Velocity Sports' Lynch and Blucher at it again.

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

I wonder what THEY'RE hiding ?? Lol

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....

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.

Hope the AFL absolutely slams Lynch and Blucher.

Agree.

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!!!!!

The CEO should be rolled for this.

Also up to their necks in the Fev to Brisbane debacle.

?????

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
