K Tippett

[Ian Dunross]

Flog effort by a flog bloke.

Leaves a club whose made him who he is. Says goodbye to team mates by text message.

Deserves no success at his new "club" (see franchise) on that action alone.

Many lions fans were keen to get him a couple of years ago... rumblings of first pick + Redden - we dodged a bullet. Freeman,McStay look good + Hammelman. Two academy kids and a 20ish pick.

The main positive for Tippett is that he has managed to string a block of games together, yes he was far from his best today but we know what he is capable of

He should be cherry ripe for next week then.

I'm not going to bother looking up the stats, but I'm guessing Kurt's kicked more Grand Final goals than Fev.

I'm not going to bother looking up the stats, but I'm guessing Toby Thurstans kicked more Grand Final goals than Hall.

Can anyone GIF that speckie Lake took on him?

Would have to be the highest paid for actual return.

Takes the odd mark, kicks the odd goal, provides a contest.

But at a million or year if that's true, I doubt there's ever been a more overpaid player.

travis choke.
kirt tippit can take a mark but he seems to have tunnel vision, whilt he goes for the kick he cant see the bloke running from 20 metres in from the side to sppil

 

[dumb]

can't play to his best with the shocking sydney midfield. one wonders whether he feels like another team like i dunno, hawthorn, might deserve and make better use of his talents.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Yeh Ok - point taken.

Probably going overboard to say he was the Swans best (Malceski or Buddy) but thought he tried hard, had 16 possessions and looked dangerous given he had a shitpile of a midfield delivering the ball to him.

Absolute joke he got the same rating in the paper as Rioli did.

Is this the forum that said a Brown, Bradshaw and Fevola forwardline would contend and Carlton would miss the finals the following year?

Overpaid, yet they made the GF with Franklin, Tippett and Reid. On par with Crameri suddenly being no good in the eyes of Essendon fans. Kicked four last week, but everyone lines up the forwards because his mids and half backs were belted. They're the ones who failed.

Footy fans are fickle. Rance was AA after Waite pulled his pants down in the finals last year. Pretty sure Tippett had his knee scanned at Princes Park this year.

Not sure how good Tippett's knee is, but they can play him as a forward-ruck like Hale and open up their forwardline for Franklin, Reid, Parker, etc. Or play him deep and move Reid back to sure up their backline.

This !!

Was poor yesterday, but so where many Swans.

 

[Norwegian Blue]

I'm glad they're wasting their dodgy COLA money on this spud.

 

[Silvagnis]

Not Fev's fault Carlton were rubbish for most of his career.

It was. Fevola was a total flog who was only saved by a change of coach. Should have been a great like Lloyd who was consistent.

You wouldn't see Fev chase as hard as Armfield, Matt White and Puopolo who are role players. He's only worked hard when he thought he could get to 100 goals.

He's from the Tyrone Vickery/Mitch Brown/Quinten Lynch school of

"Has everything needed to be great, except the greatness......"

What have McIntosh and Rivers achieved at Geelong?

I guess Tippett needs to be AA like Cam Mooney who had a top team setting him up.
