Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[DJ75]

Anyone else got this?

Yeh I have it as well.
Hopefully, all this debacle results in is us missing out on Tippett trade compensation and that is it.
There is no way the AFL will let us trade Tippett during this investigation which is likely to continue for another week yet.

 

[Pariah]

Anyone else got this?

Yep

 

[cmndstab]

he didn't have to sign the deal...and his manager should've known it was an illegal clause....if we sink he should too....but all the blame may fall on the manager and tiprat gets away with it because he was only 22 at the time and apparently dumb as a post

Oh, I agree fully. Tippett and Blucher should be in the shit as well. They signed off on it and signed the requisite stat dec indicating that everything of relevance was listed on the contract.

 

[FR0GGY]

So the AFL forensics are coming to Adelaide to examine paperwork and computers. Triggy is screwed as his secret stash of pr0n featuring Craigy will be exposed

EFA

 

[Bicks]

Guys GC would have been aware of the gentleman's agreement! A GC board member or might have even been a president/chairman at the time and Tippett's old man are great mates.

Yep, John Witheriff. Well connected is the Tippett clan!!

For them to go to the AFL without a push from Kurt's lawyers and to have a number of interviews where they still sound very confident makes me think this wont be that bad. If they'd been as dodgy as Carlton, Trigg would have been on a flight to Yemen ASAP.

I really hope Tippett gets deregistered for a year. That would shut his stupid father up.

 

[FR0GGY]

The worst part of this is we have been forced to pay overs and include all these clauses because of Vlad and his god damn expansion clubs. Then to top it off Tip gets lured by a club with a bigger salary cap. Thanks AFL make sure you ream us hard.

 

[Woodie99]

ah no. Tiprat and his team took advantage of our desperate desire to keep him by asking for an outrageous salary and bullshit demands such as the trade clause, Sydney were trying to take advantage of the side agreement....GC are now trying to take advantage of our vulnerable position and get tiprat......and all the flogs in the AFL (such as yourself) are coming out of the woodwork to try and bag us....

Get real, don't care who instigated the deal, both parties agreed to it in 2009. Now there's extra payments.

Can't see how Sydney or any other club had anything to do with it. AFC made the bed, now they must sleep in it, and you can take that overrated f*** wit with you.

Well that's comforting. It was only our Board that had no idea what was going on.

Allegedly extra payments and we all know the media in Australia has a good track record for actually reporting the facts.....

Also Sydney were trying to benefit from it in 2012, so yeah they should be in trouble too, but won't since AFL love Sydney

 

[FR0GGY]

I've fallen way too far behind in this thread to ever catch up. I might just skip to the page when trigg handed in his resignation, can anyone point me in that direction please? He has done it hasn't he?!

Yep its over there > as far as the eye can see...

 

[Lawrst]

Now there's extra payments.

So speculation in the Media is always right now?

Yes, and in 2012 Sydney were consipring to be the third party required to execute that deal brokered in 2009. So rather than report that there was a deal which constituted draft tampering to the AFL, they decided to try and take advantage of said draft tampering, and secure a player at an artificially low value. How are you not seeing that?

 

[bjn1960]

Woodie - don't be to smug, there but for the grace of god, go I.

I'm thinking he can't see it because he is a troll....

Well we are either very confident or in denial that's for sure!

We certainly ****ed up with exit clause!

 

[arsene wenger1]

We've been naughty.....we need to punished by Mrs Demetriou

This could have wider implications then. Could become a matter for the Federal Police. After all, they have provided a false Stat Dec.

Good point. Sounds like absolutely nobody from any of the three parties involved has really thought this through to its logical conclusion.

 

[A FEW GOOD MEN]

The thing that disappoints me the most about this whole sorry affair is that THE MOB have failed to explain how Craigy was responsible for this mess.

At least we will get to play more KIDS next season.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Pity Triggy was too busy with his croissants and french wines to have his moment of righteousness and fess up to the AFL 2 weeks ago. Might have been time to finalise this mess prior to the end of the trade period.

 

[Woodie99]

I'm thinking he can't see it because he is a troll....

No I'm not, I see your point, even if Syd knew (which I think they did) I can't see them doing anything that the AFL could nab them on. Also it seems other clubs knew of this deal, so do the AFL go after them aswell?

Are you saying there's a "secret" dvd too?

 

[Loyal Lion]

Just makes you wonder, why the hell all parties did not seek legal advice on the agreement, before it was signed off ? So now the Crows seek legal advice ?

 

[FR0GGY]

Not if we have no draft picks
