Kurt Tippett

[Hellgood]

Overreaction by the OP. Yes, he's on a big salary, but he would slot into every single clubs best 22 as a key forward - which is pretty bloody valuable as there's probably only a dozen guys league wide who could claim that mantle.

Still kicking a couple of goals a game and the threat he poses is not something that should be overlooked either.

 

[Beachsleeper]

He kicked 30 goals in each of two half seasons.

2.4 goals per game in 2014 (#9 in league)

2.9 goals per game in 2013 (#3 in the league)

Next.

Will be at BNE next year. Has been good when on the park, but expensive nonetheless.

Seriously... He's had 1 or 2 poor games this year.

Why don't we just start bagging Gary Ablett, he's on 1 M a year and can't even tackle.

Wtf? He was that way when he was at the crows too. Injured most of the time then would occasionally flash a bit of a good game and then disappear for a long stretch and then get injure again. Never showed up in big games for us and if you want further proof of his inability in big games watch. Last years grand final. He's gets overpaid because he can play forward and ruck. Swans will offer him a lot less money next time and he'll get shitty and demand a trade to go 'home'

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Kurt as his best is unstoppable.

I'm not sure if the Sydney setup quite suits him as a FF though.

Bollocks. Ablett, Fyfe, Pendlebury at their best are unstoppable. Tippet wishes he was good enough to shine their boots.

 

[Jak!x]

Now being forced to help Pyke out in the ruck more often as a result of his ineffective play. Sydney know he's been a bust, and I bet their glad they have Franklin in the forward line to off set it. He'd get a game at most other clubs, but wouldn't be any sides focal point bar the Dogs and Brisbane

We're hurting this year without a key forward but I hope we don't go after him would cost too much they would want pick 1 for him and he isn't worth it

 

[The King!]

Lol same people who whinged we got him dismiss as a spud


Finally having his first consistent run since he got here

He has been playing a different role this year he is also on the end of terrible delivery

Needs to do more yes but been a frustrating run of availability

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Does anybody know his weight now vs his last year at Adelaide?

As I said earlier he looks too big and slow... Too much weight not enough running possibly

 

[The King!]

He moved fine yesterday

Op just thinks of a bullshit topic every weekend to post on the main board

Never about his own spud team though

I'd invite you to not read or respond to them then.

Average footballer on above average coin.

Would trading first rounders still be too much? I doubt Swans will be offering him much coin, you could get him in the PSD.

Both his goals yesterday were agile snaps?

Sounds like you have an axe to grind or something.

Hi guys, when he's been on the park, Kurt Tippett has stastically been amongst the top 10 most productive forwards in the league in his 2 seasons at the Swans. For one of those seasons he was sharing the 50 with the most productive forward in the league.

These are the numbers. Thank you for reading.

 

[MadDawg]

He kicked 30 goals in each of two half seasons.

2.4 goals per game in 2014 (#9 in league)

2.9 goals per game in 2013 (#3 in the league)

Next.

You forgot this one:

1.4 goals per game in 2015 (#44 in the league)

 

[Chaisa]

You forgot this one:

When he's playing a vastly different role to the last two years?

 

[Hawkk]

When we play the Swans and they direct their forward movements to him I cheer in glee

Along with Sam Reid and now Adam Goodes I see him as being one of the Swans greatest liabilities up forward

 

[Hammer#8]

Welcome to modern AFL. Where potential is financially rewarded over actual talent that produce output.

 

[blueiris]

Don't think he's out of contract and Sydney wouldn't have a first pick because of Mills

 

[HowYouDoin]

We would take him, lol

Might wait until more than 25% of the season has played before declaring he was a waste of money this year.

 

[little graham]

When he played at Adelaide he got the best defender. That's not happening at Sydney. Should be doing more, especially being in a more successful team than Adelaide.

 

[Chaisa]

I'd also argue the way we play (i.e. heavy contested ball game, not 100% clean footskills) hinders the ability of key forwards to some extent.

With that said, I'm not really happy with the deal. Though if he was more fit I'd have less qualms.

Why? With the exception of the Grand Final Tippett generally plays pretty well against you.
