I was heartened, and surprised, to read that what the Swans have actually offered is...Either our 2nd round pick , or, Jesse White....not even both.
Thats a far cry from.... 1st round pick and Parker or Rohan or a premiership player.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

I think that Tippet will get to Sydney through PSD. If the swans deal is 1 mil per year for 4 years. He can nominate with a price tag of 1.5 mil. Do that on the min two year contract. AFL rules. Then have a back ended 500k 2year deal. He gets his 4 mil and 4 years. And moves for free.
Collingwood have salery cap space and draft picks. He would need to refuse that and jack his price to get through to us in PSDComment

Sounds to me like Swans have offered Jesse white OR our 2nd round pick (40-something). Not hard to see Adelaide holding out for more.
Since most on red and white online seem to think Jesse AND 1st round pick is acceptable, Swans have plenty of room to move.
Be great if we could keep out 1st round pick. Jesse and 2nd round for Tippett would be a great result for Swans.Comment

I don't know about MOST RWOers accept Jess plus first round..i suspect maybe Jess and 2nd.Sounds to me like Swans have offered Jesse white OR our 2nd round pick (40-something). Not hard to see Adelaide holding out for more.

I also think Adelaide is a beautiful city, and would have no qualms living there. Tippett does not want to live there - that's fine, many people have also not wanted to live in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, etc. All places have positives and negatives. The parochialism on these boards can be a bit strong at times.Comment

2nd rounder and White would be highway robbery. Our first rounder and White is still a steal and we should take it and run.Comment

1. Don't mind Adelaide at all. Great place to visit for mine (although Footy Park isn't). Not sure I'd live there though.
2. The deal that was publicised was not $1m a year. It was $3.2m over four years (maybe front loaded to $1m in the first year, though I have no knowledge of that).
3. I'd be a bit disappointed if we traded away 1st round pick without picking up one somewhere else. True some good ones come late in the draft but a hell of a lot come early. From memory (and please add to or correct me), of our premiership team, aren't the following 1st round picks. - McVeigh, Bolton, Hannebery (?), Jetta (plus Gaz). But then again, I guess that means most of the team were not first rounders (shot myself in foot on that one - Have we had any 1st round failures in the last 12 seasons? I am still expecting Lamb and Mitchell to come good).Comment
