Andy Maher has revealed on SEN Breakfast that Victorian clubs have showed significant interest in out of favour Sydney forward Kurt Tippett.

Tippett is contracted to the Swans until the end of 2018, but that hasn’t stopped rival teams circling the 30-year-old.

“A little birdy has told me Kurt Tippett may be of interest elsewhere and clubs are in that mode now,” Maher said.

“Tippett’s name was mentioned as a possibility to come to a Melbourne based club and the deal is already down the line. In terms of if it happens, Sydney is prepared to cover a fair bit of the contractual obligations for Kurt Tippett.

“It is a big financial impost and no club will want to take a 30-year-old Tippett on.”

Three-time All-Australian Nick Dal Santo thinks Tippett, who has played just five senior games this season, still has value.

“I don’t think his form warrants him being in Sydney’s team right now,” he said.

“I think he still has a purpose and place in the game. I think he could have a place in a Collingwood or Richmond. Both are crying out for a key forward, not in a Jack Riewoldt or Darcy Moore mould, but a big body that when you’re in trouble, and you need a bail out kick down the line, you can kick it to Tippett.”
