LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

yeah just heard the tippet to swans rumour.....interesting....do we need him, big bodied FF...Reid will be that mobile CHF..
the ? is does tippet work hard enough...can tommy walsh make the grade as a dominate FF...it is probably the one area we lack i reckon...but as long as we dont make them a continual target into our forward line. our strength is our spreAD OF GOAL KICKERS PER GAME...Comment

Hmmm.
Recently crowned premiers the Sydney Swans shape as a potential destination for Tippett.
"The Gold Coast Suns thought they were home but we believe there is interest from the Sydney Swans and another club that could make this much like Mitch Clark last year," Hutchinson said.
The Swans "approached [Tippett's] management sometime before the Grand Final", according to Barrett.Comment

Yeah I agree, lets just soak up the unbelievable achievement this year and in a few weeks start thinking about next year. I was quite surprised to hear that the trade period starts today, wouldn't the AFL at least give it a week so everyone, especially swans fans
, can take a breather?

Where to from here, looking ahead.
It would be really sad to see Reg go after winning a flag with us. Particularly for a player who is inconsistent and would only come to our club for money ( which I find surprising that we would have the money to pay him more than Brissy or GC, and if we did then I would be equally surprised we would be willing to pay him that much). It just doesn't seem to fit in with our philosophy and culture. Surely Reg wouldn't want to leave, if he did than that would be a different story.Comment

I'd imagine TDL, Seaby and Moore will go.
Also this Tippet for Reg deal seems suss. I don't know how we can afford him and keep our other star players.Comment

I would be happy with this deal. Grundy is our best trade option. There are lots of teams that need a key defender. I went off the Grundy bandwagon quite some time ago - there have been many games where I actually thought he was a liability.
I doubt Adelaide would be happy for a straight swap, but even if that falls through I hope the Swans test the market to see if a Grundy trade would yield some benefit to our 2013 team.Comment

Re: Where to from here, looking ahead.
Would love Tippett at the club. Would make the Premiers (don't you just love saying that) even stronger. We would have to offer something reasonable to make it happen and while you don't like to move premiership players on you still need to be constantly planning for the future...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

I don't see how we could afford Tippett, and I'm not sure we have enough in the way of key defenders to let Grundy go. Didn't Tippett want to leave at least partly for family reasons?Comment

Some wag on BF made the point that "Mr.multiple concussions Tippett"
probably wouldn't survive the year with the "Bloods Culture."

what about Moloney....the only reason i suggest him is all dependant on what Jude does...if Jude decides go out on a high and with our window open for a few more years and hard bodied inside player as a replacemnt for jude to go through this same period...
i dont know enough about him..but throwing it out there...Comment

I doubt if it would happen, but a Tippett for Grundy trade would be perfect for us. We would go from a weak to a powerful forward line overnight. I like Grundy, but we can easily cover him. LRT goes back and we are fine for another 3 years. We have Spangher as a KPP backup, and up and coming tall defenders in Lockyer, Brown and Lynch. So we would have all the bases covered and not have to worry about trying to draft another key forward. Also would allow us to trade White. I think we could get a reasonably good draft pick for him (or trade up).
We can trade or delist White, TDL, Meredith, Moore, Seaby and Lamb and use the draft to build even a stronger team for the long term.Comment

RE: Tippett
The kind of money being talked about is crazy. 800 - 850k a year. I think that's more than Cloke's getting. Can't see how anything close to that would fit in with the Swans.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
