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.

    I don't think this is going away, I think draft tampering and salary cap rorting are serious issues and Adelaide could be in a world of trouble.

    Did you not read my penultimate post.

    WHERE IS THE DRAFT TAMPERING?

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    I hope the player managers get their butts kicked too.

    What a mess.

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
