The latest is Tippett will nominate for the draft.

I hope the player managers get their butts kicked too.

Yep, would be great to see Blucher deregistered too. Same [censored] that strung us along with Scully

The findings of the tanking investigation wont even be noticed with all this going on!

Tippet, Clark, Dawes, Pederson.

I like the sound of that.


I doubt we'd get Tippett. Would screw with our salary cap. 3 players in our forward line taking up over $2 million. Can't see it happening.

More likely to go to GC/GWS I would have thought. But I don't think we'd turn him down on the basis that it messes with our balance. Good players are good players.

I guess he could do a Ball and whinge and moan loudly enough so that no-one takes him until Sydney's first pick, or some other club he actually wants to play for.

This story has legs.

So the AFL will allow him to enter into the draft and be picked up by, say, a New South Wales team?

Why does it matter where the club is from?

Honestly TP, I don't think I'd want him at Melbourne.

We have plenty to spare with Rivers, Moloney, Green, Jurrah, Martin, Morton, Gysberts gone....

I'm sure we could afford Tippett. But what would it do to our remaining salary cap and our ability to retain players in the future.

Also after bringing in Pederson and Dawes would Tippett be needed or make either of those trades redundant?

No this gives the AFL time to decided how much pain to inflict on Crows and Tippet. He's playing nowhere next year.

Guys he Tippet will not be de registered any time soon.

His lawyers would go straight to court and the whole AFL system would come crashing down.

If guilty he will be fined heavily somewhere down the track

Yeah, there is no way the AFL will make him sit out the year.

GWS in the box seat here I think.


Knowing Neeld he would take Tippet over Wines.

Neelds care factor of our forward line is 999999999999

Neelds care factor of our midfield is 0

Lucky Brock McLean doesnt play for Adelaide - otherwise he would have to leave

Gosh darn those high morals of his

If this isn't tongue in cheek you have well and truly out done yourself here.

FFS

Next time your practicing hold the ball as low down as possible before dropping to your foot and laces out

Yeah ok mate, whatever gets you off.

Learn not to get so worked up over peoples opinions, you might hurt yourself one day.

Think you are spot on 'old dee'. The AFL won't risk it.

...and by the way anyone who thinks Sydney didn't know about this deal is kidding themselves.

This is what I think will happen:

Tippett will be cleared of any wrongdoing, he will enter the draft with a clause in his contract to be paid "x" amount of dollars for a NSW team, GWS will be priced out and he will end up at Sydney with pick 23.

Meanwhile, the AFL will come out and say that Sydney's bonus Salary Cap room has been removed after the investigation declares that the price of living is negligible.

This will only happen, of course, after the National Draft concludes with the newly-signed Kurt Tippett donning the Red and White.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
