Tippett wants to be a Swan

[Capper]

Those people from that really good fb page recon that Grundy will be involved somehow.

this rumour was started last week and it was squashed last week as well.

The ways its going it will last 3 weeks and if it gets down probably all 18 teams will be involved in the trade

Giants looming large here too

Giants looming large here too

GWS about to step in

GREATER Western Sydney dominates trade talk on Tuesday morning, with newspapers across Australia reporting they are prepared to part with early NAB AFL Draft picks to secure a star player.

That star could be Kurt Tippett, with Giants list manager Stephen Silvagni telling the Daily Telegraph the club is ready to step in if the Sydney Swans can't reach an agreement with Adelaide for the key forward.

"The Crows certainly know we've got some interest in him," Silvagni told the Sydney newspaper.

The Giants hold picks one, two, three, 12 and 13 in next month's draft on the Gold Coast, and Silvagni has said they're willing to part with all but pick one for the right deal.

I'm confused, are GWS saying they will give up all four of those picks for the Tippett deal?

If that's correct then Adelaide should cut their losses and cash in

[CrowsFan]

Haha no Tom they are saying they are willing to use any of those picks as part of a deal to get Tippett ;)

give us Picks 3 and 12 and you won't hear me complaining  8)

Crows will get shafted Imo unless gws get involved if we get pick 12 or higher it ll be a win coz I don't think Sydney will have to give up much at this point

[Tominator]

Well Kurt Tippett's manager is being a douche and saying he will only sign for Sydney and nowhere else

HEY KURT, YOU'RE NOT A FREE AGENT SO STOP ACTING LIKE ONE



But this shows just the type of person that Tippett is... He left Adelaide because he wanted to move to Sydney (the city) - GWS are in Sydney. He wanted to be closer to his family - GWS are in Sydney. He wanted the lifestyle - living a little bit west to the CBD won't change your lifestyle! But will he play for GWS? Oh no no, they are a bad club at the moment so he cannot play for them!

And pick 22 for Tippett?

Tha'ts less than Dawes and Wellingham.

Crows are gonna get shafted - again - unless he goes to GWS

However, I'd love to see the Crows just pull out of negotiations with Sydney and see his reaction then   ;D

Tippett doesnt want to go to GWS

TIPPETT NOT KEEN ON GWS TALKS
Kurt Tippett remains in control of his plan to be a Sydney Swan by declaring he will not join Greater Western Sydney, reports Michelangelo Rucci. The Adelaide Advertiser scribe says as much as Adelaide can get a better deal from the Giants than Sydney, Tippett has the right to veto any trade the Crows conjure before next Friday's deadline. The Giants have declared that they are willing to offer Tippett his much-wanted lifestyle change to Sydney by offering to hand Adelaide anything but their No.1 draft pick for the 25-year-old Queenslander. Greater Western Sydney's early draft picks are far more tempting to the Crows than Sydney's offers of a second-round draft pick or out-of-favour ruckman-forward Jesse White. But they are a wasted offer while Tippett remains steadfast on becoming a Swan. Tippett's Brisbane-based manager Peter Blucher questioned GWS's interest in Tippett. "We've had no contact from the Giants ... and it doesn't matter because Kurt has chosen to be with the Sydney Swans," he said. "I remain supremely confident a deal will be done. The Adelaide and Sydney football clubs are two good groups - they will work it out."

West Sydney is a trek from normal Sydney

Nobody lives there

It's flowered that the crows who gave him so much get held over the Barrell like this. We ll get shafted but once this deal is done good riddance.

While I believe players should be able to have a say in their employment if his reason for moving is family and I can see why he d want to move for that reason. Maybe leave a club that gave you the opportunity to be well rewarded for your services with something.

Pity he had to pick a club that doesn't want to part with a decent player, that's not Sydney fault however.
