Crows 'tamper' affair

[Ziplock]

they'll say it before the delisted free agency period I would think.

he's not eligible for that so i don't think there's any real rush, they just need to have it sorted by the national draft...

I'd hope they sort it earlier though

Ditto the sooner the better for all.

Do what the NRL did to the Melbourne Storm and make every game they play next season count for nothing. :P

That way Melbourne, GWS, GC and Port can win a match. :P

Melbourne, GWS, GC and Port would still have to beat them!

not sure if this is really likely or just Rucci going over the top again

Adelaide is at risk of becoming the first AFL club to be stripped of premiership points as punishment for its Kurt Tippett scandal.

...

"Our view at the AFL Commission was stripping premiership points was the single greatest penalty we could apply against a club," (ex-AFL president) Wayne Jackson said.

"We felt fines washed over some clubs because they could cope with a financial penalty.

"But every club is super sensitive to losing premiership points. Stripping points has a greater impact on decisions being made at football clubs."

...

But as the figure is more than $100,000, the Crows are at risk of:

A FINE that is double the salary cap breach.
A BAN from all or part of the next three drafts.
LOSS of premiership points.

seems a bit harsh but we still don't know exactly what the crows have done. it will depend on the severity of their mistakes i guess...

I must say GWS has played this bloody well. Whether they plan to pick him up or not, Tippett now has two options:
1. Lets GWS pick him up
2. Puts a higher price on his head so the Giants can't afford him, but also meaning he will cost the Swan's an arm and a leg.

Sheeds you mischievous barbie!

will be interesting to see how this plays out in the PSD.  There are some clubs apart from Sydney that may be able to afford his asking price.

Exactly. The Demons for instance would have a lot of room, and he would be a perfect fit for the Dogs also.

Would the Demons want him after picking up Dawes?

Crazy not to really, Dawes will just have to play in the ruck lol

Melbourne wouldnt have room for tippet.
They are already paying their new forwards more than they are worth.
Mitch Clarke over 600k a season
Chris Dawes over 500k a season

Everybody else = $200k. Seriously, Brad Green, Brent Moloney and Jared Rivers just left, they would have been high on the pay scale there. Really on the Trengove and Grimes would be on the highish dollars.

If Melbourne don't have salary cap room, nobody does.

Dees also have Jesse Hogan to come in next year... don't rule out the Dogs taking him at 5 or 6 though in the National Draft
