Bio
After injury stalled Kurt Tippett in his first year at the club the 200cm Queenslander burst onto the scene in Adelaide’s NAB Cup Final against St Kilda. His four goals nearly stole the game for the Crows and it marked the start of a promising season for the young ruckman/forward, who earned an AFL Rising Star nomination for his four goal effort against Melbourne in Round Eight. The 2008 Emerging Talent winner went on to kick 17 goals from his 19 games in 2008, and after being dropped in Round 17 fought his way back into the side for the Round 22 clash with the Western Bulldogs.
“It has been amazing; I love playing AFL,” Tippett said. “It’s what you always strive for is playing at the highest level and now I’m at that level it’s a good feeling. “I guess I’m just trying to improve and I’ve still got a fair way to go and that’s trying to show a bit more and do a bit more every week and hopefully improve my consistency and become a really consistent player.”
