Tippett deal struck with Swans: report

Yahoo!7 October 19, 2012, 9:13 am

Adelaide have reportedly caved into a deal from the Swans for Kurt Tippett, accepting a deal they refused a week ago.

Tippett, who nominated Sydney as his preferred trade destination, will reportedly be swapped for the Swans' pick 22 and ruckman/forward Jesse White.

White met with Crows coach Brenton Sanderson yesterday and reportedly completed a medical with the club.

According to News Limited, just last week the Crows rejected the same offer in the hopes of being able to deal with Greater Western Sydney.

They had hoped to lure ruckman Jonathan Giles to the club to help Sam Jacobs, but the Giants star chose to stay in Sydney on a three-year deal.

Tippett has copped a lot of criticism for the way he has handled the trade period after he originally gave assurances that if he left it would be to go home to Queensland.

The news also quashes any talk of any agreement that Tippett would be traded for a second round pick at the end of his contract.

Looks like I jumped the gun (and took this silly article as gospel). Everything I've heard from the club since indicates they're doing what they can to squeeze something out of this lemon in a difficult situation. Just another lesson to not believe everything you read!!

Adelaide just proved that Sydney can walk all over them. No wonder South Australia are called the back woods state.

Once he was out of contract the crows had no real options left other than something or nothing. The real problem was the unwillingness of the crows to drop him and run Jenkins in the finals so now he would be leaving a premiership team without a medal. The agents / managers have a lot to answer for

No Underarm_bowler you idiot, he was better off staying since the Crows are one of the better positioned teams to win a flag over the next five years, his move to Sydney could in turn backfire due to Sydney's aging list, Sydney will want to begin the rebuilding process as soon as possible due to the pending retirements that will occur in the next 2-3 maybe even four years. In reality this year was Sydney's best chance to win a flag before they lose most of their players due to retirement.

Better off going than staying.
