Can anybody fill me in?

[Velour&Ruffles]

The quiet word on the street is that the Swans may be intrested in Kurt Tippett, but that he has a few contractual issues with the Crows to surmount before he could join us. I don't want to create any false hopes or pointless chatter, but has anyone heard anything about this?

[jetts32]

I can't tell if this is serious or not.. Haha

[AnnieH]

Gold.

Not sure, maybe you should ask Sheedy, e may know something a bit more concrete.

Nice spelling too - intrested!

Really? That would be cool but I think I read somewhere he's happy in Adelaide. The Crows fans love him and he is being well looked after by the club. Storm in tea cup.

[jono2707]

There is no way he would want to leave delightful Adelaide and come to this dump of a place.

[Primmy]

Oh I don't know jono. I think our beaches may be a little more interesting. Perhaps if Kinnear gives him a call he might want to give Sydney a try. But then again the AFC fans think the world of him, so it may just be wishful thinking on our part.

Who is Tippett?

[Dosser]

Only 2903 more posts to go!

[Nico]

Why was this thread started? It is taking away from the Tippett thread post count. Please merge.

[Dosser]

I think he stated once that he wants to go home to the Gold Coast anyway. End of story.

[satchmopugdog]

We don't need another tall forward...Reid is never going to get injured playing in the most difficult position on the fiels at such a young age. Kinnear is after Fev in the pre-season draft...you heard it here first.

[gumby_bolts]

Who do we trade for him? Grundy? Parker? I've heard J White but can't be serious.

[ShockOfHair]

I'm thinking: first-round pick plus a player.

Wow. almost 3000 posts summed into one sentence.

[Primmy]

:rofl I'd say that's it in a nutshell.

[707]

Brilliantly put. Concise and to the point without missing anything and all in just one sentence. Hope that answered the original query.

Oh, nice that Caro got a mention too.

Just to save Annie the need to post on this this thread:

"lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala lalalalalalala"

He missed a comma.

I was going to say that Matimbo missed my la la la's.
Thanks Jono.

[BigBarryRound25]

He missed a comma.

If you listen to the crows fans, one more concussion and he'll lapse into a comma

[satchmopugdog]

That's funny ..very funny indeed

[AnnieH]

He's concussion prone????

OMG.

What are the swans thinking????

[Primmy]

Just in case you have missed it, this is a very funny thread.

[ShockOfHair]

He's concussion prone????

OMG.

What are the swans thinking????

You really didn't know? One more concussion and his career comes to a full stop.

Don't hold back, Annie! :smile:

I'm not an anti-Tippettist but I'm sure the deal looked a lot better after the fifth bottle of Krug on grand final night.

[Jewels]

Surely you're taking the proverbial here? I can't keep up with what's serious or not on here at the moment!

[Dosser]

We are all serious, Jewels

[Matimbo]

Apologies. Glaring oversight on my part.

[Doctor]

Swans eh? Does that Lockett chap still play for them?

[AnnieH]

Stop this world. Let me off. There's too many pigs in the same trough.
There's just too many buzzards sitting on the fence.
Stop this world it's not making sense.

[sharp9]

He missed a comma.
Kurt was in a Comma????....Oh , right not a coma

[Doctor]

So it looks like he's coming here. I hope he comes in for Bevan or Matthews. They're doing nothing lately.

[Primmy]

Hasn't Bevo gone to West Coast and Benny M to the Gold Coast?

[aardvark]

Finally a decent replacement for that spud Lockett!!

[goswannies]

He's concussion prone????

OMG.

What are the swans thinking????

I have it on good authority that his contract will stipulate that he needs to borrow either LRT's or Jude's helmet for the duration at his time at the Swans.

[jono2707]

Apparently this is now the 827th most popular thread in RWO's history.

[Nico]

Finally a decent replacement for that spud Lockett!!

I wonder if he can box. Another spud that played for us told the world and Danny Green that he could box, but alas, when push came to shove we never found out. Boxer on the field and cream puff off the field perhaps (Anonymous). KT has a lot to live up to.

[satchmopugdog]

How tight are his shorts..if he's going to replace Capper...our last DECENT forward..they better be as good as The Bee Gees film clip of "Staying Alive"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
