Patton and the Giants were putting in the building blocks of their pre-season training yesterday, sweating it out during their first skill session.
His No. 1 draft pick from last year, Patton, is set to make a big impact in 2013 with his first full pre-season under his belt.
Coach Kevin Sheedy said Tippett's versatility would be the key to fitting him into the Giants' already talented forward line.
It was their first full training session without Israel Folau, the first proper pre-season for No. 1 draft pick Jonathon Patton and the first declaration from Giants players about their desire to sign Adelaide Crow Kurt Tippett.
"In the first few days of pre-season I haven't felt any pain."
Patton's January surgery delayed his senior debut until the round-12 match against Richmond at Skoda Stadium - and severely limited his impact in 2012.
"If he comes here, Jeremy and I will be looking forward to working with him in the forward line."
"Going from under-18s football with no pre-season into the AFL was a massive step."
",High Heels Red Bottom Gomorrhe Flat;It's feeling really good at the moment," Patton said.
"He's a former basketball player and well over 200cm," Sheedy said.
While Sheedy would be happy to pinch Tippett from under the noses of the Swans he has plenty to smile about within his ranks.
Patton played just seven matches for the fledgling club in his debut season after flying to Sweden for surgery on his patella tendon early in the year.
"Now that I've had a break - and rehab-ed it a lot more - my leg is a lot stronger.
"Clubs are always looking at that spare ruck/forward who can come in and make it happen,High Heels Red Bottom Lady Corset 150mm."
"When the boys were playing NAB Cup I was just starting to run," Patton said.
"If Kurt came to the Giants it would be awesome for the club," Patton said. "He's hitting his prime and he has already shown what sort of a player he is.
Patton said he would have no problem should he and Jeremy Cameron end up sharing the Giants' forward line with the former Crow.
Tippett is the subject of an AFL investigation into the contract he signed in 2009 with the Crows but that has not deterred the Giants' enthusiasm for the big man.
"It was definitely very difficult coming in without a pre-season.
