Tippett - what a disaster

[Catsnlakers]

I just think Tippo struggles to come up to the level when the big games arrive, can only recall the 2012 prelim where he played well....For the amount of money he is on 'disaster' is close to the mark, as it seems tom mitchell may get squeezed out by his and buddys deal.

 

[Xenthor]

I hear he wants to go home to Greater West Sydney.

Haha wouldn't even get a game

 

[Stax on the mill]

Bit harsh on a bloke who didn't even play today.

Gold! Is 299 likes a BF record?

 

[Sempfy]

Lost count of how many times he and Franklin spoiled each other.

 

[screech]

Was barracking for the Dogs purely to watch this flog lose.

It's becoming an annual event

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

He'll go home to the highest bidder, whoever that is.

Freo.lol

 

[JackFlash]

Trade

 

[Biggie]

He certainly isn't going unnoticed, for a player not being noticed in the GF.

 

[Sando22]

Wouldn't carry Boyd's bags.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Extended his contract until end of 2018. Any idea if he took a paycut or still on the same amount? Definitely didn't deserve a payraise.

 

[Rusty22]

geez he reminds me of jesse white, yuck...

I was there on GF day and it was staggering to see how poor he was (10 disposals, 2 tackles, 1 behind). There was one particular play when he and Buddy spoiled each other (with no direct Bulldog opponent) and I thought 'enough is enough'; Sydney need to cut their losses and move him on.

Because of Kurt, they lose Tom Mitchell due to cap constraints and perhaps miss out on snagging a key defender to replace Grundy (30yo) and Richards (Retired). It will hurt them big time in challenging for a flag in the coming years.

 

[lowerjup]

Could the Swans trade him off? Would anyone be interested?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Is a very good player on very small defenders.

 

[FreoRicci]

Think Swans should put Tippett up for trade. Naismith offered more then Kurt did on Saturday. Buddy tends to play well as lone full forward as well.

Think about the new guys they've blooded this year. Aliir Aliir, Mills and Heeney from last year. They'll be commanding more money in a few years and one of those could be forced out.

Regressed a lot this year, particularly in the last 6 weeks, after being very good in 2015. Turns 30 next year and may be hitting the wall like Will Minson did.

Still has value as a ruckman, but there's no way the Swans can send him elsewhere now without having to pay a chunk of his salary or trading him for minimal value in return.

You would think the Eagles may be interested in using him as a stop-gap next year.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Played with a broken jaw. Shouldnt have played. Nor should McVeigh. Or Mills.

These three decisions... Not good.

Combined Buddy & Tippett deal forced a few out, although many they wouldn't really miss Mitchell would hurt a lot.
Mumford is a huge out, and we were happy Biggs was forced out as a rookie as he's been a handy bargain pick up for us.

Heeney is already a gun and Mills will join him shortly. Aliir can ask for good coin after his initial 2 year contract is over as the market is tight for KPDs.
Was Tippett front loaded? At least Sam Reid's large contract expires at the end of 2017.

In principle I agree with you, but do they have any depth at all to replace those players?

 

[scoman]

Gold Coast are glad he got lost

So are Brisbane......

Well kinda

 

[philreich]

Very harsh call - I think he was ripped off for the Norm Smith medal, as he was definitely the Dogs' best player.

 

[ep2018]

Shocking game and not his first terrible GF, but all off season we will hear about Jack Darling
