According to 3AW mate. Although that may only be out of trading for him. I'm sure they'll snap him up should he last to their pick in the draft.

I would be more than extremely mother ****ing suprised if he did. The guys bread and butter was insurance and he was really big on compliance when he was my boss so he'd feel pretty comfortable he is right to make that comment
I can't actually work out if we're disagreeing or not...

I love the subtle dig at 'another media outlet' (read Rucci)
As serious as this can be for Adelaide, it is funny watching AdelaideNow and The Age taking subtle pot shots at each other throughout the saga

Hopefully the silver lining from this saga is that Emma gets offered the Chief Football Writer position for the Advertiser...
But im sure a few weeks ago Chapman would have also said check us we are squeaky clean, little did he know Triggys been harboring a few little secrets. So for all we know there could be other little gems.

Mind you he was happy to sit on an illegal deal for 3 years and say nothing til we looked like getting burned by it. (Or is he claiming he didn't know?)
"The AFL will find nothing" - the cynic in me reads that a different way.
Sort of like our declarations that THERE IS NO EXIT CLAUSE IN KURT'S CONTRACT... which was the 'truth' (nods head and smiles) but not 'the truth' (shakes head and frowns).
How things can change so quickly!!
It was only 23 days ago that this thread started with Tippett's announcement that he was leaving Adelaide for an unknown destination. We all naturally assumed that would be either the Gold Coast or Brisbane.
That of course prompted excitement about the trade period with thoughts of either 2 first round draft picks or a 1st rounder and a player to come our way plus $800k to $1 million freed up in the coffers to make an assault on the trade market. This was going to be party time trade wise, and the BigFooty Adelaide Board went into joyous melt-down.
Then a few days later came the first shock to the system. The prick had chosen Sydney - the club with the worst draft picks and not too much to trade our way in terms of players that fitted our needs. Okay - a bit of a hiccup but that's up to Sydney to get the job done. A trade here and there with a 3rd party was what they had to do, and we would come out alright out of this. Maybe not quite as good as before but still okay.
Then we have that idiot Ireland saying they wouldn't trade their premiership players and eventually ruling out all their promising juniors. We had to win somehow, didn't we, but it was becoming harder and harder to see how.
Then came the biggest insult so far. Pick 23 plus Jesse White. The equivalent of a 2nd round pick and a genuine scrubber!! Fk me!! Sydney can't be serious - they'll have to back down eventually. Expectations were dropping to lower levels though.
Then came the first real body blow and a complete insult to all supporters of the AFc - Adelaide actually tried to officially accept that insulting offer of pick 23 + White only last Friday. The AFL refuse to accept it as a bona fide trade (surprise surprise) which I think we can now definitely link with the Chairman of the AFC telling Demetriou that like the cuckolded husband, there is some nasty secret that unfortunately he has to be told.
Rumours are starting to run rife in the press boxes, and we all say surely not to them, but with an ever sickening feeling in our guts.
These rumours don't go away. In fact they become more detailed. Adelaide did indeed have a gentlemen's agreement to trade Tippett for a 2nd round draft pick. WTF? Surely not.Nobody is that stupid ....... are they?? Still it's only verbal and nobody can ever prove that. Looks like we'd better grab the offer of pick 23 plus Jesse White and run.
Wait, it's not a verbal agreement. It's in print. What bloody idiot makes such an agreement and puts it in print? Ermmmm, Trigg and Reid apparently. Oh well, we'll get a rap over the knuckles and a small fine for a bit of draft tampering, but still let's concentrate on getting SOMETHING for Tippett.
What!! You're saying there's even more!! There's bloody emails outside the AFL's agreement detailing it all PLUS we have agreed to pay money outside the cap!! I must be going nuts - surely this can't be true. Not even an idiot would do this, would they?? Oh yeah, I forgot - it's Triggy and Reidy!! We are completely screwed and the AFL are going to investigate it
Yes, it's all confirmed.We have done all these things and we're facing sanctions.
There's talk of huge fines and a loss of draft picks once the AFL have finished their investigation andd Tippett has gone into the draft for nothing.
So now, it's no longer a question of how many top draft picks and players we will get this trading period - it's now a question of what will we lose!! Thanks a fkg million Trigg and Reid!!

He's trying to claim it, without actually claiming it...if you know what I mean
I agree with what Wayne's World said earlier today - there's simply no ****ing way that the board/Chapman wouldn't have asked Trigg/others the question about this agreement by now if they weren't aware of it, it's come up far too often over the last eighteen months.

Now that sounds more like THE MOB we all came to know and love.
It used to be such a white hot number, now its haunting.

I would suggest he was lied to by Trigg about the agreement as in that it was a verbal agreement with a handshake and nothing more. I can understand your position on this and the Lionel Hutz reference is pretty funny but the guy is black and white when it comes to this stuff. I mean his reputation he has built up over 20 years is on the line here, he wouldn't be making that comment lightly
but there is no clause in the contract.
he wasn't lying

Maybe but I reckon he would have had some checks done before he opened his mouth again. Truly wouldn't be suprised to see the paper tomorrow reading that Trigg fell down a long flight of stairs tonight

Personally, even if we do get fined/sanctioned etc, it'll be worth it to see Tiprat get suspended for 10+ matches or deregistered.

This should be appended to the opening post of this thread, would be mighty helpful for those requesting a summary of events

I am officially suffering from Tippett's Gone thread fatigue
I've changed mind...let's take pick 22 and white
wasn't there another part to that article which quoted the full statement. something along the lines of .."gold plated commitment the afl will not find anything ... in any of the other contracts"

Can't remember but I think we were agreeing. TBH, I blame AFGM
Yeah Macca was doing a review similar to yours and as long and went back to post and seen yours .Great post macca23. It's really hard to fathom how, in such a short space of time, the entire fabric of this club has been turned upside down.
So cancelled 20 mins of my views mainly covered by you about our roller coaster ride that was going down hill at thousand knots
