Tippett?
Seriously doubt he would have been part of the premiership teamComment
-
Yep, he wanted to go to the Dogs because they looked a better team going forward. Just rewards for a bloke he may not have passed our "No dickheads" policy anyway.
Doesn't compare however to the all time greatest idiot move, that goes to Buckley. Only played one season at Brisbane then went to Collingwood because he wanted to play finals. Then ends up playing two losing grannies against Brisbane and never became a Premiership player but could have had three with Brisbane. Justice well served out there I reckon! O'Bree made the same move for the same failure.Comment

Carlton official talking on SEN this evening was asked about taking Tippett. Said he wouldn't fit into their cap, but said he'd be gone well before Carlton had a pick in the draft. Ominous when their pick is way before ours!Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

Hard to disagree with Malthouse.
"He wouldn't be worth that ($1 million),'' Malthouse said. "If he's worth half of that I think that's about the right amount of money."The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment
-
Surely the $1M figure, which has been thrown around liberally for a while now, was always an over-estimation??? Now the dodgy dealings are coming out, plus the risk of deregistration, so his price on the market must be plummeting. I tend to agree with Malthouse too shock horror....Comment

Adelaide have inflated his market value by paying him such a high salary in his last contract and offering him $800k to stay. So now that's his starting point for negotiations. That's just the way it seems to go. If some employer is paying you so much, it will cost the next employer even more to him to change company.Comment

Honestly I'm at the stage (read: over the drama) where I'm nonplussed about whether we get him or not. Correct me if I'm wrong but both Buddy and Jack Riewoldt are coming out of contract next year and maybe we'll be better served redirecting our energy towards other targets like them.
At the end of 2010 I didn't think someone like BJ would leave the Saints when he seemed so passionate about playing with them. Things can change and we may have a better option than Tippett fall into our lap. Maybe if the Tiges keep failing or if Hawthorn don't breakthrough for a premiership those players might be open to a change.
We should hold firm on our initial offer and if GWS matches it and picks him up so be it. We'll move on with out premiership winning team.

Agreed too much garbage now with the Tippett deal, but the two you mention, even if available, both invoke the no dickhead policy.Honestly I'm at the stage (read: over the drama) where I'm nonplussed about whether we get him or not.

Maybe, but forwards, good ones at least, have a bit of ego about them. They demand the ball and back themselves to kick a winning score or take a crucial shot for example. Our no dickheads policy has always had exceptions and those exceptions won us a premiership in 2005 as far as i'm concerned.
As long as their not a convicted felon or something and give their all for the team I don't really care what their character is like to be perfectly honest. I actually quite like Jack. Has a personality and doesn't let the media guys smother him from speaking his own mind - I wish more players at our club were forthright. You can't question his passion or competitiveness either. If he was available I would take him in a millisecond.Comment

If rumours re Folau going back to NRL are right, and we'll know at 4pm, GWS will have a BUNCH of money...there goes Tippett if he isnt deregistered. Sheeds already said he was interested.Comment
-
I'm not sure we could have held off GWS anyway regardless of Folau. If they want Tippett they will get him but still not sure he is the right move for them given their very young list and the steep rise in those original players contracts from next year.
If we don't get Tippett we'll be very dangerous at trade time next year as a cashed up and desirable destination club.
Looks like Adelaide and Freo will be cashed up but don't think they are as desirable as a destination as us.
I think we stick with original terms offered and if we are outbid/out picked then so be it. You can't let the Tippett recruitment dictate your whole list management stategy. I'm sure that will be our stance.Comment

- 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.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
