Will Cordy be our Tippett.

[chef]

Watching the replay of the Crows win on the weekend got me thinking. Has Cordy got the frame and talent to give us a Tippett style target at full forward?

Re: Will Cordy be our Tippett.

Gee I hope so........has a basketball background like Tippett. Jesse White is another who comes to mind. Seems to be the rage at the moment, players with basketball backgrounds. Tippett and White certainly can clutch a ball.

Re: Will Cordy be our Tippett.

Whats annoying is we traded pick 29 in that years draft to get one Andrew McDougal when we could have used it to secure Mr Tippett, but thems the breaks....

That isn't correct.

We had promised Bris a 2nd rd pick for Aker (we had pick 29). We traded pick 29 + 55 (or there abouts) to WC in return for picks 34 + 60 + Doogs.

We then traded pick 34 to Bris for Aker.

We had always committed a 2nd rd pick to Bris, but we did some clever trading to give them a worse pick.

If I recall rightly had we kept our 2nd round pick (29) we would have used it on Nathan Krakour and not Tippett so it wouldn't have mattered. Such was Scott Clayton's want.

Correct.

Re: Will Cordy be our Tippett.

I stand corrected, just wishing we had him in the team now. But I'd take Aker again if we had the choice again.

I don't think Cordy will ever have a frame like Tippett. I just hope Cordy has some mongrel about him.

Mongrel is just a nice attribute

It's such a great sport isn't it?

I doubt he will be a real power player like Tippet but a versatile forward who does a bit of ruck work would be the mid term aim. Hard to label a current similar player I would have thought,

Hopefully he's not like Josh Fraser.

Hopefully he's not like Josh Fraser.

If Fraser had have been managed better from the outset you might have seen a vastly improved footballer. I wouldn't be upset if Cordy ended up something like Fraser albeit far better value up forward.
