Tippett!!

Can I delete this thread yet??

I think I have put 4 of my 15 posts on this thread. That's 27% of my posting history. You can't possibly delete it for this reason alone!!

Please don't. I see it as a memorial, sort of a summary of all that we are about. I think it is hilarious that after 163 pages (and counting) it comes to zero!

It's been like a really long Seinfeld episode....

But interesting just to gauge what people felt about the whole thing along the way. I was initially against it as I didn't want to lose any decent players. Then I was for it when it was Jesse plus a draft pick. Then I was against it when it turned really smelly. I don't mind either way what happens in the PSD now...

I cant see Tippett being deregistered.

If he'd got traded, the AFL may have a case, but because he wasnt traded, his contract wasnt exercised.

Adelaide footy club might be in a bit of poo for hiding contracts, and paying outside the cap.

As long as we get to 2000 posts.

I really hope the club comes out and makes a comment. As always we've stayed silent, but they owe us fans something don't they?

I don't think the club owe us anything. 2 Premierships in 8 years is way above what I ever expected.

Agree! Total faith in our current recruiting staff!

White + 1st round

Post #3 : I said 'spot on, good call'. It was looking good at the time.

White has proved himself as a capable ruckman in the reserves and with Seaby most definitely leaving I think we'd keep White as our back up ruckman with LRT in case there's any injuries [Mumford always seems to have a few niggles]

Post #4: Now I agree with this!

Swans say "Nothing has changed". According to Sam Edmund on twitter. Looks like we're still pretty keen.

To me it seems pretty obvious that we conceded today Tippett was going to the draft. We've duly made salary cap space by offloading fringe players, thus allowing us to frontload his contract enough to outprice rival teams.

Yep.... we're keen alright

I think it's good news.
Front load that contract!

Maybe Adelaide will want to see the last of him as soon as possible and delist him next week (getting nothing for him anyway) Then he will be an unrestricted free agent and just walk to us. (Of course if he's de-registered he can't do anything!) Of course Adelaide won't do this as they want their pound of flesh and will want him to sweat it out in the draft!

[Ludwig]

Oh No! It looks like I'm going to wrong yet again. How many times am I allowed to change my mind in one thread?

[Lucky Knickers]

Happy to hear we remain committed to getting Tippett AND we saved Jesse from going to that club full of classless, cultureless arse clowns. I hate to think of what he would have faced from the rabid fans and media in SA.

Club statement: We're not giving up on Tippett.

"We will fight on Gleneg beach. We will fight in the Barossa. We will never surrender, etc."
