Here have a look at his stats by game - he's pretty hot and cold imo.

http://www.footywire...s--kurt-tippett

As wellas that he often goes missing in big games, and the two finals this season are proof of that.

Sure if you are looking at the stats comparing him to mids like Ablett & Cotchin - but as tall key position ruckman forward he is pretty consistent with their stats. Thats what GC would be recruiting him for - take the number 1 backman and release Day & Lynch - makes perfect sense for them. (Play Supercoach do you?)

    People wanted rid Jones, i bet the same people want Gysberts gone, who is it to say they couldnt be of similar ability come 3 years time?

    No doubt - the key point is those picks are around a 50/50 punt for us. Which interestingly is around AFL average probabilities - But you are trying to "load" the coin.

    PS I dont take a lot of notice what some people say around here - & Im sure the feeling is mutual many take no notice what I say.

    Lol no I do not play supercoach, and there are more consistent forwards out there. He is overvalued in my opinion - you don't pay a player in excess of 500k if he is there just to distract the number one backman every week, and if he is a key forward (on 500k +) 35.30 for a season is not good enough.

    I hear you I'm not commenting on his value. However, GC I can fully see the attraction. What the stat sheet on a singular player rarely tells you is - How he contributes to others around him!

    I can fully see why Gold Coast would be interested in him. All be it they may want to talk him down with similar points to yourself.

    I should add if there is a "knock" on Tippett it would be more on accuracy - nothing to do with players around him - but that might be a case of looking at his heat maps which Im sure both Voss & McKenna have done (which I confess I have not done for some time). Game-plans vary from team to team.

    Not me. I've always seen Jones as a part of the future, but was a little suprised at how much love Gysberts got at the start of his career.

    Would be hard to do as FS is before Trade period so it would need to be offered prior to FS bidding

    Will go to a Qld club if he leaves melb no chance

    people. Pick 4 plus Morton.. i do not think we have any opportunity to get him.

    It is wroth alot of money and good picks, but good luck.. no chance in my opinion

    Also I think this is very moot, he is not upset or sick of Adelaide just wants To Go Home, he will stay in Adelaide before nominating for the draft or being traded to any state other than QLD

    Mitch just wanted to go home to family. We said "here's a truckload of cash and a job for your missus", Mitch said "awesome". Done.

    Brisbane is a shorter flight than Perth, come on down Tip!

    A fully fit forward like with Mitch Clark, Jurrah, howe and tippett. Sounds pretty good.

    When did you get back.

    FYI Jurrah is not coming back; he is gone.

    Would cost us a crack at Hogan, so pass.

    Save the "war chest" for OOC from gWS next year!

    We can't always be a team of 18-21 year olds... There's no promises Hogan will be better than Tip, we should have learned by now to go with proven abilities rather than gambles (no matter the odds)

    I get what you're saying, but in my mind if you're keen to leave then you can be convinced of other options, may take A LOT of convincing, but can happen

    and to segway, that’s exactly why we should take Viney regardless of the pick position.

    According to Herald Sun, a Melbourne-based team has entered the race for Kurt Tippett. In my opinion only Dees and Blues could afford him. Surely we can't do it again!!

  • Quote

    The first four words you typed spoilt the whole thing.

    Besides that he wants to go home, yes Clark wanted to to that as well, but Tippett I don't think so, think Q Lynch is more of a chance

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
