Not entirely sure but I think if you look at his behaviour of late and the way he has handled this trade situation, you will have your answer.
Talking about people who dislike the big KT. I've been wondering, surely the ex-girlfriend would be keen to talk? The one he dumped ... I'd expect at least one interview from the spurned woman before this is out.

Because he's a ****ing twat?! It's pretty obviously to all and sundry now.
I think she hit social media fairly hard describing KT's shortcomings when it happened.
The reason they won't disclose it is because there's no formula, just a bunch of guys sitting around a table going "ok, so what vibe are we all getting for Goddard?"...

There punishment is still to come......in the form of $Kurtley $Tippett.
I cannot possibly see how there will not be resentment from the honest, hard working Swan players knowing this douchebag is copping $1 million/year for 4 years...let's face it the $$$'s he will be paid there are still purely speculative as he yet to really fully realise his "potential", perhaps he never will??
Don't tell me some of the "better" players on the Swans list won't have the $$$$'s $Kurtley is going to be paid [guaranteed for 4 years] at the forefront of their next contract negotiations....bet on it!!!
Exactly, so we could have gone back to the Tippetts and said AFL won't allow that. Then none of this would have happened.
Can't agree with this at all. If they knew about the agreement, and I think it's highly likely that they did (although it's possibly hard to prove), they were going to willingly participate in draft tampering.
if Adalaide had to do third party deals to keep tippett when our team had very few stars in 2009 that werent on the veterans list I would hate to think How Hawthorn can keep bringing player sin and teanms like Collingwood can keep thei list together. there has to be some pretty creative stuff happening here
Please ... you arent serious are you.
This idea that all the guys on the Swans list are hard working honest tough good blokes is pure advertising.
It's the same bullsh!t that has supporters thinking everyone involved with the Power is a complete tool, Collingwood players are dumb (for instance the "spud" Chris Dawes in studying law) - and every Crows player is a top bloke.
They are employees in a business that demands selfishness. They all look after number one, and they all understand that.
You think the Swans are committing extortion - well if they get KT, we are committing Exaction:
Posted this in the Tippett thread, but this confirms all those times we all think but how can club X do that? How does club X keep bringing in players and keep them?
If the AFL have a real sniff around, we could have a draft where there are no picks!!!

I'd say at a wild guess there are a number of clubs looking on at this unfold with fair levels of anxiety. And the next club who takes Tippett is going to want to be very very careful with their contract with him given the mercenary forces in the background and what will be a high level of AFL scrutiny.Some clubs may well decide its more risk and trouble than its worth given the father comes with the son in this case. Cf the earlier Cloke discussions. This ones very similar.
Gee we're lucky he's not staying with us!

Finding any AFL documentation is like looking for a needle in a haystack. They're not exactly the most transparent of organisations.
If our penalty is contained to this years draft we will rebound quickly
The missed opportunity rather than the penalty might hurt us the most

So...what did she have to say? I'm ready to gobble any crumbs of comfort from this situation. Hearing Katie's a dud root could make us all feel a bit better.
The Age online is down at the moment but I'm pretty sure I read an article today that stated we did end up including the TPP's in our cap.
If that's the case, then I can't see where the problem lies.. Bueller? Bueller?
Chapman did seem pretty confident that the investigators would not find any further wrong doing. You'd think that previously being CEO of a large bank, he might know a thing or two about numbers.
You don't know how true that statement is until you've actually tried yourself! I found the rules pertaining to the draft (and nominated payments) from the player's association and the draft nomination form, but nothing from the AFL itself. I get the impression they enjoy having the freedom to govern unrestricted based on the whims of the day, and the compensation formula used with the introduction of the expansion teams as well as the new priority pick system only serve to strengthen this view.
