Good call Meg. He was a gun. An ordinary players dont get 459 pages of RWO discussion.

I may as well contribute to this thread for the last time.
Very sad to see Tippett go. He was a gun and at his best could tear the opposition to pieces. Will never forget the Adam Goodes "tribute" game against Adelaide. Apart from the outpouring of emotion offered to Goodesy that night, Tippett's game was outstanding. Tore Adelaide apart.
His 2016 season, up until he got injured had him in line for all Australian selection. Prior to round 12, when he got injured against GWS he took all before him as our number 1 ruckman. A real pity his body wouldn't stand up to the stresses of AFL football.Comment

I recall him playing some great games for us but also some shockers. I know he had a shocker along with some others in one of our Grand Finals. I seem to remember reading that Grundy gave him a bake after the game for not contributing that day.

I don't know much about netball, but I learned a lot from this article. Apparently Gretel is a "polarising figure", gets accused of being too physical, is a great shot for goal and even Toby Greene gets a mention!
I figured that was worth a post to the thread

I was just meandering though youtube and came across this.....and may I say to all the hindsight heroes who bemoan Tipp's recruitment, this is why we recruited him and the evidence in this package is compelling.....and as such, his recruitment was a masterstroke at the time. View it and weep at what we didn't get consistently enough....
At his best, he was unstoppable....a beast. Unfortunately, his best was with Adelaide....

NB: It should be titled 'Kurt Tippet Crows career highlights'......there's nothing of him as a Swan. It's sort of SwansTV's 'welcome to the Swans KT' package, after he first arrived.Last edited by stevoswan; 2 June 2019, 12:55 AM.Comment

He did nothing for us like he did at Adelaide.
To think my biggest concern was his propensity for concussions... ugh.
I don't think he had one concussion while he was here. Pity the rest of his plastic body fell apart.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment
