Swans big man Kurt Tippett will notch up a half century in the red and white this weekend.

Tippett is due to run out for his 50^th game for the Swans since arriving at the club in 2013.

The 28-year-old commences 2016 in peak form, having booted 44 majors last year despite spending half his time in the ruck.

This year he teams up with new recruit Callum Sinclair – both players having the capacity to shoulder the ruck duties as well as spend time up forward.

In February, Tippett told the Daily Telegraph he wants to be a Swan for life.
