Reported on 5aa tonight that when Tippett signed his new contract there is a get out clause to allow him to go to GC at end of 2012 season. Do you Crow fans think he will stay or move on at end of next year?

I think it's just Caroline Wilson latching onto some material to fill her column (the original speculation was in the Age today).
I think he's no more or less of a chance of leaving than anyone else on the Adelaide list. In fact, I think the Gold Coast have plenty of promising key forwards on their list and would be mad to compromise their development for a key forward who hasn't exactly set the world alight in the last couple of years.
Kurt will stay IMO.

Wishful thinking. If Wilson was just going to randomly select a player, wouldn't she write about a player in Victoria?

I thought I heard the club of his choice.
What did Adelaide get out of this deal?

Hes a bit dopey if he moves now. If value has decreased massively. He definitly wont be getting any 700K offers at the moment.

Might not get the same coin, but has a family and girlfriend back home. And the fact that GC will win a flag long before the Crows

As long as the Crows re-sign Taylor Walker, not particularly bothered.

I don't think so. GC would still have plenty of salary cap money to play with, and big forwards who can take a contested mark aren't falling out of trees.

Sorry ill take that back, should read "IMO GC will win a flag long before the Crows"
I can see them playing finals within 3 years and pushing for a GF spot within 4-5, sorry but cant see the Crows doing that and maybe thats what the big fella is thinking aswell

think of the lifestyle
playing alongside the son of god would be tempting, imagine leading out with him running forward with the ball

Ditto this. Tippett is so, so one dimensional.
Don't get me wrong, I'd certainly like to keep Tippo, but if we lose him no big deal.

No big deal if you lose him? Bloody hell, seems like he got a pretty big deal for you to keep him.
Perhaps he was just waiting to see what sort of squad the GC assembled in the first year or two and could then decide to jump across to a young team on the rise?
If this turns out to be true Adelaide will have major egg-on-face. Sign a bloke to a huge deal to keep him for two year when you know at the end his intention is to move anyway.

All speculation.
he will play for the crows next year, that is certain.
After that, who knows. If he speaks up and makes his intentions clear, the news should be positive for the crows. The more silent he is next year the shakier it looks.
re: the tippo vs walker debate.
I'd take Tippo over walker anyday, would much prefer to watch both play together though.

Spot on, I too would take Tippett over Walker every day of the week .. No disrespect intended to Walks either.
