It is borne of frustration. Jessie White has had more chances than a hooker at a buck's party. We all wanted/want him to succeed. But ee is unable to blossom into the player he needs to be to play AFL at the top level i.e. the level of the Swans. Cruel as this may be, it is unfair on team mates to have to wear Jessie's shortcomings through a game or suffer from his ill thought decisions. Let's be frank: There are better performing players albeit not as tall playing at the State level i.e. SAFL, WA state league. Should we feel sorry for them (well, yes we should) that life made them better players but not taller?
Is Tippett training with the Swans at the moment?The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

Nope, I don't agree. It's not about what he says, but about making the club visible. Today he's on the radio talking about Izzy, while wearing his club colours, talking about GWS and getting the club's name mentioned.All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund BurkeComment

The truly clueless ones are the Sydney fans who can't wait for GWS to fall over thinking it will somehow help the Swans...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Giants say no to Tippett's terms
So glad that these 200+ pages were not in veinComment

This whole episode has annoyed and upset me as I see an injustice. Not saying Tippett has not got some responsibility but in the scale of others it ranks 4 or 5th and he copes the biggest penalty.
Seeing how this has panned out would the penalty have been the same for Tippett if he had agreed & committed to go to GWS? Being the cynic I am I probably know the answer!!!Comment

As Erica said, it's exactly what he's getting paid for, talking to the 'AFL clueless' in the hope they may wonder what all the fuss is about and have a peek at AFL in general and GWS in particular. He's doing a great job in that respect.

My first post so be kind.
Seems to me that Tippetts PR machine far exceeds what he has achieved on the ground over the past three years in Adelaide. It may have already been stated in this thread but it not then how many Brownlow votes did Tippett get in 2012, 2011 and 2009?
If my web search was correct it was 1 in 2012, 3 in 2011 and 4 in 2010. Not exactly million dollar a year stuff.Comment

And welcome to the board, nice to have you along!He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

I certainly wouldn't use Brownlow votes as evidence of anything. It is a midfielder award after all. Also the coaches/recruiters would base their decision on Tippett by using their years of experience on judging footballers and not on any PR machine.
I always tell people to watch Tippett's performance in the Prelim final and then imagine he's at club he actually wants to be at.
He's a classy KP player who is only 25. This is an investment in keeping the Swans strong in the years to come...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 think it'd be unfair and unrealistic to equate salary with Brownlow votes. Brownlow is skewed towards midfielders anyway, and unless you're Sydney Swans, midfielders don't kick that many goals.
I don't really have any qualms with acquiring Tippett, and hope that he will earn his keep over the forthcoming seasons. If not, we can bay for his blood later.Comment
