Or keep tippett and be in medicocityville? Tippett was fantastic in the first half of the year and everyone's a fan when fit. He hadn't played enough to impact in the finals and has consistently struggled to stay fit. If I had to choose between him and Tom Mitchell, I'd take Mitchell for sure.

I know its a bit off topic, but here comes the war on GWS, led by quadruple chins himself:
Collingwood president Eddie McGuire suggests GWS Giants sit out next two AFL drafts
So he proposes to even up the draft by corrupting it even further

Yet he had no issue with hawthorn winning three successive premierships. It's only an uneven competition when there is a non-Victorian team involved.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

I'm not sure if you mean Brandon Jack or Jack Hiscox, but you can add the one you left out. Then there's McGlynn and a ruckman which makes 7 or 8 out.
If we resign Mitchell, then I think Macca should retire. He will hold back the development of the midfield if he plays.Comment

Eddie should request to be put into an induced coma and sit out the next two years of life, then he won't be so upset about who the Giants draft.I know its a bit off topic, but here comes the war on GWS, led by quadruple chins himself:

Surely this will be treated with the contempt that it deserves, it is gobsmackingly ignorant and just makes my blood boil. They are happy to have teamns from Qld and NSW as long as we are not any good.
The AFL and all its clubs signed off on these concessions so they should just let the GWS experiment ride itself out, and it will. So just let them have just a tiny bit of success please Knucklehead before you start picked at the carcass once free agency becomes a major issue for that club.
I know this won't happen but if it does then the four Northern Clubs should seriously consider boycotting a round of the H&A and the GWS Board, sponsors and coaching staff should all just resign en masse.Comment

+1 , think this spot on and for those suggesting we should trade BJ he has a contract - we expect players to honour contracts and we should do the same. Having said that, IF a club came in for him then the club should put any offer to Brandon and let him make a decision re his career. But trying to ship him off the payroll is not what we should be about IMO.
We usually try and bring one established player in to freshen up the list and I think this trade period will be no different.Comment

Would the Swans and Hawks consider a straight swap? Tom Mitchell for Luke Bruest
We need to spread the goal kickers around and be less reliant on Franklin. Furthermore, Bruest would be on less coin.Comment

I would trade Tippett and Rohan to free up cash. After two poor grand finals, I don't think we would miss much.
We need to keep Mitchell. This cash would help keep him and also give us money in the tank to target another prized recruit. Someone like Breust would be perfect.
Tippett to Hawks for Breust +a 2nd round pick. Rohan to Cats for a 2nd round pick. Keep Mitchell.Comment

Throw in a pick around the 25 mark as well and I suspect we would be seriously tempted. We could then either have three picks in the top 25 (assuming we get an upgrade on our pick 35 with Towers) or bundle our two second rounders with our third rounder and make a player for GWS' Pick 7. Assuming of course they are not banned from the draft because they actually won a finalComment

For mine talking of trading Tippett is insane.
He is clearly a better ruckman and offensive weapon than Nankervis who is who we would keep instead.
If we are over-paying him, and as none of us actually know the details of his deal this is pure conjecture (but I am prepared to speculate his high initial deal was to secure the PSD selection and that the option years are much more palatable), then we will have to subsidise any "over-payment" to another club anyway so I can't see any logic in the "get him off the wage bill" argument. And at his age and recent form we'd be lucky to get a second rounder.
We know what Gary brings and you just hope they can get him right in the head but at his best he really does give us something different.
Agree about the keep Mitchell though, more so than ever after his finals series.Comment

A lot of people wanting to offload Rohan, but a lot complain we lack speed. I know he hasn't set it alight in finals, but he has an X factor and I think he should be given one more season to 'click'. If he fails, trade time.....Comment

Yeah but he is under contract, love how we all treat our players as chess pieces (yep, I'm guilty of it too). If he fires then we'll want to keep him, if he doesn't then the only way we'll be able to trade him is to pay massive amounts of his salary while he inevitably hits career best form for another club. We pick and stick at the Swans, how can we expect players to honour a contract when we won't do the same?Comment
