Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[alex_is_on_fire]

Has this ever happened to any other club?

I mean, a gun key forward who will receive top dollars asking for a trade and the club only receiving something very minor?

Lockett, Hall, Judd, Jarman, all traded and their club all received equal value.

 

[Jars458]

If we take White and offload McKernan I'll literally go postal.

I'm staggered that some of you are defending the clubs actions. If we accept White and 22 for Tippett it's literally indefensible.

So you favour the PSD and nothing. Such hyeperbole.

 

[TasCrow]

M

Yeah but who?

What other club would be that stupid? apart from us I mean.

Melbourne, still interested in gumbleton (spelling) and other talls.

 

[Rave Slave]

Wow - that seems like a bloody good deal for McKernan.

22 and White for McKernan and 11 for Tippett doesn't sound so bad.

22 + 11 with no White and no outgoings sounds a whole lot better.

It shouldn't be us trading to obtain pick 11, it should be Sydney.

 

[Iva Bigun]

First Rendell.... Then Mckernan..... It can not be true... No way

And how the hell would Mckernan net us a first round pick?

Surely they will send off Tex as a sweetener,

if White and 23 for Tippett, then this is possible

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Demons? They took Dawes...perhaps lightning could strike twice.

Come off it. Please.

At least Dawes was playing AFL every week. White was playing in the magoos

 

[Rave Slave]

Sure do. Send a lesson to the entire competition, future draftees and more importantly Kurt and Blucher.

Why do you favour being spineless?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Shit ten more pages of brain explosions since I last checked in and still all based on rumor

Re Mckernan my mail mid season was that he was really homesick and regretting that he signed a contract extension

If this is true let's learn from the Yippett saga and trade him when his is contracted and has more currency otherwise next year we could be facing the sane Tippett issue

 

[tiggsy]

So you favour the PSD and nothing. Such hyeperbole.

Why do people say that it's nothing if he goes into the PSD? Do you think our reputation for hard bargaining is worth nothing? do you think Sydney will fit Tippett in as easily if they are carrying White's player payments? Do you think that Tippett can put such a high price on head that only Sydney can afford him in the PSD given the fact that Andrew Ireland has already said Sydney will be paying him less than Adelaide offered next year?

If the people negotiating these deals have a similar short sighted view of trading as you're expressing then I think that explains the constant reaming we have received and will continue to receive.

I know I'll feel different about this in a few weeks, but yesterday, for the first time ever, I wondered if there was another team that I would feel able to support.

We could always use another to add to our MASSIVE 11,000 members.

Chin up Kristof

 

[Mattrox]

So you favour the PSD and nothing. Such hyeperbole.

It's not "nothing" if Sydney pick him up they have to spend a draft pick.

If a Carlton or Collingwood or GWS pick him up then a higher draft pick is used on him and one more rookie comes down one more place.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Steven Rowe just said


"we just sold our football soul during the last contract negotiations"

 

[threefa9]

I really hope we dont trade McKernan, that kids got a lot of talent and will be a lot better than Tippett if he gets his head straight. Seriously f*** Jesse White off, would rather just pick 22, if we get him we will be doing Sydney a favour whilst adding a list clogger who will be delisted in 2 years time. If McKernan and Tippett are out for Jesse White and a couple of average picks I will be seriously pissed off

 

[SydCrow]

I know I'll feel different about this in a few weeks, but yesterday, for the first time ever, I wondered if there was another team that I would feel able to support.

Swans - come on board - Premiership team and now have the final piece in the puzzle - a power forward who isn't Jesse White

Lord help us ANOTHER homesick baby...we have a gift for picking them. Mind you as you say better now to trade if true rather than another Tippet stuffup.

 

[Realslimshady2]

Bradshaw signed off on his own trade. Not even close.

Yes but was t he being bandied around first, got pissed off and left

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Yeah but who?

Freo, they are our bunnies

After being a member since 1992 (paid for with my first ever real pay cheque) I have been thinking the same. Then I went to the club website and saw some stuff about Thommo and DMac and thought nah. Still, it is sad that the club's actions appear to be so totally against the wishes of the members and so clearly ridiculed by members of the press (eg AFL website saying Tippett was worth one top ten or 2 top twenty picks, Terry Wallace labelling the potential trade a joke).

Bingo!

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Yeah no

Keep dreaming.

 

[JP Sauce]

Every time I see "22 and White" I feel sick.

 

[SydCrow]

I sure as hell hope we have been shopping Smack - we need something out of this trade period, Smack + 22 could be worth something.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Apparently, according to Steven Rowe, there is a strong interest from Carlton who are willing to trade first round pick.

don't doubt that .....but GWS also would be offering even more

But what's the use if Adelaide won't flex its muscle

 

[slice]

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

 

[rayven]

This is getting ugly..
