Malthouse claims Trigg admits Adelaide had Betts 'stitched up' with 18 months to go on his contract

I reckon he just misinterpreted what Trigg said in what was probably a casual conversation. Having said that, it makes more sense for a player to want to come to the AFC in 2012 when we were on top of the ladder and almost guaranteed a premiership in the near future, rather than 2013 when we were a shambles who had lost draft picks and couldn't keep interstate talent.

What about Niel Craig?
No, Actually. Its the fact he said anything about list management at AFC is stupid. I am with Bicks, The crows couldn't have done anything wrong because Betts was a Restricted Free Agent. I believe Malthouse never bothered to understand that point, look it up he just said it. I don't think he wanted to keep Betts anyhow as I think its quite clear they didn't get along.

Roach is resigned to using click bait instead of accurate, quality journalism. No surprises there.

Listening to Rowe, it seems there is absolutely no time a coach should be sacked

He's probably 2nd page with them.
Reckon SOS could do a Grant Thomas??
Why didn't Trigg just try to put it in context?... like Wooljay has in his post.
"Guarantee Salty Malty is just deflecting, I imagine Trigg just meant they were confident they had him well before he was signed.
He's an arrogant tool trying to make the story about someone else."

That's part of why they hired him! Because he has such knowledge! Could you imagine him saying to Carlton "Oh sorry, I can't say anything about what we did at the Crows"
I'd just refer AFL House to the contract that was lodged with them, ask them to check the date on it, then make a polite request that they let Carlton know to keep their in house shitfight to themselves.
I would also assume that Trigg signed a Confidential Disclosure Agreement before exiting the club, and if he did, I'd be reviewing that agreement very closely to see if Trigg is in breach of it. Had enough of this ******* damaging our club. Even if we have done nothing wrong, which I suspect is the case, it's currently dragging our name through the mud again.

We all know what Rucci is. I just wish people would stop giving the creep free publicity by linking to his articles. It should be a bannable offense and I'm surprised the mods allow it given how precious they usually are.

Surely Trigg will target master coach Brenton Sanderson

Rowe still going with his "Malthouse wouldn't make something up" line
Ok we got Mcdimwit sacked we need to get Rowie axed now. What a clown. Only a deadest moron could carry on about Malthouse and Betts the way his is. He wouldn't lie! Why sack him, what a gutless board! haha you are the stupidest link Stephen.

Except it's a "gift" you don't want, like say herpes.
Just heard Trigg's explanation again - he did put it into context - in short, 'stitched up' was in reference to the extensive process AFC went through in weighing up Bett's worth(not money worth) to the AFC, and coming to the decision, yes, that's what the club needed.
It wasn't 'stitched up' as in they had Betts agreeing to come to AFC, nor that he'd signed with the AFC.

Looks like he's determined to embarrass himself over this.
He has taken embarrassing himself to the next level.
Assuming all is above board with the Eddie Betts contract, no real issue with Trigg in this particular case, was probably a quick "we had him 18 months ago", meaning we had identified him (clubs mentioned plenty of times they work at least 18 months out on these deals), talked to his agent, and had him interested beginning 18 months out. Not paperwork signed and deal done 18 months early.
Malthouse knew what he was doing, seems like something he would do. Craig wouldn't of done it, Sanderson probably had plenty he could of dropped on his way out since he was there in 2012, but didn't, and I don't think I can imagine Walsh having a tantrum on his way out either, he's team first compared to Malthouses me first. You just don't talk about other clubs business in public like that.
