Tippett!!

Perhaps we might get lucky and they'll change it to "paid to play 100 games".

Its interesting to see that Kurt has wound up living on the Gold Coast. I wonder what he is doing to earn a living? His Sun role is only part-time. The Suns really have a Swans feel about them now when you add in Shaw and Dew.

He was on big coin with us so no need to work for a while.

[Ruck'n'Roll]

This isn't quite right. I'm hopeful that well before the Tippett kids grow up we'll have an AFLW team and the eligibility threshold for father-daughter is much lower so his daughter might be eligible.

In view of Kurt's fragility and the curse that seems to afflict the Swans Father-Sons - I think his kids would be better off elsewhere rather than risking a curse squared.

The Swans Father-Son curse:

Gareth John (crushed larynx)
Stephen Doyle (Ankles and knees)
Heath James (Everything)
Sean Dempster (bad trade)
Tom Mitchell (bad trade)
Shane Morrison (went elsewhere)
David Round (went elsewhere)
Anthony & Darcy Daniher (went elsewhere)
Josh & Kyle Dunkley (went elsewhere)
Ty Zantuck (went elsewhere)

And that's not including the players whose fathers didn't reach the relevant games qualification number.

You are forgetting the fact that he’s crossed his DNA with a broader gene pool. Unlike a pug. There’s every chance his progeny will be made of sturdier material than he was.

You just made me laugh aloud in public.

Gareth John - struck down by a karate chop by Simon Madden.

[Ruck'n'Roll]

I wasn't at that game but have heard that it was Maddens knee or worse yet his boot.
If anyone knows for sure?

[snajik]

I thought knee. I seem to recall he slipped during a ruck contest. Falling forward throat connecting with raised knee.

[Ruck'n'Roll]

Thanks snajik - Sounds plausibly accidental.
Rucks, right down to U12 were taught to use their knee as protection (and leverage) at the bounce.

You know, if they could get it reasonably realistic, I'd probably buy the Tom Papley backpack. But of course, if it was realistic, it would have to retail for much more than $39.99.
