Is Hannebery on the money with his comments that Tippett is not an automatic selection or is he speaking dribble. Thoughts Swan supporters.

I'm guessing hell play 2s for 2-3 weeks

I always thought he'd play 2s. I reckon he'll only play 1 week though to prove a point, unless he's legitimately lacking fitness.

ha ha ha, Dan Han thinks he is a comedian.

Nah i think they will slot him straight in and give him the red vest for the first couple of weeks.

One thing i was thinking of though, was Tippett banned for 11 games or 12 rounds?? I know he isnt allowed to play senior footy until R13 as the Swans have the R12 bye? so he could play in the 2s that weekend. But the 2s have the bye as well.

Surely the Swans will send Tippett with the 1s @ Port instead of to NT with the 2s

Hes banned from reserves aswell?

He will need a game or two in the ressies then just to get the feel of it again.

I think it depends how the swans/ port are faring at the time. I'd like to see the swans make a statement and have him play in the 2s first.

and I reallllly want him to kick like 20+ goals :P

The Bags two cents, Clearly just saying "Hey Kurt, work hard and earn it" He'll be straight in if he works hard enough in training!

But yeah probably a ressie game first for touch!

They won't pay him millions to play in the Magoos. Think he will slot nicely into the lineup but interesting to see that tabs thinks he might be in the red for a few rounds - not doubting that either! It seems to be the big men that are the preferred red wearers!

If he was to come back through the 2s though, he will have to play in Alice Springs v NT Thunder.

Surely they wont send Tippett to Alice Springs to play his first game

Ziplock · May 22, 2013, 06:52:48 PM

why not?

it'll be character building.

+ good for the game in the NT? :P

Also for the spoilt brat Kurt Tippett! Probably what he needs!

Traeger Park (Alice Springs) can't be any worse than AAMI. :P

Hey man! I have enjoyed the new Footy Park recently!

From the upper tier it is great to watch footy! Even the boundry!
