This is where you are wrong, Sydney is unable to trump its competitors, it has lower picks, but Adelaide has to accept them as it agreed to this draft tampering arrangement. The very reason Mitch Clark came to Melbourne was that Freo was unable to satisfy Brisbane with the picks they had, Mitch was happy with both contracts, but the fact Melbourne could trump them in the trade period meant he came to us. This is the very process which has been rorted by Tippett's deal

The way I see it is that ( and correct me if I am wrong) Sydney's 1st pick is 23 and they offered this and Jessie White to Adelaide. They do not have a pick under 23.

As it stands Adelaide has not accepted the second round draft pick and therefore the draft has not been tampered.

And in actual fact pick 23 is Sydney's FIRST round pick so that would get around the 'draft me for a second round pick'

In fact Adelaide would not even accept a 1st round pick and this is even better the secret deal that was made.

Sydney's 2nd round pick is no 45 and if the secret deal is to be complied with, this is all Sydney has to offer.

So where is the tampering?

Nothing to worry about. Tippett will be long retired by the time the AFL completes the investigation.

What a pathetic non-issue. I will however accept the 1998 premiership cup, farcically stolen via Dr McIntyre, as recompense.

And we all thought Scully was unpopular with the crowd at the G this year. The reaction of the Adelaide supporters when Tippett plays there next year will be truly something to behold

What will happen is that the trade will go through because if it doesn't there could be court action (restraint of trade etc) which is where the AFL doesn't want to go.

I think Adelaide will be told to do the trade and the tampering and extra payment issues will go away.

The AFL and its intrepid team of investigators are nothing, if not thorough.

A few poorly phrased sentences uttered by a total buffoon in response to some leading questions from older, wiser and more experienced heads with ulterior motives has led to a three month investigation into something variously described as "tanking" or "experimenting" and whose end seems out of sight.

Consider Adelaide then. As evidence of salary cap rorting mounts, it's becoming clear that if the AFL is to conduct a proper investigation, its officers will need to examine the contracts, not only of all currently listed players, but those of players from past years as well.

Since the AFL cannot be told to hurry up matters, I fully expect this process to take months. Possibly years. Every nook and cranny must be explored and I can picture Wood and Clothier travailing over every inch of Rundle Mall, magnifying glasses in hand, in search of truth, justice and the AFL way!

Even if it takes until 2019 to get to the bottom of this, it's the only fair thing to do in the interests of our game.

Blucher and Lynch deserve to go.

And a review of the Scully deal is warranted as well given those two were involved up to their eyeballs

I was saying Velocity Sports were snake oil salesman over 18 months ago. They should be barred from representing AFL players permanently.

Why mate?

I sure don't want him back.

Only a small joke as I know what you mean.

Remember that saying "every dog has his day"

As I understand it, the only reason this came to light is because Tippett's father launched legal proceedings to enforce the additional agreement so Kurt could be traded to the Swans. The Crows forwarded the agreement on to the AFL to seek advice on whether it could be enforced.

Sounds like a case of dumb and dumber.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
