Crows 'tamper' affair

[Grazz]

your value diminishes substantially when you're out of contract.

fact is, if the afl finds out adelaide had a side deal with tippett as suspected, then the real cows are adelaide for not honouring their agreement and screwing over their player.

As ive said zip everyone was operating under the illusion that he would want to go home, he has never mentioned any other club just i want to go home im homesick, this is what we all were hearing time after time. By flipping to Sydney i guess the Crows thought oh well deal off now. In hind sight they should of just done the deal with Sydney and moved on but that wouldnt of stopped Wood's from asking some questions of us as to why we are off loading Kurt so cheaply to Sydney and maybe still investigated us anyway. Me im glad it all came out, instead of going on thinking my club was a stand up club i now know the truth and id rather have the truth every time regardless of how bad it is. I think they screwed each other over.

Don't be silly Zip it was the Tippett camp that wanted the deal, Adelaide agreed, watch and listen as I am proved right!

[Ziplock]

well, we won't know until we find out the contract details are we?

we'll see tbag- eitherway both parties are in the wrong. It doesn't seem like a deal a player makes, that's all.

[tbagrocks]

Your right, but I still believe, right or wrong, that it was a seperate egreement to the contract, and Tippett is stupid for his agreement to it, about the second round pick for his future

That is not what bothers me! Ask Joel Tippett what he made from West Adelaide to play! And the White Goodman didn't even play the GF after kurt walked out sighting injery!

[Grazz]

well, we won't know until we find out the contract details are we?

This is true, we should all probably except we are only making assumptions about the details of who did what, how when and why.
Hopefully the AFL will make it all plain to see exactly what was writen and exactly what was done by who and when and why. Then we can all get stuck in and have our say with the benefit of all the facts.

History tells us The AFL sink the b00ts in these scenario's...

The issue soon will be:

What idiot team will take Tippett.

[ossie85]

The Pies and every other team would love Tippett whatlez, a bit of a silly comment that one.

It does seem like Adelaide and Tippett deliberately cheated (and I'm sorry, that's what it is). I've never had great tolerance for this, so think the penalties should be harsh.

I'd suspend Tippett for 6 matches + $10,000 fine. Would fine Adelaide $200,000 (the amount they were going to play) and there first draft pick forfeit.

[Chopps]

Zip I am in no way saying the blame lays with tippet but he is represented by an agent they know full well the rules and they know / knew this was cheating. Tippet should go after them all the same.

I see four entities at fault here with differing amounts of fault.

Afl - this rumor has been around for ages of the clause why are they looking into it only now it's their duty to protect the competition. They should of seeked clarification from the involved parties once it surfaced (what else has Adrian Anderson got to do apart from tinker with rules)

Tippet - could of gone about leaving the club a different way also held to his end of the deal if that was truly about returning to qld.
Without the deal if he had changed his mind big deal 3 years is ages. I however don't place any blame of this squarely on tippet I don't see how it's his fault. He is the catalyst for this issue arising that's all.

Velocity sports. They know the rules of the game otherwise how do they negotiate contracts they should of advised Kurt not to sign or accept anything outside of his contract

Finally the crows, I am speechless of the stupidity of the people in charge. If we are guilty throw the book at them.

I am following in grazz's footsteps and making sure they are aware of the disgust of another supporter.

Anyone at the club involved needs to be sacked and fined along with the club. It's a shame for the playing list they don't deserve this but the public won't be happy once the time has been served for the crime. Will be hard to hold our heads up as supporters and back this great club unless they do everything right here forward if so I don't give a toss what anyone else says about the club

[Chopps]

Ossie I d say in addition to your suggestion we also lose tippet for nothing.

Along with velocity sports being fined

Sounds fair, though the Sydney Swans might feel a bit ripped off though.

[Chopps]

They can still get him or take our first two draft picks and let us trade him although I d imagine his currency is out the Window right now

[kilbluff1985]

would have to be stupid to get him now don't know what the AFL will do with him if he is found guilty of anything

[Tominator]

Not sure if I said this already - maybe it was a other thread - but what would happen in this scenario?

Kurt Tippett traded to Sydney for White and Pick 23

What would happen if Tippett's AFL licence gets revoked? Would that mean Sydney have given up White and Pick 23 for nothing or would the trade be reversed?

[ossie85]

would have to be stupid to get him now don't know what the AFL will do with him if he is found guilty of anything

I don't understand why they would be stupid to get him. Tippett in 2009 was only 21-22 and made a stupid mistake, I'm sure he'd learn from it. He didn't get violent, drunk, wasn't racist or sexist, wasn't on drugs, or chicken wing tackle anybody like many people on current AFL lists who are superstars.

Any team would love Tippett.


@Tominator, yes it would.
