Given Rutten and Johncock omissions I guess this is your vision for 3/4 years time. Probably have to take Scotty Thompson out also if that's the case since they're all around the same age. If this were the case, we're suddenly looking very light on quality talls - even with Johnston and Lynch coming in. Frankly I think even with those two guys, plus keeping Tippett we need to add a couple more.

Keep chipping away Stabby sooner or later some will listen to reason...maybe.
Trading Redden would ensure Vossy is gone at the end of the year, hell trade out entire midfield...Black is good for another 5 years.
The thing that worries me is how cagey they've been all trade week, we really have had very little idea about what has been going on. Unlike when Rendell was in charge, Noble has not signalled our every move to the media well before they occur.
I have great faith that Tippett would never screw us over, I wonder whether he's internally signalled that he would like to move back to Queensland this year or next, but has let the Crows keep the higher ground by not coming out and publically stating it. I hope not, because I don't want to lose Tippett, just seems to be one too many trustworthy sources suggesting that there is something in the winds.
Assuming we keep Tippett, I think we'd look something like this if our other prospective trades go through.
B: Brown Rutten Johncock (Talia)
HB: Jaensch L Thompson Tambling (Petrenko)
C: Mackay Van Berlo Dangerfield (Knights)
HF: Vince Tippett Johnston (McKernan)
F: Wright Walker Porplyzia (Callinan)
R: Jacobs Thompson Sloane (Smith)

EDIT:

Not too shabby really.

I'm pretty sure that Mitch Clarke won't go to Melbourne. He WANTS to be home with his little girls. That's Perth. Mind you, there's no love lost between him and the crazzy coach.
But he had contracts sitting in front of him for the last 6 or so months from GWS - with at least as big $$$ that the Dees have offered - and for 3 or 4 years. I don't think it's about money.

Brisbane won't trade Redden. He is worth more than Tippett by himself.
I'm not too fussed either way, because I don't think Brisbane will offer Polec and eight either. That I would also take, but I'm not a big Tippett fan. I just don't think he's a forward. I think it is hard for other forwards to work in the space with him and he doesn't have a footy brain. He'll have four great games a year, but nothing you can rely on.

Is it my eyes or is Dangerfield missing from that list?

Surely we could get Ben Nason for himnope, he's not there. maybe he's off to melbourne for a straight swap with bate

so bleedingly obvious on so many occasions yet so rarely acknowledged. he is marketed as a star by a team which has had little to market in recent times but he'll never be one unfortunately. really hope we manage to move him now cos we'll not get much for him next year

Sando is on his way to Melbourne. On the same plane as me. Dipper and Doug Hawkins to. Make of that what you will.
In 97 and 98 we needed Modra and there was no way we could win a grand final without him!

In 97 we wouldn't have made the finals without Modra.

Sando has been going back to Vic each weekend to see his partner and to finish preparing the move back to Adelaide.
If we can get Polec and 2 first rounders, it must be done. I dont want Tippett to go but every player has his price and that is a Judd like compensation.

Pure speculation.
Lets say tippett has said internally he is considering moving at the end of next year.
As soon as we advertise externally he will move, his price goes down.
There is no benefit in this.
We can just back ourselves in to keep him next year if we can't get the deal we want, and we don't have to deal with speculation over what will already occur.
Highly surprised if this happens. Don't you take Noble at his word. Repeatedly said Tippett is not up for trade and I for one believe him.
Lewis Johnstone is a forward and has the potential to be a bloody good one but we need Tippett next year.
Macca, I woud like you to be negotiating with Noble. I wish you sat on the Gunston trade

Geelong have been pretty good for the last 5 years without having a dominant key forward
. That being said we should definitely keep Tippett, with the right structure and better delivery we could do anything with this teamWould have if Walker was in the team! We had a makeshift forward line with one gun! We still have a forward line without Tipp just not as good! Elite midfields win finals though.
