Discussion Adelaide in Trouble

[Sheeza69]

Adelaide's in some trouble..

Adelaide AFL correspondent Michaelangelo Rucci has stated this evening that there are allegations coming from South Australia that a secret third party deal was involved and hidden from the AFL in Kurt Tippett's contract, which in fact has heavily violated Adelaide's salary cap, which has been breached and has surpassed the AFL stipulated salary cap.

Huge story brewing here, AFL journalists are currently writing the story as we speak.

Don't start on the 97 granny..!

Went to every f...kn game that year, what an amazing turnaround during the season..

Our form leading into the finals was unbeatable, should never have lost that one...or 71, 2009, 2010..

 

[Falchoon]

how the hell can Adelaide exceed the salary cap whilst losing at least 3 KPP's a ruckman etc and not finishing above 10th until this year.


On to more practical matters, picks 25 & 26 for Talia. Gives them have at least 2 non penalisable picks in this draft

 

[Savatage]

Wow, what a sensational & relevant way to close that article.

"The AFL would not comment last night, but confirmed that the trade period would end at 2pm tomorrow.".

 

[sauce_head]

I wonder if Adelaide flogs will still whinge when he leaves, despite them cheating...

 

[CHBench]

I haven't really been paying attention to this whole saga, but is this right?

1. Adelaide don't declare the 3rd party deal in 2009
2. Sign off on a stupid arrangement to send Tippet wherever he wants for a 2nd rounder.
3. Adelaide initiate this whole shit storm by running to the AFL to rectify mistake number 2?
4. Salary cap blown.

WTF Adelaide.

WTF Adelaide.

yeap except your missing the written confirmation from back in 2009 that states tippett will receive more money (outside of the cap) when he leaves in 2012. basically pushes adelaide over the cap is the belief.

adelaide were pushed by tippetts lawyers who were going to take the matter to the supreme court given they have a written agreement. i wonder if bundy had something in this?

apparently gold coast reported it to the AFL. faaaarrrkkkkkk. this shit is amazing!!!

Tippett vs Adelaide @ Aami is going to be awesome.

 

[puppy_dog7]

will this mean a carlton like situation, where they lose their picks in the draft? As well as Tippett to be de-registered from AFL?

Which year are we talking?

I reckon so, 24 & 25 it may be then!

 

[SaintLex]

So if hypothetically, Adelaide get penalised for this and lose their draft picks, our two start of second round picks become forst round picks, right?

 

[Kildonan]

Let's not go overboard here. Adelaide have admitted what they have done - there will be an inquest and action will be taken.
Better to not appear gleeful at the prospect of Adelaide's punishment...

 

[Axcellence]

The draft forum posters also mentioned that woods would get consecutive picks in that scenario.

If Adelaide is smart, it will trade its round 1 pick tomorrow to at least delay the impact till next year.

If the Crows have been Carlton like & operating outside the rules, we should have no sympathy for their misfortune. If after investigation, they have been found to have been cheating, they should receive the full punishment for this.

If we receive a benefit, as we did with Goddard & Carlton's lost pick, hooray, the cheats have got what they deserve.

Then there should be no restraint on glee, street dancing, or the popping of champagne corks.

 

[hayes]

Shake my head. Nothing short of the Carlton punishment will suffice, this kind of crap can't be tolerated.

I flagged that as a possibility earlier on in the other thread, I guess they would!
