Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[headache1]

Who does everyone reckon made the statement about KT's name being mud, etc?
I reckon JJ.

Jenkins has more or less said it in his own articles anyway. I reckon it'd be someone who's been there long term. Maybe Bernie.

This gets more interesting by the hour.

Query over Selwood deal

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/query-over-selwood-deal-20121116-29hpt.html

I think many clubs are cursing Tip$ right now for the can of worms he opened. Selfish little......

 

[Sanders]

It's funny that they spoke to Capel. No one talks to Rucci, he's a snake.

He's also on holiday

 

[Flynn White]

I loved Tex's tweet last night...lol classic!

He won't be very popular at Carlton.

 

[jenny61_99]

I'm not sure what other clubs pants have to do with it

LMAO. You know I checked the definitions the other day because I thought the ea looked funny. Clearly I need to learn how to read again!

 

[tinman]

Who said we've paid outside it? My understanding is we haven't paid anything.

And I think 99% of people think a breach of salary cap means exceeding the salary cap. To say the club has breached the cap is misleading. Why not just say they may have not complied with the rules...?
It really is just another example how the media have beat this up.

 

[xamol]

Fair to say the lads are starting to open up a bit re their regard for Muppett.

First game against the knobhead will be very interesting!!

I really hope the legal team run with it from this angle.

 

[Mighty Chinook]

You don't have to exceed the salary cap to breach it.

True, but it does mean that it will be viewed as a less serious infraction resulting in a smaller sanction.

 

[JP Sauce]

They say former team mate, you say ex player... Was it former team mate that has since resigned? (trying to think who it would be! )

Haha, yes they were team mates and he is now an ex-Crow.

Can you imagine what he will do to the Sydney group's psyche if he actually makes it there!

 

[Slippery Pete]

Greatest show of all time

Indeed.

I hate it when I have to explain.

I actually know a few people who hate it. I am no longer friends with those people.

 

[Slippery Pete]

He's not going anywhere.

Nah, I meant the device I bought. I bought a device that automatically detects Phil Harper's voice on my car radio and switches the radio to a different station.

Saves me falling asleep at the wheel.

Such people exist?

Staggering.

 

[Flynn White]

I'd be surprised if the Sydney Leadership group are actually concerned about KT coming to there Football club now.

Being in Melbourne, we get an entirely different angle on the proceedings to Adelaide based fans.

Over here, Vics see the delay of the hearing as a sign of guilt - us trying to get some draft picks used up before it all goes sour.

I have not heard anyone put up the facts yet - its got to the stage where they are bleating about Carlton's Judd deal, and then in the next sentence when someone makes a tenuous link to Tippett it is usually shouted down with - "thats completely different, Adelaide tried to hide everything and are flat-out cheats".

I would say that the order of things to most punters in Vic, ranked with worst offence being number (1) :
(1) AFC side $ with Balfours
(2) AFC side agreement with KT for 2nd round pick stuff
(3) Melbourne tanking - maybe, but they shouldnt be punished coz its AFL's fault

The Judd deal has always been a sticking point for non-Carlton supporters, but only the Carlton people are now screaming about a deal that was ok and now isnt.

And I know I'm harping on this point a bit but I dont get whats hard to see about the minimum 2nd Round pick thing - to use the selling example mentioned a few pages back:

Lets say the agreed terms in the contract is minimum of $10 -

If the agreed minimum amount is kept confidential:
AFC - we want to sell KT to you guys
SFC - how much?
AFC - make an offer ... but remember, he is a sought after player by other clubs and we know you want him
SFC - $20
AFC - Deal

If the agreed minimum amount is NOT kept confidential:
AFC - we want to sell KT to you guys
SFC - how much?
AFC - make an offer ... but remember, he is a sought after player by other clubs and we know you want him
SFC - ok, but you remember that sometimes "confidential" is a very loose term ...
AFC - Damn you Tippetts
SFC - $11 + you have to pick up our garbage for a year
AFC - Muther Effing Sons of Bitches ...

 

[cmndstab]

I doubt it's Josh Jenkins that spoke to the papers about not liking Tippett. He probably wouldn't even have asked for anonymity! Hell, he'd probably just write the article himself.

lol

harsh!

You just have to read the main board to see the truth in this.

 

[Cap]

You just have to read the main board to see the truth in this.

that is the mentality of the AFL main board, simply kick the shit out of any team - but try and buy credibility by defending the popular notion.

 

[Vigawla]

Agreed. But I'm pretty sure we haven't. We may have underwritten third party agreements for him on the insistence of his dad (how ******* greedy can you be?), but don't think we actually had to pay him anything.

Like you say jenny, no one knows the facts.

 

[Vigawla]

Can you imagine what he will do to the Sydney group's psyche if he actually makes it there!

There HAS to be quite a few Sydney players hoping to Santa that Tippett doesn't come to Sydney. Officials on the other hand would probably only look at his output on the field.

Hi I'm Slippery Pete and I'm a narcotic.

"Hi Pete!"

 

[Deaneus!]

Narcotic or narcoleptic?

Slippery Pete is a drug to many of us.
