This is the best thing that has happen just goes to show what sort of person/people the Tippett clan are! whatever the penalty it is better than having a leech in amongst the playing group.....gee I wonder what Sando is thinking right at the moment?
Sydney would have definetly known about the arrangement(Tippett would have told them about it back in August) and were basically black mailing the Crows to which the Crows responded by coming clean with this side agreement.

The difference is that the Crows had created an addendum to a contract that was never filed with the AFL. The Crows were also paying the brother of a player who had no connection to the club at all in an agreement that was never approved by the AFL and was not included in our salary cap. If we were close to the cap last year the Joel Tippett deal might have us over the salary cap.

Irrespective of what the club tries to claim about not thinking they were doing anything wrong, ignorance is no defence. If the allegations are true then I am expecting us to be caned by the AFL for this and if we are in deed punished by the AFL and it's true then Steven "pathetic" Trigg needs to be given his marching orders for bringing the club into disrepute.
What's more, failure to report the payment to JT is a breach in itself, regardless of whether or not it put us over the salary cap.

If I were a vindictive Crows supporter I would be contacting my local State MP and asking them to get the Police Minister to order the cops to look into the signing of a false stat dec. Under the Oaths act it it is an offence for "intentionally making a false declaration for the purpose of material gain". Penalties range from a fine to imprisonment. KT to sit out 2013 in Yatala ?
He's already wanted here for the crime of impersonating a professional footballer, so this will just get tacked onto that investigation ;)

But it's not a second round pick this year. To paraphrase, it's the equivalent of pick 16 in a normal year.
No, its the equivalent of pick 23 in a normal year, which would sit in the second round. doesn't matter who owns the picks before and after, pick 23 is still pick 23. The value loss is in ladder positioning.

That's true to an extent. The circumstantial evidence is pretty good though, and what really hurts is the fact that the club pretty much denied the existence of the agreement until it became obvious that it was going to come out, and then they ran cap in hand to the AFL.
For what it's worth, the club were always careful in only denying the existence of the agreement in the official contract.
THe scary thought is that they were sanctioning the White + 23 trade apparatnlty only in order to hide the existence of the agreement. But as you say, we need to wait for the end of the AFL investigation to know for sure.
As far as I can see this is pure speculation. The fact is, Sydney/Tippet were giving us this or it was the PSD and nothing. Isn't this debacle murky enough without making things up?

Anyone want to take a bet that the AFL will set things up so Tippett winds up at GWS next year for nothing via the PSD?

This would suit the AFL agenda perfectly.
Yep, you can see Vlad in his office laughing right now.

If he's not de-registered (which he should be) my bet is he goes into the draft/PSD without being able to specify a price, and GWS will be laughing all the way to the bank.
