Tippett!!

[Markwebbos]

strong rumours there was an altercation with Tippet and some players...and he is being heavily linked to Fremantle with freo paying 2/3's his salary..
however what player should we expect for him or pick or combo cant just give him away for free...

Where are these rumours coming from? Who would we get to replace him? Or would we play N&N plus Reid alongside Buddy? Need some backup

If that means keeping Mitchell, I'd do it

If that means keeping Mitchell, I'd do it

If it meant Tippet & Mitchell to Freo, & Fyfe to us, I'd do it.

In a heartbeat.

[Levii3]

If Tippett goes to freo trade for Lachie Weller.

Altercation? Was Tippett at the Mad Monday commiserations?

So the big play is Tippett and Mitchell for Fyfe, that's what we've been keeping quiet, hmmmmm

[Meg]

Altercation? Was Tippett at the Mad Monday commiserations?

Yes he was, sitting in the midst of the players, just hours after the alleged confrontation. But then elsewhere the rumour is the fight was with Buddy - who also turned up to the Mad Monday frivolities.

Treat it all as the nasty part of the silly season.

Article seemed to also imply Rohan but it was definitely clutching at straws

Sounds about as reliable as the report that all the senior players were pissed with Buddy at the start of the 2014 season because he was arrogant, unfriendly and on a big pay packet.

Don't believe that all senior players got pissed.
There's always some party-poopers at a footy club.

Whatever the truth of that rumour, Kurt's form on return from injury was poor and very disappointing. His performance over the second half of last year and until his injury this year was excellent. I'm interested in why his form was so poor on return. Was he still hampered? Did he lose confidence? Was he unfit?

[707]

Major hammie, missed a big chunk of footy, lost a bit of fitness, just didn't get right up to speed.

Before he was injured was in AA form. Coaches will work out exact role next year given that Naismith has blossomed into a seriously good tap ruckman.

Major hammie, missed a big chunk of footy, lost a bit of fitness, just didn't get right up to speed.

And then in just his third match back after hamstring injury and surgery, he got kicked in the head cracking his jaw, then later in the same match had his head slam-dunked into the ground by a sling tackle. So then he missed another week.

He really didn't get a chance to be right up for the speed at which the grand final was played.

[goswannies]

Given Tippett's predilection for head injuries (innocuous or inflicted) should he consider permanently wearing a helmet?

[Hotpotato]

Definitely, I reckon they should all wear head gear , they take a lot of hits .
