You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler -

Agree with Dawes thread. Perhaps we could get 2 for just a little more than for Tippett. Just heard that Pies have told Dawes and Wellingham and Melbv that they can have them both for pick 4 in draft. I know what I would tell Buckley and pies if I was them.Comment

Umm, i doubt the club is thinking of getting rid of one half of the best one-two defence combo in the league. Speculation over.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Tippett?
Grundy is only 26, and I don't doubt he has at least one AA season in him. Stiff to miss the squad this year IMO.Comment

Quoted from an article today:
Longmire conceded Sydney could lose players who sought more opportunities at another club.
"We'll look at that over the next couple of days and clearly that's OK, I think in the end we're all big enough to look at the bigger picture,'' Longmire said.
"Some players may (leave) and some players may not, we're not sure at the moment.''
IMO we must be neck deep in the Tippett negotiations. We are generally fair traders to so if we do make the deal we're going to have to sacrifice a fair bit. I'm worried - I just want this whole thing to be over and for all 22 of our premiership players to stick together. Reg is going to be invaluable in a few seasons when we loose Ted, LRT, Marty, Rhyce ect.
This is a little stressful tbh!Comment

I would much prefer to hear some rumors linking us to Gumbleton. I know he has had a lot of injuries, but the suggestion is they've got his back problems fixed, and I think other than the back related stuff his only real injury in the last couple of years was a punctured lung which could happen to anyone. Tippett played 21 games for 39 goals this year, which is good, but based on that he's not the next Plugger by any stretch of the imagination. Gumbleton played 6 games for 11 goals in a losing side, that's the same goals per game, he's younger than Tippett, probably worth a lot less in a trade, and I bet he wouldn't cost us 10% of our total salary cap either.Comment

Tippett?
I know it's all about supply and demand, particularly with key forwards, but anything over 600k for Tippet is overs realistically and anything over 700k is just horrendous overs. 1 million? FORGET IT!!! He's not Tom Hawkins , he's not Travis Cloke, he's not Jack Riewoldt and he's not Tex Walker. Any of those I would be happy if we lured over for whatever money ( I am aware they aren't available, but for arguments sake) , but Tippet? Nup.Comment

could we corner tippett and Adelaide and GC via:
A) creating tension via offering GC Suns Jessie White to go back to GC because we are prepared to pay more for Tippett then they are but atleast they still get a big bodied forward/2nd ruck ?
or
B) Adelaide will trade with us for the fear Tippett will go to the draft for nothing !
Lets face it:
we need an extra key forward target as we are a team that should be going for broke to win back to back 2012/13 given our list.
i) we have the juniors coming thru..........we have Morton going to another level, Lambie ready come 2013 hopefully, Mitchell, Parker and plenty of others and key experienced players on the way out of their strong careers
ii) Goodes showed this season that he is now at a stage of his career when vulnerable to injuries but even more so it was very difficult to recover from his injury and then he suffered a PCL in the final on top !"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Tippett really doesn't offer us much as that second ruckman because we have that pretty well filled with Pyke and LRT, so I would say his value would be his ability as a key forward, and to put it into perpective, this year his season as a key forward was comparable to Taylor Walker in 2010. In 2010 nobody cared about Walker, certainly no one would have offered him $1mil a year.Comment

or maybe we are after an aggressive fast solid kick back to be converted into a key forward

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
