Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[Draft Bored]

We're getting reamed mate.
Tippett + 20 >>>>> Polec or 8.
But still far better then Sydneys offer

Yeah I never said it was fair, I'm just trying to think of a realistic scenario.

Probably more chance of us hiring Fev on a performance based contract though... 1 can of VB for each goal he kicks.

 

[Danoz]

We already have pick 20. We only have 2 vacancies on our list we can fill. And we have good rookies, one of whom was upgraded for the second half of the season. We don't have a desperate need for a second pick, we can leave a spot for a nominated rookie, we did this year.

Like your thinking except for this bit. Nominated rookie can be upgraded in the absence of two vets on the list. We will have Truck and Radar, with Stiffy as well next year. This year we only had Dogga, hence Nutta could be upgraded.

dont need tippett when we have this guy just chuck him in the ruck aswell lol

 

[TheRoo32]

lol at Crows fans suggesting 23 and White for Polec. Completely hypocritical. Vossy's crazy, but he's not ******ed.

Tippett > Polec. I agree tho. But many have suggested 20, 23 and White for Polec, which is overs really.

I assume your assumption is designed to enrage the hordes who will see what you have done there by suggesting Polec is not worth 23 + White which is what has been suggested for Tippett.
Well played troll...well played indeed

yes it's hypocritical and Crows fans who rejected that deal because it's pathetic shouldn't be suggesting Brisbane take it. It also shows how truly pathetic the deal is and how bad the many dickhead swans supporters on this board have been by trying to tell us pick 23 and white is overs! farkheads

 

[Canberra Based Crow]

Shouldn't have made those comments, don't usually lose my cool but pick 23 for tippet just pushed me over the edge

Mate its sending us ALL over the edge.
Backed into a corner with a gun being held to our head.....

 

[Onetonylockett]

Lamb would probably have currency but I believe he's yet another of the 'vital to our future and can't be traded' brigade.

I think the Swans staff rate him, I would be happy to swap him though.

Tippet's 10x the player polec is and your offering us that deal so how unreasonable is sydney being?

I don't see how players devalue that quickly.
Polec was pick 5 two years ago and turned 20 ten days ago.

 

[fairfooty]

Sydney are the problem in the equation. The only one that works IMO is

Adl: Polec
Bne: Tippett

Failing that Tippett to PSD.

Sydney get nothing because they have nothing they wish to trade that is reasonable.Tippett learns he is not a FA and makes his choice on those terms - or sits out for the year.

 

[Bob Neil]

Did people not see Peter J's suggestion a few pages back? On the proviso that we can agree between ourselves (the Crows) and Brisbane on acceptable terms then there is an iron-clad way to get Tippett to Brisbane via either a trade or the PSD.

The Crows simply refuse to deal with Sydney (hey Kurt - two can play at that game) and say it's either Brisbane or PSD...if he says yes - deal done. If he says no then Brisbane pick him up before Sydney in the PSD (we could even pay the salary difference between what Brisbane had offered and what Sydney is offering).

We don't need Sydney or Kurt - all we need is cojones...

 

[Draft Bored]

Does anyone really think we need Polec?

I'd be shooting for pick 8 from Brisbane or pick 11 from Carlton.

 

[TheRoo32]

As I said Tippett>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Polec (not close)
ANd you are offering White + 23. So don't come in here and try and take the moral high ground!

 

[Vader]

Shithouse. We have picks 24 and 33. If we actually wanted White (which is just a Rucci rumour at this stage), we could get it done without Polec being in the equation.

The pick in the 40s we probably wouldn't even use.

The pick in the 40s would still be overpaying for White.

Congrats. You just made the worlds wost argument. I'm not even going to bother wasting my time explaining why the two trades are so different.

for sure i'd take that but they wouldn't offer it because he only wants to go to sydney

Wouldnt GWS get him maybe even Port or a Melbourne before Brisbane?

I thought our need was an outside midfielder with pace that would provide run and carry. Polec fits that description, is good size and is a local lad. i would have thought that getting Polec would be addressing a need.

I think Crows fans need to realise the difference between fairness and reality.

Look at this situation from a Swans perspective, why would we want to give you more than what we're offering?
It's pretty clear the Swans recruitment team have sat down and said, "We want Tippett. We have some spare money so let's entice Kurt with that. However, we don't want to lose our premiership team we've created at the expense of getting Tippett, so let's make our maximum offer Pick 23 and a pick of any of our fringe players. If another club comes in and takes him with a greater offer than that, then so be it."

In all these heated discussions, I fail to realise why the Swans are coming under the pump. You guys should be most angry at Kurt for being so stubborn to only want to come to Sydney.

 

[gloveski]

What do people think of jed lamb? Pick 21 in 2010, yet to make his debut. Would he have any currency in a trade, either to us or in a three team trade?

I'm suprised also that he hasn't been mentioned, the swans that are yet to play only Mitchell would be in front of him talent wise. He has had a shocking run with injury but his second half of the year was outstanding once he could string some games together. Was likened to Stevie J when drafted

 

[Draft Bored]

We've been talking about 3 way trades for the past few pages. Apparently Brisbane are interested in White. So Bris/Syd/Adel threesome may be on the cards.

 

[Mighty Chinook]

These Polec + Pick 8 proposals are ludicrous. Even if Polec has drifted a bit from his #5 rating two years ago, he's still worth around a pick 6-12 today. Having said that, Brisbane will be wary that it might be worth cashing in on Polec this year, with a year to go on his contract, lest the Lions end up in exactly the same situation next year that the Crows are facing now re Tippett.

So therefore, based on a rating of pick 6-12, Tippett out and Polec in seems reasonably fair as far as trades go. Polec's outside run and silky skills are really the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle to complete a very dangerous midfield for the Crows, remembering also that Crouch comes in next year also.

I don't think we can kid ourselves that KT is going anywhere other than the Swans. Yes, he's a c***, but we have to play ball if we want to take some positives out of this for 2013 and beyond.

Brisbane are desperately seeking a KPF (Merrett at FF this year was laughable), so I think this sounds close to being fair for all parties, given the circumstances:

Adelaide
In: Polec Out: Tippett

Brisbane
In: Pick 23 + 45 + Jesse White Out: Polec

Sydney
In: Tippett Out: 23 + 45 + White

 

[Vader]

I don't think we rate White enough to care that much to be honest. All we have is Rucci saying we are interested. Hardly the most credible source.

Stefan Martin has a meeting with the Lions at the Gabba today. If that goes well, the "White to Brisbane" thing will be over before it started.

Don't bet on it. We signed Graham and the stench of White + 23 still won't go away.

Most of us have moved on from this and accepted that Sydney are stingy pricks.
We are discussing trades involving White and 23 if you hadn't noticed.

How about you do us all a favour and take your verbal diarrhea over to the Sydney boards?
