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.

we should offer adel our pick 4 for tippet...force gold coast to use there pick 2.. ensures viney falls through to 2nd round.

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

Word on the street..

Mitch was disillusioned at the Lions, i do not get this feeling from Kurt tbh

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!

If this is a remote possibility we have to make it happen.

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 think it was more than that, generally unhappy at his role ect at brisbane

I dont see this in Tippet at Adelaide

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!!

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
