Just heard this inside word.
Schache signed with Brisbane because we pulled out to get Tippet.
Coaches and esp senior players believe we are in the immediate premiership window.
Correct mail as of last weekend and as much as it sucks apologies to Jackstar.

Is it a FACT Dooks?

Not sure what to think with this. Kurt is very average and at his age this is a backward step if true.
-
I heard that our push for Tippett is an acknowledgment that we should've held onto Vickery
-
I just hope he costs us nothing and we still go for a tall in the draft.

Had they known Griffiths would go down, you're probably right.

I'm glad he has gone otherwise we would be playing him, and he was a big part of our problem. No passion at all which equates to efforts like the last couple of games last year.
Glad Griff is injured too, he is worse than TV when it comes to passion.

Has Kent Kingsley MKII written all over it.

While I get we all have players we dislike; some people go as far as to say they hate certain players
But to actually be glad or take some sort of pleasure out of any player being injured is ...well.... low
Especially the type of injury problem Griffiths has. It is extremely serious.
Really cannot believe that anyone would be glad about it :huh3

dont think he actually meant he is glad he has that injury.
Its unfortunate he has this type of head trauma injury, but i agree with BT, but to be fair i have thought that for many years
-
I'd actually seriously look at getting Levi Casboult
Strong mark, can pinch hit in the ruck and his kicking for goal has improved out of sight
Offers more that Tippett the mercenary

It's true. Francois Hackson was the first to think that.

Hope that's the case Angus, because Ben's issue is as I said serious
Been many players I dislike but would never be glad that any of them are injured

I'd much prefer Casboult too, but he would cost a fair bit I'd reckon. Showing a bit of potential lately.

Can't Kurt Kickett

I guess the bright side to all this is that if Tippet comes to us and it doesn't work out, then we will get a second rounder from Hawthorn the year after.

Casboult is an unrestricted Free Agent who has just put contract talks with Carlton on hold.
He wouldn't cost us anything (salary only) if we could talk him in to coming across....
-
not going to happen (Tippett to richmond)
-
Lennon for Casboult.
Don't mind Lennon either (one of the few).
It is in our favour, but Carlton owe us.
(Hampson and Yarran)

Casboult is unrestricted free agent. Would not cost us anything other than $

You know we've messed up when we're talking about Tippett and Casboult :chuck

...and only at Richmond would the idiots responsible still have a job....

Gotta think this is an acknowledgment of Griffiths gone and not good enough and they have concerns rightly so that Chol may not make it.
One thing tippett would be a significant upgrade on both Griffiths chol and before that Vickery in the ruck.
As a fwd id say he is a fair whack in front of those blokes as well.He aint nothing special and at 30 he would want to come cheap. But there is no doubting and im not sure it says a lot ,he would be a decent upgrade on any tall fwd/ ruck type we have or had..
He has been good enough in the ruck to allow us to give Nankervis decent time on the pine or even have a few rests up fwd without losing too much.
As for kicking goals when fwd he goes at 1.84 a game for a ruck/fwd that is not too bad.
To finish not saying i want him just pointing out a few reasons why we would look.
Structurally Id be okay with a fwd set up like this
Bolton - Gunston - Tippett
Butler - Riewoldt - Rioli
Tippet would go into the ruck Nankervis gets a rest on the bench and we dont lose too much. we could then rotate a medium mid like Martin and caddy when he does go into the ruck and your not losing too much structure.
Again this is not an endorsement for us to get him but it is pretty darn clear we need a viable mature ruck/fwd option on the list, as we only have Chol and hes apparently a fair way off it and may not even make it.

A touch dramatic WP.
I'm glad Griffiths is injured otherwise Dimma would be playing him and he IMO has been part of the old problem at Tigerland. We have played with such little passion for such a long time.
His body has let him down basically since he walked through the doors and yet 7 years on he is still taking up a spot on our list while he continues to get paid. If he has to be on our list I would prefer not to see him.
I hope the club pushes him to retire because we need to move on.
I'd also like a few others that I think are the problem injured too. I don't wish they were dead but gone.
Why is that so wrong if I think a player isn't the answer?

You're glad he's injured or glad he just can't play? Because yes there is a difference. Being glad about someone suffering continual concussions is horrible.

Latest rumour is that we're into Tim O'Brien from Hawthorn.....

I like the kid and don't get why he isn't a regular for them.

As I've already said, if he was fit Dimma would be playing him so I'm saying I'm glad he is injured or if you want to sugarcoat it, I'm glad he is not playing.
I'd prefer to watch Richmond play like they have this year than how they did last year and a lot of that has got to do with what I think Griffith lacks. So if it's injury that keeps him out of the side than so be it.
I'll add that I hope Griffiths is ok personally but I've seen enough.

Chol is fine, needs more time to grow into the game, just like most lanky talls.

Chol will be nothing more than a hack with a highlight reel.....

Yes to this :thumbsup. He is just the type of mobile key forward we need and would be cheap.

Would be handy :shh
Swans can pay half his wage thanks
