Not true at all mate. Not once have I said any of those things. Just because someone has a difference of opinion doesn't mean you have to throw all your toys out the pram.

No not once exactly, many times

Its quite obvious you are incredibly bitter about the situation, I think its time you just accepted Tippett is a Swans and just move on.

Look back at th conversation mate. Had nothing to do with Tippett. Had to do with what Swansrule was saying I said which was incorrect and he was acting childish to a simple differing of opinion. Strangely enough he can't quote me saying anything that he claimed. :oops:

I never said AFC didn't do anything wrong, nor did I say I wasn't concerned with what my club did. They stuffed up and we have paid heavily for it, this years and last years 1st/2nd round draft picks gone. That's our punishment and they have lost respect for it.

I can't really see him making it to 250 games, I reckon he will get another concussion or three over the next year or two and be forced to retire. Had 3 in 2012, he is kinda 'fragile goods' in that area in my opinion for 2013.

It's amazing how easily persuaded by money he is, isn't it? But anyway, I am pretty sure a straight trade is considered honorable. I believe there was one of such in 2009 with Brisbane Lions that was rejected last minute by one of the higher ups (unfortunate in hindsight). Sydney didn't want to play fairly and decided to get him the dirty way instead, and in the end got their goods. End of story.

Sydney offered a draft pick and offered to throw in a player as well, over and above what the contract stipulated between AFC and Tippet. Adelaide were about to sign the contract to do the trade but that was also rejected by them last minute. I think its your clubs last minute rejections that are causing the problem. Its Adelaide's fault they didn't accept it, and instead went crying to the AFL, with the result being that Adelaide ending up with no compensation and the loss of draft picks. Why blame Tippett for that?

I take it you work? I dont work for the love of it, i do it for the money. As much as AFL footballers love what they do, in the end it is the money and premierships they are really interested in. Tippett accepted better money, but also went to a club who were the Premiers and were in their premiership window for at least the next few years. You cant blame him for that. We have also lost many players who wanted to go home or to more successful clubs in the past. While we would all love to have a culture that inspired players to want to stay and play for our clubs, it doesn't always happen.

Care to show any quotes? :rolleyes:

I thought I would take a look at some Dangerfield quotes since it is searchable and I am bored.

Lol Dangerfield would be their best player by a mile!

if he were traded to Geelong for Harry Taylor.

I would take Dangerfield ahead of all of them regardless.

"Them" being Buddy Franklin, Cyril Rioli, Nic Naitinui and Majak Daw.

It is obvious trolling from Blood Bath Kennedy is the only one there even remotley close but he's still not in Dangerfields Echelon.

Swans again.

Thread was made at the start of last year when Victoria was cutting sick about Cotchin. Dangerfield has well and truly gone past him.

Yeah I know*. He's comfortably faster then Jetta.

*An educated and astute reply from one of Adelaide's finest minds ?

Dangerfield may be fine in a race. He may also be a whizz at ping-pong. The evidence suggests Jetta keeps his best for football games (as apparently does Jude Bolton). What use Paddy O'Dangermouse if he's run down so easily during games ? So let's talk about speed as a footballer.

The game I cant wait for is the game against the Hawks. I really hope Tippett smashes Lake to pieces and kicks a bag on him. If that happens the Hawks will really be scratching their heads given that they think picking up Lake was the answer to their premiership quest.
 
A synopsis of the story so far ....

Crows make illegal promise to Tippet of option to move to a club of his choice
After honouring his side of the bargain Tippet takes up option and decides he wants to play for Sydney (why wouldn't he ?)
Crows renege on promise
Swans offer a compensation player
Crows get sulky and spurn the offer
Crows pull out the big guns (and proceed to shoot themselves in the foot)
Crows are hopping mad
AFL 'impartially' investigates bullet holes in foot
Tippet gets 11 week suspension
Crows get a slapped wrist
Tippet takes it on the chin
Crows reduced to tears

If you actually watched when Danger got run down you would of noticed he had to slow down as he was getting hemmed in by an oncoming Sydney player, it wasn't a direct chase (where as the Rioli / Jetta chase was). Don't underestimate the fella ;)

And to all that think Tippet didn't do anything wrong. Pffft. He signed the contract in 09 and got his 11games because of it. I wouldn't hate his guts so much if he had left honorably. He said he wanted to go home, close to family. Then he goes to a completely different state, to the highest bidder, giving Adelaide nothing in return. No trade, no draft picks, just straight out the door. As he left it so late we missed out on being able to target other free agents (ie D. Pearce) waiting on Tippo's decision. And then the middle finger to not even properly say goodbye to the club, instead to send a text message to his team mates. "Oh yeah nah guys im leaving cuz sidney got more money, here chekout my surfboard. cya ;) ". You can keep him. He may be a good player but he is poisonous and lacks sportsmanship. I remember in year 10 in English we had to read some speech on Sydneys great culture. How Sydney went about getting Tippo & Tippo doing what he did completely contradicts what your club says it stands for and hence you have lost a lot of respect in my eyes, and the eyes of thousands of others.

Looking forward to the game!

Weird. Reading you post it was as if thousands of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. Again. Ah memories. :D
