Why does it matter? Tippett has been blamed. He's got a fine and a significant suspension which is a big blow for a professional athlete. Is there anything more to say on the matter? Back to the topic....will the Tippett thing end in tears? Who knows. He seems to be a pretty dedicated athlete so...

Cripes there are some moronic posts on this thread! If you are to punish Sydney you are also going to punish GWS, Brisbane Lions, Suns and any other team that expressed a sniff of interest in Tippett post season (and I guarantee there would have been a lot). I'm glad it was Sydney that Tippett...

Putting Gehrig on Hall in the 2005 PF.

Getting thrown out of the elite AFL program at the AIS is enough to put the kybosh on any immediate plans he has for an AFL career. The coaches there would have told every club he was not ready to be drafted. His path is to play the best footy he can somewhere else, prove he has the attitude...

We seem to have done ok without the trips overseas. I wonder at the long term effects of taking an individual repeatedly to high altitude. I'm assuming the rooms can reach an altitude much quicker. Are people likely to get altitude sickness? I don't really know much about it and how high these...

Remember all the talk that the Swans wanted to package up the Gary Rohan and Jetta picks for Dustin Martin? That was a close one.

Swans are building a high altitude room at the club, as well as overhaul of the dungeon and other facilities (not a moment too soon). No need to travel overseas.

Brett Kirk arrived. The Tin Man needed a heart.....nothin' doing.

Nicks is with Port Adelaide. Amon Buchanan is now back in Sydney and was out helping the U15 and U17 Swans Academy squads at training on Wed night this week.

Why then does everyone want Tippett hung drawn and quartered? Aside from the very normal sense of rejection and upset a group of fans feel when a player wants to leave.

I hope calm prevails and there isn't an over-reaction. If it's not systemic then no need to go OTT. Premiership point deductions and loss of draft choice only punish the fans and innocent players IMO.

And even Goodes is still considered an inconsistent flake...even by many Swans fans. As for McVeigh, I was very surprised when he was made Captain until I heard his inaugural guernsey pres speech and was left in awe. Kirk's "this is the bloods" speech was awesome but McVeigh topped that IMO...

Bees dick between a flag or not this year. If the desire is there and they have a good run of injuries there is no reason why they shouldn't finish top 2 again. Still think they are the best side in the comp.

He was also seen in an iceberg costume right before the Titanic sunk.

That is not what you posted. You said "ask any Adelaide fan...." and as an Adelaide fan then proposed all Adelaide fans think Tippett threw that game and would have done so had the Crows made the GF. I am sure that Adelaide fans are embarassed by you and would like you to get your hand off your...

Have you ever noticed his uncanny resemblance to Elvis?

AND...let's not forget his hand in global warming.

Genuine question: who lodges the player contracts? Is it just the club or is the player and/or manager required to lodge as well? What is the document that the player signs that says they're not aware of any other deals which I've seen mentioned? Is that a clause in their contract or some other...

He'll be good up forward for Hawks. Can kick straight. Has an enormous heart. Plays with no fear. Definitely better up forward than back. Very sad to wave goodbye to the Spang. He was bloody fantastic for us in 2011. He's much loved by the Swans fans. Has his own Facebook page and song "Spang is...

Swans: David Wenham, Nick Barker, Debra Hutton, David Williamson, Paul Gregg, Glenn Wheatley, Dicko, Grubby Stubbs, Adam Spencer, Shannon Noll, Tony Squires, Jenny Brockie, Hannah Gadsby Any of those in the best? I'm a bit partial to Diver Dan.

Disagree if the scenario is that Tippett was only involved in requesting a trade to the club of his choice. It is not reasonable to expect players to have an intimate knowledge of the terms and conditions of the salary cap rules. It is why they have agents. Who is to say that the extent of...

I hope we get Tippett. Given the disregard for ethical and honest behaviour shown by the AFC along with the disrespect they show toward players and staff I really like that Tippett wants out. Shows he doesn't want to be part of a club and culture that places style over substance. Sounds like a...

Is the tampering based on 3 years ago? By providing an additional benefit outside of an agreement the Crows actually stopped Tippett entering the draft in 2009 (or whenever that contract was signed).

Maybe when he's out of character but right there he is THOR - GOD OF THUNDER who is a Swans fan and likes to shake it down. ALso close relative of Lewis Roberts-Thompson (big viking).

Surely his license is gone. Wonder what other players he's managing?

I'll be interested to see the role Tippett's manager played in this. Did he have knowledge of a written contract and did he negotiate it? A sign that all clubs will be under some sort of scrutiny whilst the AFL understands if this problem is wider. Keeps coming back the problem that S.A. clubs...

Reading the public comment from the officials at the AFC I'm starting to understand why there is an exodus of players from South Australia. Looks like all the class left with Neil Craig. Sanderson comes across as a good guy. Hope he can turn it around.

I've watched a lot of reserves this year and White has been forced to play a lone hand in the ruck. It has really improved his game. One of his challenges of his 5 years at the Swans has been the rules changes that have effected his position. He's been in and out of the team and in a different...

I wonder if the forceful contact will apply to those that duck their heads into knees? Heads hurt.

1. It's the best bang for your spectator dollar anywhere 2. You sing a song when you win and it has a banjo playing 3. Winning away is fantastic 4. ^ only slightly topped by causing an upset 5. Lewis Roberts-Thompson is a dual premiership player 7. Mike Pyke, quoted as the worst player ever by...
