    It snowed in Adelaide yesterday for the first time in over 100 years.
    That is funny....but Adelaide isn't my definition of hell...the Gold Coast is. So we are safe.

      This will really upset the Gatorade girl. We always thought she had something wrong with her eye when she was really winking at Al.

      They do really good gourmet kangaroo sausages at Hahndorf. In fact when you're not training, you can open a music boom box shop in Hahndorf and have the name changed to Hahndoof doof.

        I hear he's reluctant but may be talked around. I overheard the talk in a bar in Port Adelaide so it's definitely true.
        What, they need someone to do the Thursday night after training BBQ. Al's reputation precedes him. He won't go though; the women are better in Sydney.

          This thread is tapering off into the realms of ridiculous now. Would now be disappointed if we do not get to 100 pages and 1000 posts on this topic so thought i should add another.

          The West Australian back page headlines today have "Tippett Point" with a large photo. The Swans are the AFL talking point across the nation. Apparently there was a "positive meeting" last night.

          Crows football manager quoted "we let him go all the times he wanted to go home, we developed a team round him that's close to winning a premiership it's not funny"
          WOW.

          We have the premiership and we do not build premierships around one player. Kurt is just another cog in the TEAM. Other teams just do not get it. Long mire (i meant may) it continue.

            It's official; they are now building a premiership around Walker. Sooks.

              I bet the deal has been done and there has been an arrangement between all parties to keep things quiet until the last few days of trade so as to give trade month some relevance.

                No wonder Tippett opted for Sydney where the pressure of being a Schtarr is thinned out and balanced by the ethics of being in a Team first. He can relax somewhat here. We would expect no more of him than we do of any other player....ooohhhh think I just shot myself in the foot here. No, wait. I think I am on the right track.

                The smashup that looks like the Adelaide football club members would do my head in that's for sure. Fancy having to live in a washpool like that. Don't know much about the bloke, I assume he can play a decent game, and if that's the case well and good. Hope the salary doesn't derail team harmony. It could well do you know.

                  No. They heard this thread was approaching a world record and wanting to be a part of it put the announcement on hold until we are over the line.

                    Having visited Adelaide for work on a number of occasions I can see how supporters and players there get so fired up. In the daily newspaper there is a story every day on one of the 2 clubs and player profiles etc. On TV there is a training or club story on the nightly news. I noticed the same in Perth. It appeared to me like saturation of the 2 clubs so no wonder players get a bit ahead of themselves and supporters think that there should be a local derby weekly. A bit like the yanks thinking there is only one country on this earth.

                    Interestingly the Melbourne Herald Sun come in daily to the servo I visited and sold out quick smart.

                        Primmy, Mummy came in on a huge deal, and Reidy got a hefty 5 year contract as a teenager.If those things did nothing to unsettle the club, I wouldn't expect the contract for a damn good player like T to stir the waters. And don't forget Plugger and BBH were also BIG signings with big bucks.

                          Tippett?

                          Mummy's deal wasnt huge by industry standards. Roughly 300-400k IIRC. Much more than he was on, but not huge by any stretch of the imagination.

                              It was huge in the context of Mummys experience at the time and was based on "the potential player he may become" he was expected to play 2nd fiddle to Seaby for a couple of seasons.

                                If Big Al goes, I'm tearing up my computer driving to Hell and throwing it at the Adelaide Oval and then flushing my RWO membership and the whole lot down the toilet.....
