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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
