    Wasn't initially - doing a bit to make up now though...

    I love this thread - it's like an old familiar friend....

      Someone mentioned on another thread that he doesn't get any recognition when he does well and is marked hard when something doesn't click. Well he hasn't had many mentions recently so he must be doing something right.
      I feel that his best will come over the next two to three years and look forward to his partnership with Callum Sinclair over that time.
      Eight weeks further on in the season and I am even more convinced that his signing was a well thought out and calculated list management decision that history will judge very positively with the benefit of hindsight

          I suspect he will be doing quite well in the Bob Skilton.
          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)

            He was terrific initially. Body let him down in 2014 but other than that, he's been excellent.

              He is immense at the moment and I suspect an absolute leader of the park too, just love his workrate and all round game. He's right up there in the most valuable player ratings.

              And he is well on his way (15 goals to date) of bagging close to 40 goals this season

                Must be in calculations for AA at this stage....He has been fabulous in every game this year...

                Including dominating Mummy, after all the talk of how Mummy was going to beat up on the Swans, then much to the commentators disappointment,

                Tippo ripped him apart....Funnily enough, there was no mention of it post game.

                    How was he so dominant in the ruck on Saturday, yet we got flogged in clearances??

                      Can sometimes happen in those conditions.

                      What was Tippett's new contract worth ?

                        Maybe the rain had something to do with it? Dunno. We should have gained more from his dominance though.

                          That's because we have Kinnear.
                          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                            8 Weeks now after surgery

                            Tippett undergoes surgery - sydneyswans.com.au

                            But because it's Kurt, I'm sticking with 6

                              That is 2 to 4 weeks before the finals.

                              6 weeks = Freo in Perth.
                              8 weeks = St K in Melbourne.

                                I reckon we wont see him again this year.
                                So many times you here someone has a 3 week injury that turns into 6 then the 6 week turns into 8 so an 8 week injury I reckon is season ending.
                                I hope I am wrong.
