Crows delay Hearing

[dee-luded 2,959]

totally agree in relation to the TV Rights, but what gets up my cruits is that IF Dangerfield is involved as well how far does this go?

Systematic cheating of SA Football against Victorian Big Brother is what i see.

What recruits would want to go near the joint?

And why should they be put in that situation?

The Tippett case is enough proceed with so far..What follows can just continue into next year.

They are stuffed i agree there.

I reckon this is a can the player managers have carried to help the players & so by extension themselves.

so with that I would be surprised if it isn't everywhere at all clubs.

How is it that GWS managed to miss-out on Pendlebury & Thomas, when they chased them?

How did MMurphy get persuaded to not go to the Lions but go to the Blues???

Now Selwood & Dangermouse, Van Berlo, & ?????????????????????????

This should go all off season if it is to be seen to really go to the bottom of all 3rd Party deals & salary cap issues. At all clubs.

Just call off the 2013 draft hang on fine every club suspend all 1st rnd picks oh shyte, what has the AFL let happen here? Private enterprise X by greed.

Who pays for all this excess?

Lance Armstrong, come back, your forgiven.

the MFC situation is very different. Over the border solid evidence has surfaced. They did it. To what extent is what we are learning.

The MFC accusation is grey at best and nobody can say exactly what we have done yet.

If we are found guilty on solid evidence we deserve penalties, but i am doubting that now, unless brand new evidence is uncovered.

If i was a parent i would be stipulating to the manager "My kid will not go to the Crows" this case could F$&@k them for 10 years. An entire career.

Wanna buy some shares in Velocity Sports.

Going cheap.

Cash Aceepted.

Adelaide draft bombshell

I wonder how Crows fans feel about their club volunteering to give up their first 2 picks of this draft.

This means our pick 49 has just become pick 48, get excited people. Moreover, pick 53 becomes pick 52... double win. Its almost as exciting as a double rainbow.

"The Crows appear certain to be ruled out of the first two rounds of the 2013 draft, with the pressing question now whether they are also banned from the 2014 national draft"

The age is also predicting tippet will be suspended for 8-12 weeks next season...

No big deal for the swans, they'll have him hitting form (and refreshed!) by finals... hmmm

If the rumours are correct then the draft penalties handed down to Adelaide will hand brake the club for 10 years.

Stephen Trigg should have his resignation typed and signed in an envelope readily to submit at the closure of the hearing.

If you saw the news last night, Trigg was asked a few questions landing in Melb. One question was along the lines of are you worried about the hearing and any sactions against you. "The club comes first" was his response.... If I was a Crows fan hearing that I'd be none to pleased.

The thing that concerns me most about the likely result of this, is that once the attention is turned back to the "tanking affair", the AFL may come down hard on us just to show that they are not singling out Adelaide with the iron fist of justice; they will want to be seen as even handed, regardless of whether it is justified or not.

Hopefully I have just contracted a mild case of MFCSS and that I'm completely wrong about this.

They should lose their first pick for another couple of years - however long the Tippett contract was for.

It is a touch of the syndrome, but that doesn't mean it won't happen...

We need to hire a PR team pronto - the media has moved along with Wilson to a place that is just not right - namely that we are guilty, with the only real question being that other teams are just guilty and we shouldn't be singled out.

That is not a position of strength and we should be working to get our message across; we simply did what losing teams do, and we didn't conspire to be awful - we were awful.

Don't think Crows will cop the iron fist.

I predicted earlier that they would be fined the amount of the 3rd party payment $300k and I still stand by that. 2 years of first and second round picks was on the cards and they may do better as they handed in a 3rd rounder with their first rounder this year. They were late round picks as well.

Tippett will cop half a season and end up at Swans on the money he wanted and they will have him for free, a huge win.

If I am correct that is not an iron fist.

BTW on Demetriou's definition of tanking, we are innocent. We didn't tell a player to lie down and we experimented. Don't forget to deliberately lose you must be good enough to win, we weren't. We accepted that and experimented like everyone else. I suppose if I played Federer at tennis and didn't give him my tricky Redleg, down the line backhand, I would be tanking.
