The Tippett situation is becoming quite interesting. The Adelaide media and the Crows have absolutely turned on him, pretty much running him out of town. Seems the media in particular took it very personally that one of the reasons he wanted to leave was his dislike of Adelaide, which while it comes as no surprise to anyone living outside that city apparently was met with disbelief by the locals. Wasn't welcome at the Crows B&F etc had to say goodbye to his team mates with a text message.
Regardless of whether he deserves such treatment or not, he has such a firm grip on the whip hand in this saga that I would have been a bit nicer to him if I was them. If he wants to go to the Suns he is garanteed to get to them in the PSD and Crows would get squat, while if he wants to take the money from the Swans (and the Suns wont match it) the Crows will have to take whatever Sydney offers because it is the only chance they will have to recoup something. Swans are laughing, Kurt is laughing, Adelaide is fuming.
Love it!
EDIT: Just read that GWS can indeed take him in the PSD, which changes everything, and Crows will play hard ball apparently. Still, only so much you can do when a player wants out, as with Jacobs when they had the whip hand. Hope they get a good shafting.
