Let me put this to you.
You have a 6 year old, he/she wants to eat a bucket load of fairy floss at 10 pm. You know its not good for them as they will get sick and you will be up and down all night.
Do you allow them to eat it to prove a point or just say no? you say no as you know you are making the best decision for them in the short and long term future. You are not looking to prove a point or to keep them happy. You are acting in the best interest of the child.
Trigg and Reid needed to say NO to ant ******* deal and this does not occour. Who cares what Tippett does or doesn't do, the best interest of the club must come first and everything else secondary.
How hard is that to understand.
It's been a while, but around and around and around we go again.
Well, since your intention is be be a clown. I'm going to bed.
must be the full moon again...

The part that I find hard to understand, is where your analogy compares a 6 year old kid, to a professional athlete with the representation of an accredited AFL player manager, employed primarily for the purpose of handling said athlete's contract.
Trigg and Reid should have absolutely said no, but they didn't. This does not absolve Tippett and his representatives of any guilt for their actions, which is why they were suspended.
Wouldnt want to meet you in a dark alley Stabby!!!Well, as long as it's not a troll
I know it's hard for you, but try putting yourself in someone elses shoes. Imagine one of your gun players was offered the world to stay at the club, but instead insisted on illegal conditions being placed in his contract. Then after getting that, he decides to leave anyway. Then he nominates a club knowing that they are unable to offer reasonable compensation, making it impossible for us to actually complete a trade without attraction the AFL's attention. Then just to make double certain we get screwed, his management sends the illegal contract to journalists to ensure that we are discovered. How would you feel about it?
We all get that the club was in the wrong as well. We've all accepted that and moved on from it. We got punished, just as we deserved. The thing is, that doesn't absolve Tippett from his actions. He lied to the club about his intentions and he dropped every one of his former teammates in the s**t just so he could go to the reigning premiers, even despite surely knowing it was going to cost him a lengthy suspension. He's a selfish scumbag and frankly, you'd be better off just pretending you're trolling, because trying to draw comparisons between his actions and those of most other player movements or club-initiated trades makes you look like an idiot.
The last 10 pages of this thread are tragic, bitter and unfortunately a pretty accurate reflection of our supporter base.
We are like a 15 year old girl who just got dumped and is now calling her ex-boyfriends new lover a fat ****.
The best part is the contradiction between our glee at Eddie Betts arriving and the bountiful reasons as to why Aish should abandon the club that has spent the last two years developing him - but when Tippet wants out he is a mercenary and when Gunston wants out he is a mummy's boy.

I've always been told and that has never been contradicted that Mr Tippet (Kurts Dad) had a big influence on the contract.Why do you assume that Trigg & Reid weren't the one's proposing the deal?
I assume it was
It's not I just quoted itWhy was my last post deleted?

Despite coming so close to playing off against the Swans in the 2012 Grand Final, Kurt announced post season that he was off to the reigning premiers. I remember distinctly where I was when the announcement was made. I was at pre-drinks for an early work Christmas event with my partner, with drinking, horse-racing, drinking, roast lunch, drinking, gambling and drinking to come. It ruined my day.
