liked the idea of having a taller coach seeing he hadn't had a coach over 5'9"! Sando is 6'1"! So I get it referred to short arse Craig, but what is sando? Chopped liver? Maybe Kurt didn't like sando? Or maybe, just maybe, blucher is a Moo.

Does Blucher manage Caddy? The media statement would be something along the lines of "We'd really like to get Josh to St. Kilda. He's...uh...really, ummm...religious, yeah so the Saints are a good fit for the wellbeing of his immortal soul".

or we could really like to get Josh to the Cats as Caddy sounds like Catty, not to mention Josh had a cat named Stevie when he was a young boy

Expecting this time tomorrow 190+ pages.

Plus the 350 pages odd leading up to his decision.

But he'll string it along until the last day making gentlemen's agreements with all and sundry then Caddy decides to go to Freo cause he likes their song.

On top of the 280 paged, will he won't he thread!

If only you were of the Wendell kind and you could have lined up at CHF.

Nah, probably Essendon, because he used to build model aeroplanes as a kid...

Wants to go to a club where the coach's name starts with a H because its symmetrical.

Like others I have a sneaking suspicion that Sydney know something about one of their players (Kennedy or Reid) that has driven them to chase this Tippett deal...how about

Dawes & Wellingham to Melbourne for pick 4
Sam Reid to Collingwood
Tippett to Sydney
Pick 4 to Adelaide

This is a pretty good trade IMO. Perhaps a few other things thrown in.

Collingwood lose Dawes, Wellingham, 39. Gain Reid, 45, 26
Melbourne lose 4, 45, 26. Gain Dawes, Wellingham, 39, 61
Adelaide lose Yippett, 59. Gain 4, 42
Sydney lose Reid, 42, 61. Gain Yippett, 59

Melbourne losing pick 4 for Dawes and Wellingham is bad enough without them throwing in picks 26 and 45 as well.

Perhaps. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I still think Dawes can be a decent forward if he was allowed to forget his rucking. Wellingham is stuck in the shadows of Swan, Beams, Sidearse, Pendles, Thomas. At Melbourne he might thrive.

Im just thinking a deal could work like this:

Adel: Lose Tippett and 2nd/ 3rd rounder. Gain Roughead
Sydney: Lose a player to hawks. Gain Tip
Hawks: Lose Roughie, Gain a player from Sydney and a draft pick

The player would have to have some currency, what sort of needs would the Hawks have, that the Swans could get rid of.

Tippett <--> Roughead is a straight swap, no need for Adelaide to be sweetening the pot. Otherwise, it's pretty much what I proposed about 10 pages ago (with Kennedy named as the Sydney player).

Let's just see how this whole situation plays out. Watch Brisbane to hold off on signing Brent Moloney until next week. Rumor of senior swans meeting board yesterday appear to have legs.

Trade month. This is going to be insane.

Adelaide lose Yippett, 59. Gain 4, 42
Sydney lose Reid, 42, 61. Gain Yippett, 59

Something like this is more likely, except Wellingham will be off to west coast. Koby Stevens and a 2ND rounder to Collingwood
The whole Tipmutt deal will end up involving multiple clubs and won't get finalised until the last day of trade period.

I love reading all the suggestions for all kinds of sexy trades....names like Roughead, GHS, Varcoe....pick 4 or 6.

But i have to keep reminding myself this is AFC. After all the huff and puff, we will get pick 22 and maybe a pick 15-20 if lucky. Then there will be the inevitable press release that whilst this may seem inadequate, the deal was holding up other deals we were working on and it was felt this was the best outcome possible in a difficult situation.

Unfortunately I have followed this club for too long. There will be no line in the sand, nor message to Kurt. There will be no PSD. Kurt knows it, blucher knows it and sydney know it.

This thing won't be done unutil late in week 3!
