Tippett!!

Just as a side note......apart from Tippet, are we involved in any other trades at the moment, any other players we're targting?

I wish we were. We really need another topic.

Tippet has concussion issues & I think people forget that. If gets concussed once or twice next year, he may have to retire so drafting him is a risk that devalues his price. If he doesn't he'll be a gun but there is no certainty here. I think the Crows know this too. Jessie White & a 2nd round pick may get this deal down (or maybe Swans 1st round one in return for Adelaides 2nd round pick)

No, we usually target players for specific roles and due to the current depth of our list and some of the players who will be on the cusp of selection we will go to the draft only after the Tippett deal (unless something spectacular comes along that you couldn't resist).

Someone like Campbell Heath might also be upgraded as well.

Joel Selwood gets concussed every week, there's no speculation about his career ending anytime soon. Jude would have his fair share too.

There is an under current about it that leaves me with a bit of nagging doubt.

The initial suggestion that he wanted to go home to Qld.

The rather prompt turnaround that we would be even better than home, I assume cos of more $$$$.

The turnaround by AFC on his worth to the club..way they now talk, they feel better off without him?

The poor performance he put up against us in the final.

Someone tell me that it'll all be right on the night..as soon as I see him take a big one at the SCG and win a game for us that all will settle in my mind.

Someone tell me.

Look there are no worries as far as I can see....the bloke just hates Adelaide (The City) and didn't want to say so...so he said (instead) I want to go home.....which wasn't really accurate.....what he wanted was out of that town and into one in which he felt comfortable. the combined lure of Sydney, the club/team/coach, Sydney the city and the money on offer meant that this is BY FAR his favoured place to continue his career. And why not. Very logical.

I don't see it as disloyal at all. He wasn't happy where he was and he got a better offer. What's the problem Adelaide fans (!!!! :-))

Same as Barry Hall

As far as I can tell he was happy at the club, happy with his team-mates and happy with the coach...just hated living there and said "you know what, I don't actually HAVE to live here, I have other options."
