    Totally agree. Seems fun, funny, affable. And a boy next door, approachable good looking as well! Get him advertising pies!!!

      Seriously though it does smack of sensationalism and for mine has no journalistic merit. Imagine my shock that it's in a News Limited publication.
      Hey are you the fella that refuses to purchase a News Corp publication? Let's make a gang lol

        God what an awful Today Tonight style article!


        The deal guarantees Tippett a cool $72,700 a game - more than $2000 better than the average Aussie's yearly income.

        Trying to make people choke into their cornflakes as Aussie Battlers struggle to make ends meet - I'm pretty sure major professional football players are going to earn that money no matter what is happening in Main Street Australia. Such a ridiculous article. I don't understand how people can digest that crap.
        Ridiculous. It's not like he's even the highest paid player in the AFL either. Did they post Ablett's salary? Or Tom Scully's?

          Anyway, I for one welcome our new full forward. I'm glad the Swans got the deal done and I think he'll make a huge difference to our forward line, as it will actually help give us one.

            He said all the right things....trust, respect and play his role. Obviously well coached already.

              Well, maybe Annie and about a million people in Adelaide, but apart from them?

                    I wonder if it would be worth an appeal as Kurt's offence was committed by having underhanded payments were in fact a couple of years ago. When they occurred.

                    Shouldn't the rules that applied at the time be used for the suspension for 2008.... You shouldn't have to pay it forward IMO. My understanding is that any suspended players missed the NAB cup games as part of their suspension in 2008..

                    Not his fault that the league took till 2012 to suspend him!

                    Therefore he misses the preseason cup and returns to play in round 8. (Well it is a good idea in my mind anyway...)

                    Except that his ban specified that he would miss the whole of NAB Cup, and 22 H&A games, with 11 suspended. Don't know the rules re reserves but all comments I've seen seem to be sure that also means he can't play reserves.

                      On SEN just then, Glen Luff from Champion Data who does the AFL Fantasy Football Comp, gave a run down on all the sides for 2013 and how they rate them. He said we had everything covered in 2012. We were able to score when required and defend like hell when under the pump. The one weakness was up forward and what do they do; get Tippett. He said don't worry, Tippett will be a STAR.

                        That's Kurt Tippett
                        It's dragged on and on and on
                        But we got Tippett

                              I need the next bit. How about:-

                              Get Tippett
                              Into shape
                              Take a mark
                              Kick straight
                              Full forward
                              Watch your head!
                              He's signed a contract
                              He's now a Swan
                              Kurt Tippett
                              Tippett's good

                              (with all due apologies to Devo)
