Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Tippett ruled out for prelim final - just announced by Swans.

Will be back if they make the GF according to some of the media

Seasons over then.

Funny how 3 near identical bump incidents results in 2 x 1 game suspensions and the 3rd. gets off. Wonder who the 3rd. plays for? ****in joke.

Sydney has a better chance of winning now without Kurt because they cannot keep on bombing it in to him and will need to rely on their other players. The Swans exploded last week, esp in that 3rd quarter.

Karmas a sweet thang

All jokes aside, there was some serious discussion earlier in the week in the media (forget where), which severely questioned his value and contribution to the Swans - and they felt the Swans were better off without him. Maybe they read BF.

Not sure about that, one of the stations showed a graphic, where it made no difference, they'd won and lost the same amount, there scores were nearly identical with and without him.

Froggy precisely! Having a slow night are we?

No there's a difference between being better off without him and it not mattering whether or not he plays (other than the money factor)

No there's a difference between being better off without him and it not mattering whether or not he plays (other than the money factor). Your implying that people say they win more without him than they loose, im saying they win the same amount with or without him, sure your not having the slow night

 

[Skippy231]

For one thing their forward line is much less predictable without him.

Hard to say he adds much if the effect with or without him is neutral?

That is true, but I'm not trying to say he adds much, I'm saying he adds nothing which is different to hindering them

Adding nothing on field while consuming a vast amount of the salary cap as their highest paid player sounds like a pretty big hinderance to me

Which is where I point you to this post

Gaining Tippett for free in the PSD and being able to pay him in COLA has not hindered Sydney from gaining or retaining any other player. They even kept White as backup and will benefit come the prelim.

 

[beartoo]

Sydney is a better side without him as are we.

We made a prelim last year.

We'll see over the next couple of years

They haven't even been through one off season yet

 

[cmndstab]

Of course paying Tippett a million dollars is a hindrance. It's not as though that money was just going to disappear if they didn't spent it on him. They could have spent it elsewhere, or frontended a contract, or whatever.

I'm not at all convinced that he's added nothing to their side, though.

 

[Tex200]

He beat up on some lower sides which got the chubbies going in Sydney.

Was rubbish against Geelong, has a rest to avoid Hawks, then rubbish against Hawks, then another spell against Carlton.

The only player I could see Sydney missing out on is Franklin. Sydney had a lot of spare cash given recent retirements.

I don't accept this

Every team has retirements

Players at the end of their careers are earning a lot less than in their primes

A friend sent this to me the other day, I never saw it. Funny stuff, sorry if its been posted, but there is over 1200 pages here lol. It was almost a year ago when this saga began.

"we're screwed for 2013" - that was a bit prophetic.

Would love to see the disappointment on Tippetts face as his team loses another prelim.
