Michaelangelo Rucci's tweeting that Gorringe is doing a medical at Adelaide. Would think that it's tied into a potential Tippett to GC deal.

Please for the love of god lets make this happen.

Strong want for Tippet.

"And the Crows are learning of a third club - one based in Melbourne rather than AFL premier Sydney - that has joined Queensland-based clubs Gold Coast and Brisbane in seeking the 25-year-old giant."

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Let's hope Tip has a bit of Mitch Clark syndrome when it comes to his homesickness cure

Think it said a major melbourne club. We are not that.

Slow down people. Think this through. Tippett is leaving a club that came within 1 kick of a GF. Why? He has mates there. They have offered him a very large contract. The word is that Lions and GC have offered a bit less, but his reason for leaving was to go home. Now we have Carlton and Sydney mentioned. Is it not possible that he is going home, but his manager is using other clubs to get more money from GC or Lions.

My prediction is he will be playing in Queensland and probably GC, for pick 2, or a player and a lower pick that they might get for Caddy. GC will then use pick 2 on Jack Martin and won't nominate JV.

If Adelaide get their hands on Pick 2, they will definitely nominate Viney!!

They can't, f/s bidding happens next Monday in which GC will still be in posession of pick 2. Viney can only go to Melbourne, GWS or GC.

Correct.

I thought this was just the FA part of the offseason. Then I thought the FS part came next, THEN trades.....so Adelaide can't get pick two before FS bidding??

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

What about Clarky, he wanted to go home but we got him. Anything is posabble if your willing to pay the right price.

They will take Toumpas.

Why not Grundy, as a replacement for Tippett?

I don't think they will go a tall as they brought in Jenkins last year to cover for Tippett plus they also have McKernan. Toumpas is a top quality kid ready to go, not saying Grundy isn't but they already have Jacobs (still a young player and stiff to miss AA) doing the ruck work and being used as a forward pinch hitter in the ruck would not help his (Grundy's) development. Rucks need to ruck, the WC situation is different as Cox is coming to the end, it's a succession plan and both him and Niknat are handy up forward, Jacobs is not.

I just don't think it's a given that they would go with Grundy, it looks right as a replacement and they may well go that way but Toumpas would be hard to pass up. To me he is at least on par with Whitfield and I hope he falls through to us, I've been on about us getting him since last year.

They wont get pick 2 for Tippet that is massive overs, it will be something like Gorringe and a second round pick imo.

edit maye the pick they get for Caddy will be more apporopriate but something like that Gorringe and a pick between 10-20

He is 203 cm, 25 years old, normally plays between 18-22 games a year, kicks around 40-50 goals per year, maybe bit low on his accuracy, reliable to take the number one defender every time, Adelaide paying him around 600K per year - but he is "inconsistent"????

I would have thought he might be poorly understood in Victoria - but highly sought after in Queensland - strange. Geez if this bloke played in a Collingwood jumper and was a Victorian, there would not be a club in Victoria that would not be after him.

that's true. a footnote at 25 he's still maturing.

Why not offer them Lawrence and our 5th round draft pick ? You do realise that the crows have put a contract on the table that will earn him in the vacinity of $700K per year. Does that sound like a player you would nab for Bate and a second round draft pick ?

Direct trade for Cook :-))

If Co#$%#%#ood get Tippett I'll cry.

Perhaps we should have a good look at Collingwood's salary cap Eddie (the man in the glass house).

On SEN they said Tippett has asked for a trade, not necessarily to QLD.

It's on Adelaide website too.

It's also on the link I eventually posted above, too. Would love us to go after him...

Didn't see that sorry.

How's Adelaide's development (and then subsequent loss) of talented KPPs been.

In recent years they've lost Bock, Otten, Gunston and now Tippett (off the top of my head) and they still have blokes like Rutten, Talia and Walker running around for them.

I rated their list very highly a couple of years ago, they really have been unlucky, especially with the expansion clubs.

I will too. Matt Rendell ... %^#*

Get him.

FFS get him now.

Also, get him.
