Kurt Tippett to the Swans? **UPDATE: Tippett requests trade to Sydney***

[Swanee]

GOOD LUCK GUYS FOR PICKING UP OUR GARBAGE......HOPE HE CAN AT LEAST LOOK AT HIS TEAM MATES IN THE FACE.

What, we haven't taken your CEO and Football Manager have we?

 

[J_Moore]

why do these Crows flogs posting on here have numbers after their user names

I think they may be their IQ scores.

From shit they sell to shit we buy
It takes two to tango the Crows cried
From shit they sell to shit we buy
Only one may ply until the bye
From shit they sell to shit we buy
Vlad has made it up on the fly
From shit they sell to shit we buy

Yep, just on the last page, I even let you guys hold onto White's girlfriend It was a bargain!

 

[MushroomRocket]

I am sick of this **** sprouted by the crow trolls on our board. They just backed their criminal CEO when the player gets copped for 1/2 a year. I know we are getting him for free but the trolling from crows supporters on OUR board is getting way out of hand

If Tippett is going to get banned for half a season, he might as well take the AFL to court in the spare time

Aren't you the idiot moderator that made a rule on the Adelaide board stating that any posters making unreasonable offers for the Tippett trade will be red carded? Seriously mate, I dunno what kind of sheltered life you live, but do you realize that any trade offer made on bigfooty from any of our posters, or any posters on bigfooty for that matter, well, kinda, sorta, umm..., aren't actually real?

Part of Tippett's statement after the judgement;


So a presumably negotiated settlement that resulted in a 6 month suspension and a $50k fine, but he doesn't admit liability and had "valid defences".

Nothing I read about this bloke fills me confidence, he appears totally unwilling to accept responsibility for his actions.
He signed the off contract agreement, he agreed to the underwriting deal, he signed the stat dec that the contract lodged with the AFL covered the full scope of his financial arrangements with Adelaide, he was 22 years old when he undertook those actions.

Even today, 3 years later, he wants to blame someone else.
Adelaide, their employees, Tippett and his manager Blucher, all deserve to be held to account.
My concern is that we will likely employ one of them as from next season and make him one of the highest paid players in the competition.

I understand why you might feel like that, but the other side of the coin after seeing how the AFC roll, maybe Tippett is telling the truth? Not much he can say when dads involved, christmas dinner at the Tippetts household might be a little frosty lol.

I don't think of myself as an idiot, no. Yes, I am aware that we have no say in what actually happens on the trade table.

The rule was specifically set up to prevent a repeat of the last two trade periods where we first had Carlton supporters offering absurd trade suggestions for Jacobs (Dangerfield + our first round pick), and then last year Hawthorn supporters offering us pick 40+ for Gunston. It always has the same result, regardless of which clubs or players are involved. The fans get annoyed after the first few ridiculous suggestions and start getting narky, snapping even at people who are posting reasonable suggestions, and in turn those posters get upset back and it soon spirals out of control.

We decided to nip it in the bud early this year. Swan supporters who made reasonable suggestions (and there were plenty) were given free reign by the moderating team.

He'll probably say they're outside his jurisdiction since it's on our board and not theirs... just don't reply to them!

Just ignore and report any posts you have problems with. Mods are free to do what they want with their boards but I want this to be a very relaxed board, so I'm not handing out cards everywhere. Easy to just delete posts and move on.

Thread can remain open for now, but it's probably best if we just start a new thread and make a rule that it's for Swans posters only perhaps? Adelaide's part in the Tippett saga is probably over now anyway. Now it's just about who picks him in the PS draft.

Surely we are not that insular that we are frightened to hear the opinions of posters that support other clubs?

If people overstep the mark then deal with them, but banning non Swans fans is hardly the hallmark of a "very relaxed board" I would have thought.

 

[AG]

exactly, but sick of pms and complaints.

Personally I think some of our posters just need to just stop screaming troll or just ignore.

 

[Cleric]

I think Tippett will get to Sydney. He is a good player, maybe not worth the money Sydney are going to pay him, but you are only worth what people are willing to pay. And really the only issue I really had was the unders Sydney were willing to pay. But that's all history now and if Sydney get him for free in the preseason draft then it worked out even better. That maybe the payoff for not getting him for the first half of next year.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Better than your usual posts Cleric Tippett wages if he comes to us wont be that much more than what your club was offering him to stay which IIRC was ~800k P.A i think they might of been a backdoor deal done that kept Tippett out of the courts but we will probably never know for sure.

, when you get a goose like button why was just relentless with crap. I like your idea of a thread moving on from Adeliade Tippett to the future, but maybe wait for the PSD and then we will know whether he's a Swan

But the unreasonable suggestion of pick 23 and White, was actually about to be agreed upon until the AFL stepped in.

I just wanted to have one final post on this thread now that Adelaides part is done.

All the best for the 2013 season! Button92 out!

*Edit special shout out to Syd for all the red cards. Been a heck of a ride...
