To get a player you want more, that's the way it usually works.
It doesn't affect me one way or another, my only interest is having a laugh at the fools trying suggest this is something other than a shafting.

That was always happening - nothing to do with anyone but Tippett and Adelaide. No other club seemed willing to give away a top 22 player either to obtain Tippett, so I'm not sure why the Swans should be required to.

No the bottom line is that the Swans wants a player from Adel best 22 for nothing and won't give up a ready made player in return.
I blame the Swans and Tippet for this mess.

Then don't accept it!
The biggest shafting in the history of shaftings, Adelaide people won't forget this for a long time Sydney, AND Tippet. May karma come back and bite you both very strongly in the arse in the future.

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
Another comedian.
He's one concussion away from being retired. Literally. Mad from Sydney.

Coming from Geelong picking up HMac is has had more surgery than Micheal Jackson and you gave him a 3 year contract!
No you pay what you have to that's the way it works, this is a transaction in which we have the power paying more then we need to is overs why should we pay overs?
Im not saying they didn't get the blunt end of the stick they did but for you to infer we have done something untoward or are being underhanded in this deal is bullshit.
Everything's above board the Crows simply found themselves in a position of no power and as such will not get a like for like trade, the swans have been in this position before as have many other clubs it's AFC's turn now and they won't get any special treatment.
It's not great if your the crows but there's nothing wrong with what we are doing we are paying only what we have to, to secure the player we want.
Sounds like somebody's still offended about Mummy...

Honestly he could be a good player for Adelaide given the oppurtunity. Jesse has been a forward in the most defensive side in the comp it would be a tough gig.

How am I being a hypocrite? I didn't say it was "ok" for AFC to give up a player in their best 22. But considering he is off contract and has nominated a club that can outbid anyone else in the draft, it's not about being "ok" or not, it's about not having a choice. If we had an off contract player that did the same thing, we'd have no choice but to trade him aswell.

For nothing?? Nothing has happened!
Which is even more reason why he's a dud. Not being able to get a game in a side that couldn't score to save themselves. I don't want him within a hundred miles of footy park. Far prefer leaving Sydney to delist him, we already have more talented players on our list who should hit their straps soon, in McKernan and Jenkins. Don't want White spudding it up stopping their development.

Exactly look at Jenkins he was only a rookie list player that wasn't getting a look in at Essendon.

Take this shitty deal or we'll get him to put a huge price on his head that no other club in the league can afford, and then you will get nothing for him.
NICE.
Good on Sydney, they see a chance to shaft another club, and they took it.

We want a player who has nominated us, who is off contract and who we can get in the draft by outbidding everyone else.
Considering the above facts, it would be completely stupid of us to give a "ready made player" who can help us in 2013. Why would we give a Grundy or a Rohan or a Parker when they are in our plans to help us toward the 2013 premiership, which is the same reason we're after Tippett.
A draft pick and a player that might help down the track is the best we can do. And more importantly, the best we need to do given the facts of the situation.

And yet your club was willing to give him a longterm contract making him the highest paid player at your club...
Jay Schultz whilst not a plodder has been great for you guys.
We took a risk on Daniel Bradshaw, who only played a handful of games before going to the injury list.
There's absolutely no guarantee KT won't pick up another concussion, and be lost to the club and the game. This trade is not without risk for the Swans.
