Swans set to take Tippett after GWS say no

Kurt Tippett is set to join AFL premiers Sydney in next week's pre-season draft after Greater Western Sydney officially withdrew their interest.

Former Adelaide forward Tippett, who will miss the first 11 games of the season for his role in salary cap breaches and draft tampering, nominated for Tuesday's pre-season draft and set down the financial terms of his contract.

It was thought Tippett's salary requirements meant only GWS and the Swans would be in a position to select the 25-year-old.

However, Giants chief executive David Matthews says the asking price of Tippett is too high and it wouldn't be prudent for the fledgling club to sign him.

    What I don't understand is why refusing to meet with a club prior to a draft (eg Tippett/GWS, Ball/any club) is not tampering with the draft. Seems to me any player can walk from a club, refuse to meet with any club other than the one they choose, then head to that club of choice.

    How is that not tampering with the draft?

    Draft is irrelevant except for first time listings. Only a matter of time before they "refuse to meet" certain clubs.

    Luke Ball did it,

    Sheedy on TV tonight regarding Tippett said "The PM doesn't get $900,00 pa and he's not PM material"

    He obviously believes HWFUA must be PM material...................frightening

    (still, given the current leadership quality of both parties, he might be on the money)

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • 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?
