Crows 'tamper' affair

[AFEV]

mate, we didnt need to pay our first year players squat- we made up the rest of our cap by front loading our contracts- it's a completely viable, and legal method of tying up the required 92.5% of the salary cap.

unlike just breaching it.

Will be fun when, not in two years but four-five, when these kids all want a decent contract! Watch a bunch of top players do an Israel and exodus for more money ;D

Geelong managed to do it.

Basically a trade - Money --> Success.

Just need to get the success to give them a reason to stay. :P

Tbag if you actually looked at the ins and outs of Sydney over the past 3-4 years you'd know why they'd be able to afford Tippett.

Let me guess, Ryan O'Keefe and Adam Goodes are on the veterans list, oh wait it's the extra mil in the cap, well either way, Andrew Demetriou should be sacked, just for being the biggest spud of the year

Actually I'm pretty sure Sydney don't just get an extra mil. I think there is a percentage increase to each wage to cover the living cost.

That's how it was intended and I'd be shocked if the AFL didn't force them to use the extra space this way. :-X

Come on tbags, use your brain.

Outs:
- Bradshaw
- Bolton (Craig)
- Hall
- Kirk
- Jolly
- Buchanan
- Seaby
- Michael O'Loughlin
- Leo Barry

Who's come in? Like Jack and hannebery get paid a bit. Reid and Mumford got decent contracts but not huge.

And as you said only half of Goodes' (who's the hishest paid btw) and ROK get half counted to the cap.

The players get an extra 9.8% because its more expensive to live in Sydney than Adelaide. Significantly more so.

Plus, Tippett wasn't offered 1 million, this was already established

there are a lot of reasons that can be put forward for why demetriou should be sacked.

that adelaide are a bunch of cheating cows is not one of them.

I'm pretty sure the 9.8% cap is distributed evenly over all the players salary- on top of that, it's mre like 12-13% more expensive to live in sydney.

Yeah I heard Grundy is like the second highest player at the club. Not sure if true, just what this guy said who used to shag his sister lol.

[elephants]

never been there.

looks a bit boring, but I'm willing to give it a shot :P

Says the bloke from Western Sydney? :P

So lets just check all the clubs to see what comes up, and if Adelaide is the only club to be "cheating" I'll leave ff ;)

Haha better start packing mate. Surely after the first scandal broke all the other clubs would have been thoroughly investigated.

Goodes and ROK only get 100k of there contracts paid by the government.

Havent read through your arguments but this is on the article on question.

What about Dangerfields brand new Celica he got from Toyota that he flaunts around west lakes mall? Is that lodged with the afl? :P

[tbagrocks]

The Swans did well and that final will hurt for a while, we all know now that sports are not an even playing field nor are they fair! I would now struggle to find the innocent party in any so called profesional organization that is not in some way cheating!

[Chopps]

I think knowing how far to bend rules is key. The age reported the balfours deal was reported to the afl just not how the payment was to be made directly to tippet.

Zip use some tact mate no need to be calling adelaidian s scum. Yea the crows seem to have flowered up on a grand scale and yea we know you have a passionate hatred of the state and people that reside here. If you don't like it that's your choice no need to rag on it all the time, it gets old fast *rant over*

[Tominator]

interesting how Judd's third-party deal has now been ceased by the AFL

It was incredibly (almost to the point of corruption) that the AFL allowed it in the first place. Honestly.

[Chopps]

It defeats the purpose of a salary cap if someone can be paid outside by a company already heavily involved in the club might as well let clubs employ players through their own non football related businesses

very interesting!

Looks like the AFL is just going to completely cancel the possibility of legal third party agreements so there's no confusion as to what's legal and what's not ;)

I think its a good idea anyway!
