agree......all Tippett at 22yrs of age wanted was a way to leave adelaide
obviously there was no way of leaving back in 2009 and every other season AFC said no you cant leave
so he bunkered down and said i will see out the contract till 2012 as long as you ensure I can move on......seems like a win win to me at 22yrs of age !"be tough, only when it gets tough"

It is going to be interesting to see hoe Crowgate plays out. I don't think they can blame TippetYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby ZieglerComment

'We sold our soul' on Tippett deal: ReidNothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

It's been a dogs breakfast for sure, but why are people saying 'Let's walk away now' or 'I hope we can get out of this contract' etc?
All of this doesn't change the fact that Tippett is a very good get and my position hasn't changed just because Adelaide have done some dodgy contract negotiations a few years ago, which ironically were in no small way devised because Tippett IS a very good get that they desperately didn't want to lose.
There is NO WAY the AFL will let the trade happen and THEN sanction Tippett by way of deregistration etc. If Tippett lands at the Swans, he will be allowed to play.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Agree with TB, why back out now just because the Crows @@@@@@ up 3 years ago. Tippett could well be the "missing piece" we need to go back-to-back. I understand we won it this year without him, but we'll be even better with him.Comment

with you Triple. Crows should not get the blame for Crow's incompetence. Going back to the similar Buckley situation Collingwood just lapped it up
I think it will happen and Adelaide will trade him. Otherwise I am sure lawyers will get involved, and they will need to pay him massive $$$$$$

If we don't get Tippett now, Adelaide have knowingly wasted our entire trade period. Will we be compensated? Fat chance.Comment

True but I wouldn't think we were going to be particularly active otherwise, apart from maybe looking to trade TDL/Jesse for draft picks - doesn't seem like there were any other key forwards we had our eyes on, and that's been our only pressing need by the looks of it.
Maybe it's just me and maybe I get too sensitive about such things but I am concerned that some will view the Swans as having some part in this mess. That plus the COL allowance rubbish that surfaced at the start of all this. From an image perspective we haven't come out of this untarnished in the views of some. As I said maybe its just me but I hope no mud sticks in this - and there's plenty of mud being flung at the moment.......Comment

You know what is particularly galling is the melbourne press led by it seems Quayle and Wilson somehow equating our first round pick and a fringe player from the grand final as a cheap trade that somehow falls into line with that agreement.
The agreement seemingly was for a second round pick alone , not a first round pick and a player. I dont see how this is much undervalue.
It makes me laugh how a fringe player from our premiership team is considered a relative dud (and Im not saying Jesse is a gun, but geez in another team he could very well be a valuable acquisition.), yet other clubs trade fringe players as if they diamonds.Comment

'We sold our soul' on Tippett deal: Reid
I have previously considered Caroline to be an excellent football journalist especially when it comes to the backroom stuff (although her appreciation of the actual game is mediocre).
But frankly her article is so biased in favour of the Crow's one would almost suspect it was written by that journalistic embarrassment, Michelangelo Rucci.
From the tenor of her comments one would suggest that Tippett senior and the kids manager forced the Crows to sign the deal at gunpoint.
The poor Crows were under so much pressure in Adelaide, how could they refuse the naughty Tippett's demands. I haven't seen such a threadbare excuse since Shane Warne blamed his mum for taking a banned substance.
She suggests we're guilty of draft tampering, and only a lack of evidence will save us. That Andrew Ireland has a history of dodgy dealing and that the story only broke because we were trying to gouge the Crows (a claim much at odds with our history of fair-trading, and dependent on an a massive over-rating of the player).
Why she has fallen in line with the dominant anti-Swan mindset of the Victorian media and clubs I can't understand, but she has lost credibility in my eyes.
Lastly can someone please tell me wtf she means by "Sydney . . . . is in reality owned by the AFL?Comment

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.

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.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.

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.

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.
