Tippett!!

[Ludwig]

Niall's wrong, free agency period is over.

My understanding is that a player delisted between the end of trade period and 31 Oct. goes into a 2nd free agency period during early November.

[R-1]

Nope, he's correct. There is a secondary free agency period for delisted players that runs from November 1st till November 13.

AFL free agency: how it works

I stand corrected!

DirtyKurt???

If I read that . . . . "It is alleged that the son of a Gold Coast property developer has been involved in undisclosed payments"?
I would assume I was looking at the Gold Coast Bulletin's front page exposee of some recently discovered council corruption scandal.
Unfortunately it isn't.
It's the back page of the Age, the Herald-Dung, The Advertiser etc. etc.

While I could understand the desire to include a get-out-of-Adelaide, the whole hidden payments thing must surely raise serious questions about this young man's character (in addition to his availability in 2013).

I'm not sure about the rest of you but I REALLY hope the Swans are at least re-examining their decision to recruit Tippett.

[Jeffers1984]

I stand corrected!

don't worry man, this whole free agency thing is confusing! unrestricted, restricted etc. etc. etc.!

Latest from Swans website. "Increasingly likely to be left in football limbo." Allegedly.

Yes, I'm starting to think the same way. I'm sure they know more about him than we do, but this whole mess must surely raise some serious questions.

I am with you two. If Mitch took all that long to gain the players trust, just how long would it take for KT to do so given his and his minders track record for acceptable 'ethics'.

And if Mocca gets the dag end of the deal I will be really and truly pissed off at the club. Not only that, it means that our happygolucky really good bloke goes to Adelaide.....and he didn't want to in the first place. I am starting to grumble and rumble.

I'd say we are out of there. And that's OK by me.

Keep Jesse though now, for mine but try and get something for Heath and TDL today. Maybe picks in the 30-50 range or pull another Swans miracle with a recycled player.

[Jeffers1984]

Apparently both Crows and Swans parties are present at the final day of trade so it could still well be on.

AFL has ok'ed Adelaide to trade Tippett. Jesse white in Adelaide. I have a feeling the deal might be on.

[DeadlyAkkuret]
