He really is wasted talent playing AFL.
Awesome League player versus mediocre Aussie rules player.

More money in their salary cap for Tippett now!

I wouldn't even say he's mediocre.
Glad this backfired on Demetriou.
Should've spent the million clams on developing the game at grassroots level in Western Sydney.
Or better yet, they should've just put a team in Tassie or NT, where a marquee player wouldn't have been required.

Pretty sure the AFL paid his wage, not GWS.

Exactly my thoughts, bad luck Kurt at least you have your family in Sydney to console you

[Jim05]

You beauty, will make a great addition to the mighty Eels

I struggle to see GWS surviving for very long anyway, right in the middle of Rugby League heartland.. with Folau going back, the few if any league followers will go back to league with him.

[Q.]

Giving up already...

[mighty_tiger_79]

press conference on now

[Frosty]

$6 million over 4 years - walks out after 2 years ($3 million) after 13 games, 80 disposals total and 2 goals.

That equals $37,500 every time he touched the football - where do I sign up?

SEN 1116 reporting a theory that the AFL will now "advise" Tippett to play at GWS and there will be a lesser penalty applied to him.

basically andy is saying you play at GWS you miss 3 games

go to sydney or brisbane and miss 15

surely he should receive the same penalty no matter where he ends up

How many does he get if he stays at the Crows?

[mighty_tiger_79]

0


but the crows start at -16 on the table for doing dodgy deals like leeds

[dedja]

So let me get this right.

The AFL can self rort the salary cap by paying someone who has never touched a footy before $6M over 3 years on behalf of a club, but if any other established club pays above odds then they throw the book at them?

Draft tampering by pursuading KT to go to GWS?

[dedja]

yep, add that to the rap sheet ...

[HH3]

[dedja]
