    First step for Hawthorn to being a legitimate premiership contender is to stop thinking of themselves as a victim, and blaming others.

    Man up , and man up hawks.

      Perhaps we don't need Tippett to beat Hawthorn again, we can just play smalls and have them crumb at Lake's feet- he'll try to mark everything and we can rely on Gibson to spoil him.
      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

          How they can fit ...Cyril... etc. into their salary cap is beyond belief.
          I hear the Hawks are going get there by trading Cyril for a tortoise. Lowers salary bill and improves their chance of catching Lewis Jetta.

            Born & bred in Adelaide but would never live there sorta like Parramatta on steroids. The ferry ride to parra is better than the Popeye boats on the river? torrens, beaches with no surf blah blah no brainer for tippet on lifestyle choice.

              Im fed up with outsiders giving our club stick for going for Tippett. If it was a melbourne said their would be no dramas. It's not as if we have tried to poach him away from adelaide or gotten in his ear. He simply has not wanted to renew his contract with that dump called adelaide and wants to move on. Rightfully we have pounced.

                  Tippett?

                  The thing a lot of the media seem to be missing is, we don't " need" Tippett. He would be fantastic to have in the side, and the club have shown they certainly want him, but at the end of the day we are not going to kill ourselves to get the deal done. We are the reigning premiers. Our forward line is an issue, but with the main target up there being a 20 year old, it is only going to be better next year anyway. If it was good enough to win a flag, it is not that terrible. If we can't get Tippett for what we think is reasonable, then so be it.

                      Is this a guess? Or is there some substance. If a guess I'd say there's more chance of Kennedy wanting to head "home" when he's out of contract next year.

                        total guess

                        and in alignment with the position that Tippett can cover if it came to the crunch !

                        Mummy will be on way more then $250k pa when his 4 yr contract finishes in 2013

                          did anyone see this from Ireland !


                          Tippett has agreed to a four-year contract offer to joins the Swans, who began negotiating a deal with the Crows on Monday morning, as the AFL's trade period officially opened.
                          Both clubs were coy about what the Swans needed to put on the table, although Ireland said no premiership players would be given up, which suggests Sydney's top draft pick,

                          No.22 overall, will need to be part of a deal.

                          But Ireland refused to commit to offering that pick.

                              So says the SMH. The latest from the Swans website, on the other hand:

                              The Swans' chief executive is hopeful of not involving any premiership players in any deal to get Tippett to Sydney, but didn't rule it out.

                                its great no one wants to leave the Bloods !

                                makes it even more difficult for the Crows......unless they keep pushing more picks in exchange for one of our players going to another club ie White to GC or Brisbane ?
