He has a heart like a split pea, it's incredible he's still getting a game.
What's he on a year? No wonder the players have the shits on.


i got potted for saying he wasnt going that great. care to elaborate wubbsy?


Last year he was all Australian form.
. This year he's been injured. He has plenty of friends underperforming.

I am guessing we will offload him at the end of the season to free up space. Which we will have a fair bit off


He didn't even make the squad of 40.

Averaged 13 disposals and 3 marks a match along with 25 hit outs, I'd like to know which AA spot his form warranted him vying for?

He got injured, last third of the season... Every media outlet and experts were saying it prior to injury

You can paint this picture anyway you like, but paying Tippett this contract has been a massive failure, especially considering the form line you would have seen at his time at the Crows (bar one good final against Hawthorn).

Sums up his whole career thus far, promises the world and delivers an atlas.

I never said it was a success...

He was very good at the cows and you supporters conveniently forget that. He always took the number 1 and sometimes number two as well, which is why Walker looked like a million bucks when he was there and than struggled for good period of time to adjust after he left.

I reckon needs to ruck more, if he is going to stay (which I doubt he will)

He was poop at the crows, a one trick pony, needed the move.

You are right though, he looks at his handiest when he's in the ruck and getting a bit of grunt in his game, he seems lazy and soft when he sluts around the goals.

Oh Well we will just trade Tippett for Dusty, seems like something Richmond might do...

He'll be at Collingwood next year I would think. They desperately need a big body up front to help Moore out, Cox isn't the answer. Maybe Jesse White can hand over his guernsey to Tippett?

There was a patch through the mid-latter part of the season ( post the squad of 40 being announced ) where he was indeed the form big man of the competition. Rucking most of the game and drifting forward. Was probably the best footy of his career for about 8-10 weeks.

Having said that though, he's got claims to be the most over paid footballer in the competition.

Wouldn't think you'd be freeing up too much as I reckon you'd still have to pay a fair %age of his wage to any potential suitor

His stats weren't great and although I guess it's hard with such brilliant footballers around him, he failed to poll a Brownlow vote.

Collingwood want Reid, and there is no way in my opinion the swans or Sam would make or want this to happen.

When is Reid going to live up to his potential?

I've rated him since he come on to the scene but he hasn't delivered on a regular basis yet, do they need to offload Tippett in order for Reid to reach his full potential?

I reckon Reid needs to go down back. CHB...
