The K-Tip Thread

[Demon3564 9]

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?

[Ted Lasso 17,123]

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

[Demonland 66,454]

He gets injured a lot too. 

[titan_uranus 22,754]

Tippett is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most over-rated player in the AFL presently.

A complete and utter spud.

[beelzebub 22,324]

Generically the type perhaps

Individually , not the pick.

[AzzKikA 2,371]

No thanks, too expensive for little output.

[Moonshadow 16,409]

Yeah nah

[Biffen 12,431]

Biggest ,most overpaid,dumbest looking spud in the comp.

[FarNorthernD 5,848]

Has a touch of the Ty Vickery's about him, but better paid

[hardtack 10,149]

I'd look at Reid before I looked at Tippet.

Good luck.

[old55 21,635]

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

[whatwhat say what 19,680]

if he cost nothing in a trade it could be okay as an interim for a year or two.

but he won't be in the game much beyond that.

he's on a ridiculous amount of money for his output

[DubDee 21,264]

I prefer K-Dot

[Satyriconhome 10,010]

Why do we need a ruck forward?

I would be absolutely torn if we had to choose between Vickery Tippett and Jenkins  NOT

[Willmoy1947 3,814]

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...
