COULD today be the day Adelaide and Sydney broker a deal for key forward Kurt Tippett?

Tippett's defection from the Crows has dominated the AFL's marathon trade period which is now well into its third week.

But a deal could be struck as early as today which would see the once homesick Crow head to Sydney in exchange for Jesse White, 24.

White will today meet with Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson and the Crows medical team at West Lakes.

Swans boss Andrew Ireland said talks with the Crows were progressing well.

"We think it's getting closer and I hope to have some news by the end of the week," he said.

Tippett walked out on the Crows last month under the guise of returning to his home state of Queensland.

But the 200cm forward shelved his homesickness when the reigning premiers bobbed up with a lucrative $1m a year offer.

Adelaide and Sydney must reach agreement on a trade for Tippett by next Friday's deadline. If not, he will fall into the pre-season draft where he will move away from the Crows without compensation.
