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)

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
