GREATER Western Sydney will recruit out-of-contract forward Kurt Tippett - if it can afford him.

Giants CEO Dave Matthews confirmed the club had today discussed the controversial former Crow at a football sub-committee meeting.

"Now that it looks like Kurt Tippett is into one of the next couple of drafts clearly it means he is someone we should be discussing. We did that today, we had a football sub-committee and Sheeds was in that. He was the subject of plenty of discussons,"

Could be top 3.

what does it mean to us?

    I wonder if that would still take Grundy? If so, it would give us a clear choice of Toumpas or probably WInes

    Curious about this line. How many discussion could they have had about Tippett?

    Surely, "Should we get Tippett?" is about the extent of it.

    If Goddard is worth pick 13, Tippett would have to be around the mark. Can just see him ending up at Sydney, however.

    i think the AFL will want to punish all concerned with this sour dealing.

    So I can't see the suns getting him in any way, nor the swans, & I think the Crows will be made example of. And Kurt, boy oh boy, could be way out West?

    :)

    What does happen if he's delisted & goes free agency?

    The guy wants about $1mill per year for 4 yrs minimum. How can GWS possibly find that kind of space in their salary cap at this stage in their planning for 2013? They'd have to delist a couple of decent players on $300-400k p/a, surely. Can't see it happening. But it'd be nice if he went 1, 2 or 3 in the ND. Give us more choice at 4. Go for it, Sheeds!

    I think GWS will take him in either the preseason or proper draft.

    Will be really interesting if he goes in the national draft,as this will leave us to choose between Wines and Toumpas or Wines and Grundy.

    If they take him in the preseason draft,then Ben Jacobs is ours.

    Dimitriou will invent a new salary cap concession for GWS is they want Tippett.

    This is going to be interesting in how it affects Sando and the mob onfield at Adeaide. Compared to the off-field incidents our club put up with this year it is nothing, but still, losing a valuable player and then having a whole bunch of off-field issues to deal with will test the crows.

    You are almost certainly right. So much for Dumbitriou's oft quoted "integrity of the game...of the draft...of the salary cap etc etc..."

    Very interesting situation. The AFL must have a heavy hand in all this, but at the same time do not wish to end in court.

    Court is a possibility make no mistake.

    Does anyone really know what GW$'s salary cap actually is?

  • Quote

    GWS could well pick him up with there pick 12, I doubt they will use their first 3 picks on him.

    Tippet will probably end up a giant and no sanctions will come his way. The integrity of the A.F.L will be upheld.

    Yep, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they new of it before the media, & then have to take steps to make a show out of it.

    They can't have a mercinary bring down the only controls that stop open slather.

    The Lions have a shot before that I think.

    #Edit: But what about the delisted free agents clause. How will that work?

    They do, but will they pay the price? I still don't think GWS will take him top 3 but let's wait and see, hope they do.

    He would have to be delisted to b a free agent and I don't think Adelaide have done that yet, have they?

    Tippett was offered a contract, so cannot be considered a delisted free agent.

    Also, GWS have picks 1, 2, 3, 12 and 14 in the ND; if they want him, they can take him with pick 12 or 14. Lions first pick is 8; GC 13...... and swans 23...lol.

    If he goes into PSD, he has GWS, GC, MFC and lions to get past before swans. Who knows, but I would guess we have the SC space to get him (if we want, and he is not de-registered).

    The idea of a GC land developer getting screwed is very appealing to me. :o

    Ed: what I don't understand is how a money grubbing, elitist, egotistical, manipulative piece of [censored] fits into the swans famous "culture". Go figure.

    Agree with you on this, I think if he is available at 12 they will have a serious look but won't use their first 3 picks, unfortunately for us.

    I think that is a good point if Sydney did draft him for the $1m per year contract the so called "Bloods" culture will be a sham. If and when this occurs it will be interesting to see how Paul Roos and to some extent Gerard Healy try and spin this. I know I will be emailing "On The Couch" next year if he did end up at Sydney. lol

    I think contracts end prior to the draft.

    After he's out of contract, he's a free agent, I think.

    No. As he was offered a contract by the crows, which he rejected, he is NOT a free agent; he must go into the ND and/or PSD.

    Thanks 'Mono', that clears it up a bit more for me. I knew he wouldn't come under a free agent but wasn't sure of the technical reasons why.

  • Quote

    He's been offered a contract so he can't be a delisted FA and the AFL told Adelaide they can't delist him now so he has to go into one of the drafts. I'd be amazed if GWS used 1, 2 or 3 on him - coud you have seen them trading any of these picks straight up for him? Much more likely Brisbane at 8, GWS at 12, GC at 13 or Sydney at 23 - maybe the Dogs at 6.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
