Kurt tippett

[saintfox]

What would people think of going for Tippett in a trade , swans need salary relief, could we offer to pay some of his enormous
Contract and offer a 2nd/3rd rounder like GWS did with Mumford??
At his best Tippett could add a lot to our structure. ? Marks surround paddy and
Roo next year could Tippett add Amy value , we have heaps of cash let's use it .

[thejiggingsaint]

Not the worst idea I've heard. But could we get him to come here?

[skeptic]

Really overrated

And on big coin.

No thanks

[saintfox]

Yes on big coin, but never been the player he was after franklin arrived he's one of those players that plays better if he's the main target

[saintsRrising]

No.


Inconsistent.


Not good enough as a ruck.
Not good enough as a key forward.


What we need now are elite mids with elite ballskills. With other positions now we have reasonable coverage and swapping in players will only lead to marginal gains.

Behind closed doors Kurt is known as a very mentally weak player. Not just behind Sydney's doors either.

Made of cotton wool as can't play through injuries.

[Sainternist]

Hmmm... I don't see why this isn't worth looking into. He could be acquired dirt cheap. If he got his act together, he could be quite handy. I see it as a possible bargain opportunity, a la Michael Gardiner.

That's fair comment colleague!

Come off it! Gardiner was literally on the scrap heap when we got him. Riddled by chronic injuries as well as off field issues. Had loads of talent but WC were looking to off load him . In fact, my memory isn't great, but wasn't he delisted at the time? In any event I don't put Tippett in anything like the same category as Gards. Tippet has nil off field issues and nil chronic issues injury wise. Tippett could do with some of Gard's mongrel, but Sydney are hardly going to let that type of investment just walk out the door like Gardiner did.

For mine Tippett is a big No. Incredibly over rated. Another player who would be recruited for what he 'could' be rather than what he has been.

[wasoncestkil58]

A definite no from me. I couldn't believe the Swans took him away from the Crows. Most Crow supporters were happy to see him go. A backward step if we were after him.

[stonecold]

No!!!!!

[older saint]

NO.
Apart from 1 good final against Hawthorn the most overrated , overpaid footballer in the last 5 years

[Con Gorozidis]

He is terrible. A witch's hat. Rather get games into Marshall.

[WellardSaint]

When you look at how badly the Saints develop players,
Tippett would actually get worse with us.

The road to Seaford is littered with "couldabeens"

So many players just making up numbers.
Only a few succeed in spite of, not because of, the culture at Seaford.

[loris]

If I can remember correctly, Tippett was unable to play multiple times in his early days - due to concussion. Swans seemed to have cured him of the habit of leading with his head - do we need another player that has a history of concussion related injuries?

[Con Gorozidis]

He will be 31 next season.

[saintbob]

No, but I'd take Sam Ried in a heart beat

[Sainternist]

He will be 31 next season.

Okay, I'm off this idea now.

[St Loxton]

No, but I'd take Sam Ried in a heart beat

So would i Bob.

Or 2 meter Peter.

[Bernard Shakey]

No!!!!

[RooeyArmo12]

Massively overrated footballer, saw his years with the crows and now the swans. Absolutely no point in investing in Tippett.
