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?

    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.

    Will they be forced to give us back a 21 year old Scott Thompson?

    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.

    Just on trade radio now. No Tippet deal allowed by the AFL.

    Good. He deserves to be deregistered.

    In fact The crows are not allowed to do anymore trading in this draft. AFL have raided and taken computers records etc. Don't think that has every happened before.

    I hope the player managers get their butts kicked too.

    What a mess.

    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

    Not officially de-registered.. But officially not allowed to be traded today..

    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.

    The game, after the warning is understood.

    see Lan' ' ' 'mstrong's ways of treating sport & competitions.

    This would have been decided days ago & now the public theater is being seen.

    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.

  • Quote

    The Crows and Player managers should burn for this.

    Tippett is just a silly boy. The clubs and managers drew up the contracts.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
