Kurt Tippett's playing future?

[Johno6]

i do not have a problem with what KT has done, credit to him!

[MatteeG]

Get the darts out!!

LOL- another great 'effort' by the crapvertiser.

After the choir debacle do crows fans really need more of this carp? You are gonna cop it again!

[Baron Greenback]

What about the back page of today's tiser?

No credibility for that mob. Terrible back page.

[overloaded]

shocking

what a disgarce sadvertiser

[leftlegger]

Advertiser = bloody discrace

I actually think Tippet moving on to chase bucks is great for the Crows.
Frees up a lot of things. Player opportunities (McKernan, Jenkins etc), more money to help retain their stars (eg Dangerfield, Walker, Sloane etc.)
And some decent draft picks to look to the future.

Despite losing a big unit, there is plenty of upside to him pissing off.

The back page of the Tiser belongs in the "no wonder" thread as well.

[Rik E Boy]

LMAO. I don't think even the infamous Geelong Addy stooped as low as that (well, they might have but I don't think so). At least Geelong has an excuse for a small town mentality.

When Tippett gets concussed in Round 1 next year the Crows fans will be claiming it was a genius decision.

...or it was their dart that did it.

Back in town and walked into the servo and saw the back page and put the paper down refusing to buy it. Just stupid. I already own a target with a face of Delta Goodrem on it in a draw next to my bed.....

No wonder some AFL players prefer playing in NSW or Queensland when you see the back page of the tiser today.

Ha!

[The Sleeping Giant]

thought the extra money they have in the salary cap was to keep players there because of the home sickness issues?

You thought wrong. Cost of living.

aka the AFL want Sydney to be successful so they can grow the game there

I agree.

Interestingly, the "AFL PLAYER RULES" don't even appear to mention cost of living or inflation anyway.

10.14 Additional Amount – Sydney Swans
The Total Player Payments for the Sydney Swans shall be the amount
determined from time to time by the Commission.
10.15 Additional Amount – Brisbane Lions
The Total Player Payments for the Brisbane Lions shall be the amount
determined from time to time by the Commission.

No mention of tin foil hats either.

[woodublieve12]

still working out how tippett was on the backpage before norwood!!!

[Panther32]

I am not a crows supporter but I reckon you Crows are better off without him! $800k per season was well over what he is worth but to pay him $1 mill per season is f@#king ridiculous!
Ifit was your top three players then yes get a little upset but it's not.
Jenkins has more upside and if you pick up Reid or a decent player AND a pick you are way in front.
It leaves $800k to also hit the free agency list, grab Giles and someone else, $hite what are you complaining about???
Tex is your gun forward, not Tippett!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Here you go.

Wow, they are arguing against change.

Thats a little bit of a surprise.

Hopefully the allowance is increased. Only fair when comparing house prices in Alberton too Surry Hills.

Lol, so are you suggesting a town house in surry hills would be worth more than a burnt out car on alberton. For sakes of comparassion of course .
