    Revealed: The moment Kurt Tippett felt like a Sydney Swan

    IT was a private moment in the sheds - and not that mark and goal in the opening minute of Saturday's loss to Port Adelaide - when Kurt Tippett finally felt like he belonged at the Sydney Swans.

    The star forward has been at the club for more than six months but took the field for the first time on Saturday after an 11-week ban incurred at the Adelaide Crows.

    And while his new teammates embraced him after that opening goal, it was a surprise jersey presentation that will stick in Tippett's mind from his debut game.

    Swans co-captain Jarrad McVeigh caught Tippett by surprise before the first bounce, presenting him with his first red and white jumper.

    Obviously he guesses the size, because it was a couple too small
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    I've noticed most of the Swans wear super tight jumpers, a few sizes too small.

    An obvious ploy, to make it very hard to grab them.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    You'll notice Buddy also wears a small jumper. I'm sure it helps slip a tackle.

    I noticed, and it didn't upset me either. Not in the slightest.

    I think it is more about marketing than game tactics I think Tom Mitchell's applied that to the shorts as well though

    He was half way through putting on his undies.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.
