Can you translate that last bit for me?? o_O

And thank you. I see your point re bias and will try to reign it in.

Well done some of my more recent posts about this subject will be a little behind as I'm a few pages back.

Haha, have you seen how posters have reacted to the club losing Davis and Bock? There are plenty who blame the club for losing those blokes. Tippett was like God in this town at the end of 2009, I really don't think people remember how large his media profile and importance to us was back then. No one could have predicted Tex would come on as he did.

Most of the vile would have been directed at Tippett for wanting to leave and if we came out and said we were going to make him close to our Highest paid player and he still left I don't think many would have blamed the club. Most people except the Davis and Bock left because of rediculous money. Same would have applied to Tippett.

My understanding it was $14k per day? Still not cheap by any account. And Caro Wilsons suggestion that the adjournment happened because the Club didn't have faith in either Trigg or Harper so they had to hire their own representation is just laughable! She's just bloody making stuff up. All four lawyers have been hired by the Club to act on behalf of the Club, each focussing on the individual charges.

She actually wrote...'it became evident the Crows board could not support either man' (Trigg, Harper)... I would say this is just pure journalistic licence. The use of the words 'It became evident' is a time honoured way of presenting something devoid of a genuine source. Also the aspersion that the Board cannot 'support' either man is another turn of phrase which is designed to imply they are 'rats from a sinking ship'.

My mail is that that is not the case, rather as I suggested.

Without wanting to question your mail, that really doesnt make much sense. The only way the move makes sense is if the parties are being seperately represented.

Its not really like we needed more lawyers. We'd have a firm of solicitors working with the QC.

Yep. We lost our highest paid player for nothing.

Even if there are zero further penalties this will go down as the biggest **** up in Crows history.

If there are further penalties then it's even worse.

Agree with ST, only way to afford procedural fairness to what is effectively 4 co-defendants (albeit 3 being officers/former officers of the other) is for each to be represented separately.

Many ways that the Club's interests may conflict with Reid's interests etc. Would potentially put the lawyers in a situation where their duties were conflicted rendering them unable to act. Much cleaner (although also much more expensive) this way.

Another milestone slips by (above) Post number 22222 !! I guessed we would have a result by that number - but now with all the delays 33333 is looking more probable :)

this development tells us KT is genuinely fearful of ending up at GWS. maybe Jude Bolton agreeing to play on means the Swans no longer have the cash to outbid everyone else?

Well they apparently want to lock in Hannelbery on a $500k plus contract which would make him one of the highest paid youngsters in the comp. Lucky they've got the living allowance:rolleyes:

the biggest was not trading him in 2011 but hindsight is a wonderful thing

Its not hindsight, it was stupidity. They were deluding themselves if they thought he would stay. They knew about the explosiveness of the clause. I can not believe they took such a big gamble with the clubs future and reputation.

They were very confident he was staying. They actually thought he was ready to sign just before finals this year. Up until then every indication was that he would sign a long term contract.

Naive??? Dunno
