He would be 65-70kg right as we speak
One from the vault for you guys. A 19-year-old Kurt Tippett playing for the Southport Sharks in the QAFL in 2006. In just his second ever season of Aussie rules, he was promoted into the senior Southport team and played a pivotal role as the second highest goal kicker for the club throughout their QAFL Premiership winning season that year. As some of you may know he played alongside soon-to-be Swan Jesse White at Southport that season as well as other future AFL players Brent Renouf, Haydyn Kiel and brother Joel Tippett.

Kurt Tippett to give SUNS' young talls some extra tips
A Neighbourhood conversation has led to former AFL star Kurt Tippett agreeing to help Stuart Dew with Gold Coast's ruckmen and key forwards in 2021.
Geez you guys like a sook don't you. Can't recall the dissent about taking Tippett for nothing when he decided he wanted to "go home" to Sydney.
We owe you guys a smack, so you'll just have to suck it up for reasonable value, unlike what your club screwed us with or let him walk to the PSD.

I know this is trolling but I will bite.
Tippett was Adelaide's own doing.
- Not Sydney's fault Adelaide cheated the cap
- Not Sydney's fault Adelaide included a clause for a second round pick
- Not Sydney's fault you got caught.
Yes Tippett probably should have gone to his true home (GC) but whilst he was great early on he hardly showed us true value in the end.
Also both clubs management departments are very different these days, neither club owe each other anything.
Yes it was our doing, but Sydney used that opportunity to twist the knife. Don't expect that things get forgotten, it goes both ways.
Anyway, I like Sydney as a club, just pointing out the long memories...
Crows stripped Gunston of award
And we have always done our best to get a player to a team they want to go to when they do want to go home, when they go about it the right way...ie Kane Johnson, Tyson Stenglien....Both of these boys were fantastic players for our club and when they wanted to go home we sent them on their way...

Welcome. You can post if you show some respect. Otherwise, off you go please. There are plenty of places on BF to hate on us. Here is not one of them.
You wouldn't have carded him and me in the dark days

Sydney hardly dug in the knife.
They acted as any other professional football club would act in that situation and offered a deal that was relative to Tippetts existing contract (a second round selection).
Obviously when that fell through they targeted the pre season draft.

Actually know Gunston personally from school (well used to know him quite well).
It was a family situation that caused him to move, anyone would have moved in that situation.

"some of my best friends are swans fans ..."
Crows supporters in full flight.
First they suggest trading Paul Seedsman who will be 30 at the beginning of next season for Dawson.
Now they are all salty and revisionists in history after the Tippett trade debacle.
The Crows and Tippett's management signed off on a contract which promised to trade Tippett for a second-round draft pick at the end of his contract to the club of his choice. All along that club was expected to be the Suns. The Crows also agreed to pay him up to $200,000 outside the salary cap (hence Tippett's 12 week ban). The Crows are at fault and have admitted as much to the AFL (hence stripped off draft picks in round 1 and 2). Just as they were about to sign off on a deal with Sydney Swans to send Tippett to the AFL premiers in trade week, they confessed. The deal was halted. The scandal exposed.
Swans weren't guilty of anything... other than signing Tippett to a hefty pay packet that he never quite lived up to.
Tippett was technically coming home given he was born in Sydney....

You went onto another team's board to complain about them being pissed off about a player leaving? Busy day?

Tell you what, I'm impressed by the memories of these Crows fans to still be cracking the shits about the Tippett saga.
I don't even remember what I had for breakfast, let alone this Kirk Tippett fella.

You honestly don't think Tippett's management didn't tell Sydney that he can come very cheap despite offering him $1M per season because they had this "gentleman's" agreement in an email to force a trade? Why did Sydney offer a sh*t trade to us in the first place if they didn't know hence the deal fell through and the AFL started to look at why a club would offer such small trade value for $1M a year player they wanted to sign, so they looked more closely at his contract and discovered he was paid 3rd party payment of $200K over 3 years which was actually within the salary cap if they've been declared. Compared to what Carlton did, we received a very harsh and same punishment as Carlton.
And take your brown paper bags with you!!

That's one fine looking rooster. I bet he could take us to a flag. Where do we sign?
The 2016 GF was the worst footy day of my life following the Swans.
Yes because of the way we lost but mainly because I had a loud mouthed Swan supporter who woulfn't shut up from start to finish no matter how many fellow supporters told him to from before the first bounce to after tbe game.
The worst footy fan I have ever seen & heard including opposition fans in all of my life.
So some Swans fans are my enemies.
