Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I find the love for 'The Log' infuriating. He is a grossly over-paid player who IMO simply doesn't deliver as a forward. He is average as a ruckman. Even when you combine both roles, you still don't get a winner. I don't care how nice he is, I would trade him in a flash."Play like you can’t lose."Comment

Of course we are all entitled to our opinions. Mine is that Kurt's an above average ruckman without being elite. He's above average as a forward (pretty good hands, ok on the ground, strong, a good set shot - since he's been with us). Tippett is also potentially important to our structure, as he frees up attention on Buddy & Sammy. Tippett's size & potential output demands that he is assigned a tall defender when he is forward. Hopefully Naismith or Cameron will shoulder the ruck workload and free Kurt to dominate as a strong, relatively agile, deep tall forward this year. If Reid has an injury free season, having a 196cm strong marking 3rd tall forward (when they also want to double team Tippett and Buddy), will be a headache of migraine proportions for most defences. Tippett's great flaw IMO is he is below average injury wise. Spends too much time in the medical room.Comment

Tippett!!
Word is he is on $800k per annum. A lot for a guy who is not in our best 6 players. He adds a lot to our structure but does not deliver on that kind of money. Furthermore while he has played some excellent games for us at times he does miss a lot of games and has played poorly in both grand finals. Despite what I've just said we are stuck with him till contract end as no one else will pay him that type of money. Hopefully he will prove us all wrong and deliver a career best season. I would love to see that.

As many others have mentioned, he is really good when given a injury free run. It is just that those injuries occur too often."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

There is a problem with playing 3 talls forward...it's no coincidence the effective forward line fielded last year given Reid's absence. Not bagging Reid, just the structure.
Naismith is a better ruckman, Franklin and Reid are better forwards.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment
