Yes, we did get Clark after he wanted to go back to Western Australia, but the main reason he came to Melbourne was they were able to get a deal done with Brisbane while Fremantle sat on their hands.

Bloody salary cap.

And like last time we have the $$ and the picks to get involved, if we have the inclination to do so.

 

Will Paul Roos call this a Sad Day in football as he did for free agency?

How a premiership team may end up with one of the best Forwards.....something is not right Mr Demetriou!

yes. What has happened to the Draft where Tippett would have to nominate and take his chance?

6 years at the Froot Loops does not make him a free agent?

Explain Vlad.

If Tippett goes to the draft there is no chance of him getting to Sydney. A bit like Lambert and Brisbane (Walls), he will go were he is picked.

what are you talking about wyl?

there is nothing different about the process tippett will have to take to get to the swans

the afl can't and haven't changed any rules for tippett

the only advantage swans may have is they have a higher salary cap than most (but not all) clubs

swans will have to do an acceptable deal with crows

if they can't/won't and tippett digs in then he goes into ND just like Ball did where swans first pick is a long way down the list

have i missed some thing where the afl can intervene on behalf od swans?

i understand all that. But there is no point having a draft if players can nominate where they wish to go from the beginning. He is not a free agent.

It's just words, wyl. Him saying he wants to go to the Swans doesn't make it so. If the Swans can't engineer an outcome using the functions provided by the AFL, Tippett won't get there. Remember how Nick Stevens desperately wanted to play for Collingwood?

And some say the trade season is boring !!

Not I


Another AFL assisted Club raid - Scully and Tippett. Crows have had worst run than us, Bock, Davis & now Tippett - all funded by the AFL

Far worse.

i understand all that. But there is no point having a draft if players can nominate where they wish to go from the beginning. He is not a free agent.

but he can't nominate officially. he has just declared his intention, nothing official or afl related in that

again, what is your issue and have i missed something

What are you talking about?

He is like any player out of contract. He has got an offer and named a club he wants to go to. If there is no deal he nominates his price and goes into the PSD and the first club in draft order that wants to pay his price gets him.

That's how it has been for years.

Sorry DC didn't see your post before I posted.

He will be traded for the Swans first pick No 23.

Very canny man; had it built into his contract.

BTW remember this

If Sydney don't get Tippett then they will definitely get Dawes.

I have a gut feel that we will finish up with Caddy as a result of the trading/movement of the two.

Don't know how , it'e just a feeling.


On another note I wonder how if at all this impacts GC and possibly nomionating JV. I would have thought that the Crows would be keen to do a deal with GC over Swans, ( better picks and more young players ). If they tell GC to hang onto pick 2 and they will try and get him to GC that may be good for us.

He will be traded for the Swans first pick No 23.

Very canny man; had it built into his contract.

Incorrect. John Reid who drew his contract and the Crows say that is untrue. There is no deal in place and he is like any other player. His management have not denied this.

It's far better for Adelaide that he nominates the Swans. Now They are pretty much assured of getting a trade for him. If he had come out and said he was going to GC then he could have waited until the PSD.

At least now GC have to offer up a juicy contract and a good trade if they want him, as do Sydney.

"Tippett announced on Saturday he wanted to become a Swan, signing a four-year deal with the premiers." Herald Sun Saturday.

That can't be right because anything he signs is invalid unless he can get to the club. I would imagine another journo has got it wrong. At best a handshake of "if you can get me I will come on those terms."

If.....and I know this is a big if...... Tippett attempts to get to the Swans through the PSD like Ball then someone must pick him up before them. The fact Ball was able to rort the system like he did has set a dangerous precendent where players seem to think they can nominate where they want to go, hold their own and other interested clubs to ransom by threatening not to play etc and get what they want. Someone needed to take Ball even if he sat out 2 years, that draft rorting could have won the pies a flag and has made trading very difficult for the players original club.

I agree; the other thing is that the Swans have a reputation in the industry for being very easy to deal with; they pick their target and put their best reasonable offer forward first up (hence the Jolly, Mumford deals etc).

If Tippett had picked Essendon, on the other hand, I'd absolutely despair if I were an Adelaide fan.

then why did the AFL send a memo to media outlets telling them of Tippetts intentions?

It should have nothing to do with the AFL thus far...but it does.

They do that all the time.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
