Kurt Tippett is a ruck- forward which is what we need.  

Charlie Dixon showed last night what a weapon a huge unit can do in the fwd line. 

We all probably agree that gawn-pedo is our best ruck combination with either one able to rest forward but for some reason pedo only gets a go when we are desparate. Taking this into account plus Pedo's age, if Sydney footed part of the wage bill why wouldn't we look at tippet as an upsize for next season?

i wouldn't bother with him based on the cost and his output.

Forget Tippett. Get Dixon.

I'd be interested in looking at him if they traded him to us for "free" because we picked up his final year contract salary ~$800k

Might see a much bigger, not being pushed off the ball, O'mac down forward next year, "laterally thinking"

Yes Reid has more ability. The pace of the game seems to have passed Tippett by. He wouldn't be worth a lot of the open market and I think is too slow defensively when he goes forward.

If we snagged Lever and Weids doesn't develop you would have to give it a crack you'd think.

I believe he had a trigger clause in his contract which enabled him to extend this year on ridiculous money. I don't think he is contracted next year. His salary will halve wherever he is. 

Firstly, NO, because he's the wrong demographic for our list. Too old now and doesn't bring enough. 

At his best he's a great player. He hasn't played at his best in his nearly 4 years at the Swans. Had one great game in his career. That prelim with the Crows.

yep. he is the classic example of a player grossly overpaid who has little incentive to perform at his best. he had it made before he made it.

Would think Goodwin would know a bit about Tippet from his Adelaide days, may be a relationship between the two. 

Wouldnt rule him out, better than Reid IMO...

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
