Crows 'tamper' affair

[Tominator]

They can Zippy... Didn't use to happen a lot in the past but with free agency etc it's gonna happen a lot more IMO, with players picking "clubs of choice" and that stuff

I think though a contracted player like tippet can only say I d prefer to get to Sydney, he can't dictate it s the only club if he is leaving regardless and won't play for anyone else. This was the issue with the pies and Tarrant (correct me if I m wrong)

Dangerfield has now been dragged into the ongoing saga.

It is believed the AFL has accessed an email written by Harper, in which he indicated that Dangerfield, Kurt Tippett and captain Nathan van Berlo had been steered towards a company owned by a former Adelaide board member, Alan Sheppard.

The company, Alan Sheppard Constructions - part of Adelaide's ''Chairman's Circle'' coterie group - paid each player about $20,000 in 2011.

The deals for Dangerfield, Tippett and van Berlo were lodged with the AFL and approved by the league, and Fairfax Media is not suggesting any wrongdoing by the players, or that Adelaide exceeded its salary-cap allowance.

what?

I dont get the second quote....

the tippett deal definitely wasn't lodged with the AFL/ approved by the league.... that's what this whole issue is about...

I think this is a seperate issue to the other Tippett/Crow deals zip that have us in strife.

That is correct. The second quote is in relation to the first quote. That the $20,000 third party payments that NVB, Tippett and Dangerfield received from a company owned by a former board member was in fact lodged and accepted by the AFL.

Still, the third-party payment sagas continue...

[Ziplock]

ahhhk lol.

[Tominator]

Don't think Dangerfield and NVB have anything to worry about

I thought the punishment was coming down today... whats the hold up?

We need more time for our defence. = Dodge not Being available to pick in the draft.

[Ziplock]

yeah, I honestly dont know why the afl granted them the time... at this point, the only reason they'd ask for more time to prepare a defence would be to desperately try to find a loophole...

They asked for more time so they could participate in the draft this year

Possibly they smelt a slight chance of getting the boy they could've had last year, Ben Kennedy. I do find it unlikely he will slide all the way but then Sammy Colquhoun should become available. I do really think Adelaide wants to get Ben Kennedy on the half forward line ;)

you'd love him tbag but I highly coubt he'll slip down to 20 unfortunately :'( i think Norths, GWS or Gold Coast will get him before you... But Colqs should still be there!
