First Scully, now Tippett.

The AFL should deregister and ban them.

'We sold our soul' on Tippett deal: Reid

Lynch has been liberal with the truth before as we all know.

I wonder what THEY'RE hiding ?? Lol

Kurt's Dad has a job in Sydney......

Karma bites again. Hope fat cat Bulcher and Co get deregistered.

In short: Lynch is dumb.

The club has always claimed the extra clause was instigated by Tippett’s father, Tony, and his manager, Peter Blucher, whose own reputation and that of Alastair Lynch’s Velocity Sports is under serious scrutiny. But Adelaide, to its eternal regret, agreed to it.

What is it with this mob and players fathers....

It all made sense once this company was named.

Saul Goodman inc. in real life!

Agree. I am also told he is not a nice guy.

Agree. This is far, far worse than experimenting with player's positions on the field.

Kurt's Dad has a job in Sydney......

Apparently so does Kurt's brother.

better call Saul!

ok maybe i've been working too hard, but i can't completely get my head around exactly what this deal means. anyone able to explain it simply?

From what I can see, they signed an official AFL contract and then signed a second contract which was kept from the AFL. The second contract said that after his official contract expired the Crows would trade Tippet to the club of his choice in exchange for a second round pick. This is the draft tampering bit, and to be honest I think it's a pretty weak case although the AFL will hit them with something for having a secondary contract that was not submitted to the authorities.

There is also some indication that Adelaide agreed to give him a lump sum severance payout of some sort, hence the salary cap questions. If they have in fact agreed to do this, the amount would have to be included in this year's salary cap and as such they may well be found to be over the limit. I think this is where any real penalties could come from.

LOL. Love it WYL.

Is Phil Scully the white version of Saul's bodyguard!?!

Any real Breaking Bad fan would know it's actually called "Saul Goodman and Associates" . . . [censored]!

sorry chook!! It's in a lovely shopping complex..

Hope the AFL absolutely slams Lynch and Blucher.

How could Adelaide have entered into this agreement? They agreed to secretly pay him an extra $200k but they had enough room in their cap to do it legally!!!!!

It's bizarre.

That it is.

The CEO should be rolled for this.

?????

I would have thought the deal they did for Fevola was brilliant for their client.

It was Brisbane that firetrucked that one.

If the AFL decides to conduct an investigation into Tippett's management team, then why should it not also widen the investigation into the way in which they handled Tom Scully's move to GWS. I understand poaching of contracted players is not allowed and there are question marks about the way that move was handled.

Let's hope that the AFL is dedicated to finding out the truth about the practices of clubs, players and their managers.
