The later this goes, the less AFGM could be wrong.

He never said anything like that. He said Beatson was looking forward to doing well at the draft and Wallace started chortling after assuming it meant that no picks would be traded at all.

They're probably right.

It's one of the reasons they're throwing so much money at Tippett I reckon. Means they're the only horse in the race so will be able to get him cheap. Hence the dud offer.

It's not Sydney getting him for nothing. Its them getting the return for giving him such a huge salary. They've paid for the right to screw us.

Doesn't help us any but Sydney aren't obliged to up their offer just because we don't think it's fair. They only need to give up what it will cost them to get him, nothing more.

Wallace started chortling because he knew how well Sydney do in the draft! :rolleyes: Have a look at Wallace's pictures on his twitter account. Sydney has the lowest success rate in converting draft picks into 5+ year players.
 
We wont know until the week is over but........Sydney have presented themselves as tough, protective and uncompromising. The very qualities that underpin 'culture'. Quite praiseworthy when considering they are the club seeking to recruit (read swindle) for the said Mr Tippett. Even if it all changes on Friday, the original statements by Ireland 2 weeks or so ago, casting in stone that no premiership player or even any father/son Sprigger will ever be traded by the all pervading 'blood' culture, will be left resonating as the remembered voicings and stance of the Swans. Quite clever. Do words speak louder than actions??? Unfortunately for the Crows we have been on the back foot from the first day and the weakness of our position is palpable. We have let the trade value of Tippett dissolve away to the point that in 2012 we have one of the highest paid footballers who, together with the club of his choice are now 'calling the tune'. AFC are the current 'owners' of the assett named Tippett and yet we are now placed in a scenario where we are far from the 'position of power'. I'm sure there are better analogies but it is kinda like having your car repossessed and it hurts.

I don't like it but grudgingly I have to say that (I know the week is yet to pan out and strange things could still happen) Sydney have so far strengthened the perception of their 'culture'. What can AFC do? Have we miscalculated in our previous years of sucking to the retention of Tippett? What can we do from all of this to promote any positives re the AFC 'culture'? Do we cry foul and paint Tippett, Barouche(?) et al as the villians? Or, after the dust has settled do we use the defecation (sorry defection) as a key to more hard nosed list management processes and the key to a strong ruthless on field performance - particularly against the Swans!
Anyway it is still in the mixing pot and I have faith in Noble....the Tippett inheritance is not of his doing.

However it comes out I want the AFC to come forth with strong enduring publicity statements that help to picture the Club as strong, purposeful, united and uncompromising and if need be, PIXXED OFF, rather than a closed ranks, lets keep it in house approach.

Sydney has a couple of 19-year-old key defenders on their list (Jordan Lockyer & Alex Brown). I'm surprised their names haven't been mentioned more in terms of getting this freakin' Tippett trade over the line. Can Swans fans enlighten us on their respective abilities?

Were they at the MCG on Grand Final day, or even watch the match on TV? If so, off limits.
 
Collingwood board lighting up with talk the Reid move is still on for their 17 and 18.

Where possible I quote the rules.. For example, in this case, para 4.5.2 of the AFL Player Rules document - which says that Sydney are actually screwing themselves if Tippett goes in to the PSD and they try to backload his contract.

Stats and Rules are definately your niche.

Agreed. And 17 - 18 is no huge improvement for us either. Better, but not dance in the street better

Maybe they are offering 17 or 18 to Sydney for Parker? Would they have a need for him? Then 17/18 and 23 for KT. Would that be acceptable?

They seem to be saying 17/19 for Reid. Clearly thats better that 23 and White.

Anyway i posted that info for no other reason than to refer people to a discussion which may affect us. Some on the Collingwood board are buying it but some arent. Its just one of a pile of rumours doing the rounds

Would this work

Adelaide lose Tppett, 21, McKernan
Adelaide Gain pick 11, 23, 36,56
Sydney lose Parker, 23
Sydney Gain Tippett
Carlton lose 11,36,56
Carlton gain parker, McKernan 21

So we get 11 for Tippett (unders) and on top of that give up our first rounder AND Mckernan for a couple of shitty nothing picks we wont even use?

No way would Sydney do Reid for 17 and 18. He's contracted :rolleyes: but seriously, it would never happen.

The rumour is based on Sam Reid being seen at the Westpac Centre. It kind of fell apart when someone pointed out he's currently overseas..

Was listening to an interview on SEN on the way home tonight with the head of the aflpa.

He was saying that players who are delisted will be treated as free agents and can go where they like.

I think the timing of things is important.

Correct. Players delisted by List Lodgement 1 have their own Free Agency period, prior to the closing of nominations for the ND. I think it's safe to say that their clubs won't be compensated should they be signed by a new club.

Tippett won't be delisted until List Lodgement 2, which is after he's nominated for the ND (assuming he chooses to do so).
