Kurt Tippett

.... you forgot Thomas and Sidebottom who just re-signed also

Dont forget Ball

[picket fence 15,735]

We are looking more and more like "Lepers on Pluto" no one with any football pedigree wants to come to us. Getting Mitch Clark was a "Fluke" a tremendous fluke but remember he can't do it all himself!

[monoccular 16,576]

One can see Vlad's already prepared statement, pulled from the bottom drawer as soon as questions are asked: "The AFL has extensively investigated Collingwood's salary cap, and they have been found to be totally compliant"! Pull the other leg, Vlad.

Any quieter teams then the MFC so far this FA period?

Really wish we wouldn't put out articles with quotes such as 'We will leave no stone unturned'

It only adds to the disappointment when not much happens.

So what are Collingwood going to trade for him? He's not a free agent is he? What possible deal could they put forward that Adelaide would accept?

[Demons 32 235]

FFS guys no team is paying above the cap... not in this day and age, if they could, we would.

Fact is getting Tippet would mean they have accepted the loss of Wellingham and possibly traded Dawes.

Lynch will be on under 300k.

They can also underpay players because they are a succesful side.

Daisy, Swan, Beams, Reid, Dawes, Ball, Wellingham, Pendles.... all of them would be underpaid right now to what they could get in the open market.

Pick 17 (Wellingham trade) and 18. Maybe Dawes

Providing Dawes actually wants to leave the club as he is still contracted.

Goldsack hasn't signed yet either has he?

Source?

I didn't think you could have more than 2 veterans on your list? Or has that changed recently?

According to this article there is no such thing as a veterans list anymore.

Tippett will not be going to Pies.

They have Lynch, who would not have chosen Pies so early if he thought they would get Tippet

[stuie 7,374]

So far the offseason is just like our regular season, all chests out and strong words but when the action starts we're pi55weak as usual...

We were told "no stone left unturned", but so far we look like getting Byrnes and maybe Pedersen, with Goddard, Lynch, Tippett, Caddy, Knights, Pearce, Monfries, Chaplin, Wellingham, all gone or telling us "no thanks".. If we rely on 18 year old draft picks again we might as well give up now

[picket fence 15,735]

Yep thats the way it seems!

[stuie 7,374]

Tippett will not be going to Pies.

Not true. Dawes will get traded, Lynch will play back up ruck, Cloke and Tip forwards. Simple.

[stuie 7,374]

And now Cam Pedersen's manager has said it's likely he will be a Pie next year. WTF????!!!!

[DeeZee 6,905]

We will end up with Dawes,Rodan and Byrnes...maybe a Koby Stevens.

[PaulRB 6,078]

There would be opportunities if the Pies were forced into a fire sale to gather picks and clear cap space to get Tippet.

Could be some bargains on offer.

Time to stop listening to SEN, stuie.

Just because it's been quiet, doesn't mean we won't be leaving no stone unturned!

[RalphiusMaximus 6,000]

So that's three or four key forwards who have all been leaked as singing with the pies today. Someone is playing silly buggers trying to throw everyone off the scent of what they are really up to.

So we've failed because we haven't signed a $1m a year player in the first day and a half of the trading period?

[stuie 7,374]

It's only been quiet for us though. Everyone else is having a crack!

[stuie 7,374]

No, we've failed because we haven't signed any good players and lots of other teams already have. Simple enough?

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Time to stop listening to SEN, stuie.

Didn't SEN tell us yesterday that we'd signed Lynch?

[Sir Why You Little 35,310]

The Filth are going to have to have a garage sale if this all happens.

This is where we pounce.

Stuie. Sit down & wait...quietly.
