Crows 'tamper' affair

[Toga]

So I assume that the AFL are going to be looking at every club as Adelaide cannot be the only team breaking rules, alot like Lance  Armstrong! otherwise it's just a which hunt!

you do realise the AFL employs people in order to keep track of salary cap breaches?

so, when carlton broke the salary cap, were other clubs doing it too?


this is a really, really specific side arrangement and deal. I'm sure the afl will look into other clubs, but I doubt they'll find anything.

it's not a witch hunt if you tell the AFL that you did it...

Grazz- I'm really struggling to see the difference here. The contract was signed 3 years ago- the crows wouldn't have done that with the intention of then telling the AFL about the side contract/side agreement/ money on top of the salary cap. So,the deal was ready to be done, and then your chief executive decides to 'come clean' after 3 years.... it's bizarre...

Even still I doubt Adelaide are the only club with sins to confess! I just cannot believe Adelaide will be screwed because of this White Goodman nobody in Adelaide really wanted to keep!

You can't relate AFL to cycling at all in this instance.

The whole of cycling is corrupt with drugs. No comparison

Every Crows supporter wanted Tippett to stay.... Only when HE didn't want to stay did Crows supporters suddenly think he was worthless.

yeah mate. Nobody in adelaide wanted to keep him. That's why you were paying him 500K (+ allegedly 200k above the salary cap). Because you didn't want him.

mate, it's not tippetts fault- you know what, when most clubs have a decent player they want to keep, but can't afford, they'll trade him off, and not breach the salary cap and give him side contracts- wellingham at the pies for instance, he wanted to go to WCE, so they sent him there in exchange for an early pick in the 20s.

you can't just blame tippett because your club seriously flowered up and broke the rules. You cheated, and this is what happens.

deal with it.

+1 save us the bullshower you wanted to keep him, that's why the clause was there. don't try deny it.

[tbagrocks]

No we cannot compare Cycling to Footy, just an example of how others may also be corrupt

I don't know many at all who did not want the recent trades for Tippett from 2009+ to go through, we all knew Tex would take over and we wanted the compo for Tippett, not just me but most the supporters I know. He can't kick, McKernen and Tex can!

Most of us were annoyed with the Adelaide staff for not trading Tippo, and what did they pay him? :-\ We were not happy!

[CrowsFan]

Well I'll put my hand up as one of the supporters who wanted him to stay, only after he said he was leaving did I want us to get a good deal. I would have preferred he stayed though.

Tbag I don't get you at all, you say you didn't want Tippett and that he can't kick, yet you wanted a top quality draft pick for him. Makes no sense ::)

[JBs-Hawks]

If he signed a five year deal instead of quitting you would all be crazy in love with him.

All crows fans I know think McKiernan is s spud

[tbagrocks]

McKernen will prove you all wrong,

I wanted the market value for Tippett as I knew Tex would gun it, also Tippo always wanted to go home eventually (to Sydney?)

Agree 100% with the 2nd bit. And the first bit is pretty much what has happened with Dangerfield, if he said he wanted to go to Geelong crows followers (+ the Adelaide media) would be pointing out the amount of clangers he gets instead of the amount of ball and how quick he is. ftr i think he's a gun though.

and tbag, Walker hasn't shown anything apart from 2012, last year people were calling for his head when he was caught drinking when suspended...

[tbagrocks]

exept I'm the guy who followed Walker since his arrival and know what he did for Norwood and what he can do ::)

[Mailman the 2nd]

Walker was terrible.

He was lazy, a sook and complained about Craig hating him.

lol that's like saying that I should go tell John Longmire now, "Hey Horse. Trade Sam Reid, he's useless. Jesse White will shine in 2013"

You never actually thought Walker would be half useful.

Not sure if that statement is even worthy of a response but meh.

Fact, Taylor player only 11 senior games for norwood in his first year and how many did he kick? That's right! 56

Like I said I have followed him since he was 18 and he was always going to be this good! Pitty I wasn't on ff then because now I could laugh all the way!!

Don't try to tell me about Taylor Walker, he's my man and I always knew what he would do!
