Jenny is essentially correct in what she says.

I don't know whether it actually got to drawing up a contract stage, but his manager had indicated at the end of a week to the Crows after a long period of negotiation that it looked like there was a deal acceptable to his client, and that he thought that his client would be signing up after the week-end. Of course that's when the 3rd concussion came into play, and Tippett went home for 10 days or so to recover with his family, and Sydney made their first approach up in Brisbane, which gave Tippett another viable alternative after Brisbane and the Gold Coast wouldn't/couldn't pay the type of money that Adelaide were prepared to pay.

Our problem of course was that he had us over a barrel and we were prepared to break rules - irrespective of who's idea it was to insert the clearance clause in a separate contract (rumoured to be initiated by Tippett senior).

The big lesson in all of this to any club is that while you should do everything in your power to re-sign key players, it just ain't worth it to break the rules, or if you are going to take the chance and do so (like Vic clubs have done in the past), you most certainly don't put it in print.
Has this version been confirmed by anyone other than who it claims to exonerate?

Sorry Warren you'll understand if I take your so called "insider" knowledge with a large grain of salt? Repeating the claim that the club was hoodwinked doesn't make it more true or justifiable ;)

Ps this is the same commission that says melbourne didn't tank, but Bailey took it upon himself after divine intervention to alter selection

If you are believe what the commission is selling, no wonder you believe the manure out of west lakes.
You'd better get back to peddling that chicken shit that you're renowned for Colonel.

What I've posted here re Tippett was no divine secret - it was well known in the industry, not just by Jenny and me.

Alternatively you expect people to accept your garbled invented versions, confusing them even further with references to the Bailey case which is totally irrelevant to any individual situation in the Tippett affair.

You started badly Colonel, and you're deteriorating.

Sanders was just saying that when Tippett was reluctant to re-sign at the end of 2009 the "clause" may have been our idea. A carrot to convince him to sign.
Don't worry Carl, maybe Wazza is right.

Maybe we were hoodwinked by those big city slickers from north queensland?

What hope do our farm boys have against their wily ways. If only we were part of a national competition where we could attract our own slickers to fight our corner?

Alas not

Oh that was clear enough, Carl.

Firstly, we don't know that, and the general sentiment in the industry is the reverse of that.

Secondly, it really doesn't matter who thought of it. It was illegal, and both parties were prepared to sign it.

To suggest we should apologise to the Tippetts is just plain lunacy!!

Your attempt at sarcasm Colonel matches the very poor quality of your chicken. :)

See Waz, what did i tell you false modesty doesn't become you ;)

So I assume well known within the industry, by jenny & you actually means that No your version has not been confirmed by anyone other than by those who it exonerates.

Do you wear those cool druid like monk robes at your "industry" meetings. Are there candles? Can anyone join, is there a secret handshake? :D

Say hi to Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman for me at the next meeting :p :D
My information comes from a senior Crow employee, unlike your invented garbled twaddle.

As for the rest of your posts, I didn't realize that the foul chicken you sell has such an hallucinary effect on the poor consumer. :D

You are a complete waste of space who contributes nothing. Suggest you depart for another club 's board since you are clearly not an Adelaide supporter. Oh and take your cronies with you.

That's my point Waz, I never doubted that this information came from within the Crows and not from the "wider" industry.

the official line from west lakes does not stand up to scrutiny, and its not the industry view. Its the view of a 1/18th participant - and the one accused of professional misconduct. Conflict much?

It doesn't matter whether its the official public line, it matters whether the official public line is fair or accurate

Might also be an idea not to represent west lakes PR with wider industry consensus.

The funny thing about your posts is that you seem to equate supporting the admin with supporting the club.

I wonder if you have always believed that?

Ps. Should I cancel my order for the robes? :D

Well said fairfooty, I agree entirely with your sentiments.
The constant mindless negative dribble is endless.

Your ability to confuse facts with fantasy seems to know no bounds Colonel.

At the time I was told that, there was no Tippett affair. It was a piece of information re where Tippett was up to in respect of re-signing or not.

That is not supporting the club, nor is it bashing the guts out of it, which is your favourite sport.

As for ordering robes, I suggest you order yourself a jacket - a strait one. :D

You've claimed your source is a board member (not really fussed if true btw); and we know the claim is that the board was kept in the dark...

Board Member (BM): hey twiggy, how's negotiations going with that wascally wabbitt Kurt Tippett?

Stefan Twigg (ST): er... Its going fine. Honest just a bit longer

BM: you sure? been dragging on a bit, getting a bit worried after you turned down Brisbane's Booty in trade week. That clause has been fixed right? RIGHT?

ST: yeah yeah, um... Blucher tells me he's ready to sign. (Fingers crossed)

BM: you're a good man Twiggy, i know you'd never let us down

ST: sure won't boss (brown undies time)

if the board has been mislead along with ourselves, I don't see why an assurance given to a board member should assure us

Particularly as it conflicts with a number of known facts as discussed above

You're not a supporter? i rather thought you claimed you were

Oooh kinky. I've heard about you druid masonic types :p

1) Your reading difficulties are becoming clearer and clearer, Colonel. Nowhere did I say that I wasn't a supporter overall.

I am. You're the one that's got the suspicion of doubt hovering over him.

2)You can tell from your squeals of sexual gratification while posting that heap of garbage that you don't know me. I would be the exact antithesis of those types that seemed to make you squeal with delight!! :D

As for your attempt at a Carl Spackler type of humour, it was reasonably humorous, but irrelevant.

Have we finished abusing each other for the night Colonel? :D

Overall? Sounds very conditional

There you go again, confusing your accusation with fact. Nasty habit that :)

Oooh "antithesis" if only it was on a double word score

Ps. I would prefer it if you didn't visualise or picture my squeals of sexual gratification, that's a bit creepy

As for your attempt at a Carl Spackler type of humour, it was reasonably humorous, but irrelevant.
Not sure i follow you, but ok. Whatever.

Have we finished abusing each other for the night Colonel? :D
I've not been abusing you Warren, just not treating your wafer thins assertions & specious logic with the undying reverence you obviously feel they deserve.

you however have been rather in-gracious, although I note this is not out character ;)

You've wasted many minutes of your life dreaming up this irrelevant unnecessary post Colonel.

Not sure what it contributes to anything really.

I suggest that its back to the kitchen with you and you resume cooking those foul grease-laden chicken pieces which are more your specialty and trademark. :p
