Interesting development in the Tippett saga with Pies now entering the race.

"The Magpies are expected to find $1.15 million of salary cap relief - of which at least $800,000 would be needed for Tippett - by trading key forward Chris Dawes and midfielder Sharrod Wellingham and listing four veterans next season.

This would load the Collingwood attack with a Tippett-Travis Cloke power tandem."

Would be a potent forward line to rival Buddy and Roughhead.

Where does that leave the signing of Q stick though??

agree but like us last year this is the Mitch Clarke saga re-incarnated for this year, Pies have most to offer.

Kurt Tippet Update:
Tippett looks set to don the black and white next season, with close sources saying he had already met with Collingwood recruitment staff Derek Hine and Matthew Rendell.

"The Magpies are expected to find $1.15 million of salary cap relief - of which at least $800,000 would be needed for Tippett - by trading key forward Chris Dawes and midfielder Sharrod Wellingham and listing four veterans next season."


Adelaide believe Tippett will line up for Collingwood in season 2013. Adelaide and Collingwood will speak more over the next 24 hours to get a deal done early in trade week.

The trade involves moving pick 17 they will receive for Wellingham to the eagles and on trade that, and their pick 18 to Adelaide for Kurt Tippett.
That leave Adeliade with picks 17, 18 and 19 in the first round of the draft.

Tippett will formally announce this afternoon which club he intends to go to.

You have to have played for Collingwood for 10 years, so no Jolly/Krak

Swan just about there, Johnson (if he doesn't retire), Didak, Maxwell and Swan.

so its only the 10yrs and age doesn't come into it?

Johnson and Swan IMO are certain veteran status IMO. Not sure on who else qualifies.
