Yeah because him postponing contract talks till the end of the season and him being adamant about returning home to qld makes me delusional in thinking we may be able to get him.
Guys, this kid flagged his intent to troll Adelaide supporters in a thread on the Brisbane board.

The world is full of idiots. I'd suggest ignoring this one..

Because we lost a KPP and Tippett has always said he wanted to come home back to qld so we enquired again and when adelaide wanted to ream us with outrageous demands we let it go. We're not desperate to land him like some of you think.

Have I made a ridiculous offer yet? I'm the one getting abused here when all I've done is try to have a meaningful discussion about Tippett's trade value.

So after you missed out on him the club said they weren't that keen on him anyway? Ok.
The article says that you did try to get him, throwing up a couple of options to try to get it done but weren't prepared to offload Redden or Polec so it fell over. Also that a key component of your offers being rejected was that Adelaide didn't need to trade, given that Tippett was contracted for 2012 anyway. The inference is that the situation will be different this season, which it is.
Losing Clark didn't seem like such a big deal after he was ordinary last season. Now it's looking a little different. Your midfield stocks are very exciting, your key position stocks are comfortably the worst in the league. The club will be absolutely desperate to get a quality tall. Given that we know Fremantle and Melbourne at least are in the same market with a pile of money you'll need to cough up something pretty decent to placate the club and player.

Rob Kerr is a very reasonable and accomodating guy and tried to work out a deal doesn't mean we were begging for Tippett's services and our KPF stocks have been kicking bags in the reserves and we're at least another couple of year from playing finals so again, we're not that desperate to land him and will just inquire again in 2-3 years when he's a free agent and we're ready for a premiership tilt. If we can get a trade deal done this year then it'll give him more time to acclimatise to our game plan and such but not required and we'd be prepared to wait as we really won't be losing much if we don't get him this year.

You beauty! We can relax by the sounds of it.
We won't be losing Kurt for a few years. Brisbane won't be throwing much at him this year or offering much up for trade cos they already have an arsenal of key forwards running riot in the NEAFL and their premiership tilt isn't until 2015 anyway.

I said something on my own board and I've been decent enough not to repeat the same thing on your board its not like clubs have never tried to screw over other clubs in the past. I'm just trying to have a discussion about his worth.
Why? None of us are going to be involved in the negotiations assuming he wants to go back so it's one big jerk off.

Trade talks between two club's posters is pointless. The club trying to work the trade always talks down the player's value to the point that you wonder why the heck they want them anyway. The club losing the player talks him up to the point that you wonder how they possibly haven't won the last three flags with this superstar.
However, they are just about the most fun threads going around.

I didn't start this thread, I simply replied to a guy asking for our 1st pick and compo pick for him which is ridiculous and commented accordingly.
Oh I don't know, I thought what about playing the kids was a rip snorter.
You've simply replied now about ten times

His worth? If you guys don't want discussion on this thread shut it down or leave a note saying its for adelaide supporters only.

sorry to intrude on your board.
we tried to get tippett across last season, but it was not a 2009 trade fiasco but a more measured approach.
Kerr was clear on not trading ourselves out of the first round - the reason why we never tabled pick 8 and 12 for tippett + your second rounder. Considering he was contracted and you had the upper hand, if we were desperate that's what our offer would have been.
Also, the trade period gave us supporters an idea whom the club sees as long term untradable players. Polec and Redden for example. We are rebuilding, lacking mid-tier players especially in the midfield. At present we have a young midfield in place which is learning to play together - with Black for guidance and Rainesy as the big body tagger. Trading any of our midfielders would set us back even further.
It's very likely to be a trade for picks scenario where our first rounder might get on-traded by you for a mini-draft pick. I don't see any of GC or GWS giving up their first rounder this time around for the mini-draft lottery.

Can you name a key forward we've had since our inception besides Walker and Modra who are better than Tippett?
It's all well and good to back the club and its ability to develop players, but 200cm+ athletes who can do more than chew gum and walk at the same time don't grow on trees in Australia. We already have a developed power forward and we're looking like we could make a run at a flag in the next couple of years. Bearing in mind that there are maybe two guys in the league who could be a like for like replacement up forward, one of which can't ruck, and both of which we won't be getting, do we really want to spend another 3-6 years recruiting and developing somebody to replace him?
I certainly don't.
Nobody wants Kurt to go but there's no point complaining. This is what football is these days. I've gotten used to it over the years. I'd rather believe in the direction the club is taking and back its judgement than piss and moan about players leaving. Personally I think he would be insane to leave, Whats another 2 or 3 years in the grand scheme of things when your looking at a shot at the Grand Final?
