Crows 'tamper' affair

[Cruiseon]

I think Adelaide are in serious trouble.

[AFEV]

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 ;)

Difference being other clubs are reporting it to the AFLPA/AFL.

:-X

Crows reported it to the AFL because they knew they were gonna be found out

Are other clubs also saying they are guilty of things like this? Is that what you mean by your statement?

No.

Other clubs lodge their 3rd party deals with the AFLPA. Straight up they have to say their player is going to be receiving some kind of income from somebody other than the club.

Adelaide tried to hide the Tippett deal, then were (about) to be found out and decided to come clean.

Different scenarios.

I think he means other clubs are reporting 3rd party payments

like 'chris judd is getting x amount by working for visy'

Pretty much. While a lot of people didn't like the Judd deal it was all above board so it's fine. The Tippett (and potentially NVB) deal/s however...

if you're hiding something, it's because you've got something to hide.

I'm a betting man, I'll bet that most profesional sporting clubs including the other 17 AFL clubs have something to hide ;)

I'll take this bet.

Assuming that by 'something to hide' we're referring to salary breaches and/or tanking. Pretty sure there's an honest club out there...somewhere...maybe. :P

[Ziplock]

I'd bet the giants aren't pulling this shower :P

but that's cause us sydney-siders are more honest than you adelaide scum :P

Hmmm well ok I'm not betting with you Alex, but Zippy bring it, Sydney have more to lose than almost anyone (GWS the other) and how were they going to pay that trader a mil? :o As if GWS don't have agreements lined up, what was the spud Skully paid for the first year :o

Yeah we (Adelaide fc) are in mighty trouble but guess what! We don't need any further players to add to win Premierships, in fact we are delisting players we actually want to keep :-\ Only one spud left at Adelaide and we feel sorry for Tambling (but not his bank account)

[Ziplock]

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.

why were the Crows trying to hide these third-party deals then? Would there have been a problem with the AFLPA if they told the AFL straight up? Seems very odd to me and just when I thought I'd got my head around it I now don't...

The AFLPA probably would have said not to do it because it isn't actually a sponsorship deal or a second job or anything like that.

The Crows have hidden it because they were just giving Tippett extra cash on the side, no legitimacy to the payments at all.

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
