Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Players wouldn't get paid for appearing on The Footy Show, it's a media commitment, like being interviewed on 5AA... Nice publicity for their clubs but nothing illegal

Bahahahaha!!! Sure they don't. Players love nothing more than giving up their free time for nothing in return.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

It's the AFL's classic "make shit up as we go along" strategy. Been in place for years now.

Yep. The only rule Vlad seems to abide by is the fact that he can make up whatever rules he wants to suit the current situation.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

I remember many times in here some people saying that they hate that we have this squeaky clean image. Well I guess that's fixed now! honestly I don't give a **** what people think of us off the field. It's on the field that matters. We need to own what's happened. It's a part of our history now. Can't wait until its over, the draft will happen (taking focus off us), then the tanking investigation will happen (putting focus on Melbourne) then the season will be here. It's not the end of the world.

I doubt people would have hated us having a squeaky clean image. I think the issue was more that we seemed to be the good little kid that did whatever Daddy Vlad told us to do without any complaint, even when doing so didn't seem to be in the club's best interests.

How's the view in your ass?

Players do get paid for TFS appearances, but it's club and AFL approved.

So, how many other people are at the point where they don't care what the AFL do to us, they just want this whole mess to be over?

I'm not quite there yet, but I don't think I'm too far off it.

Im surprised you can still type Jenny, thought you would have worn your finger prints off by now

No one involved in this has a job next year, or every Adelaide member should not renew. This club deserves no money, no backing, no support. Corruption. At the moment it is not a club.

I had a serious case of RSI after that first week (and I mean I had to wear a wrist brace and all for a few days!) but thankfully it's settled down now.

Yeah really corrupt, from two individuals, one of which doesn't work here anymore.

Van Berlo Manager hits out

Young declared his client’s deal was straight forward and had no unusual clauses attached.
He said he is aware that all Crows players are under strict AFL scrutiny as the league continues to investigate irregularities into Tippett’s deal that is headed for next week’s full commission hearing.
"We all accept that there is an ongoing investigation at the AFL," Young said
"However it is ridiculous to suggest that any other player is involved with a Tippett-type contract.
“It’s an absolute disgrace that somebody can write a beat-up like this and connect Nathan van Berlo to anything deceitful.
“I can’t believe this and Nathan is flabbergasted.
“Nathan van Berlo is certainly not embroiled in the Kurt Tippett contract dispute with the AFL.
"I can assure anybody of that.
"I spoke with Nathan late into Thursday night about this rubbish that has been written regarding his contract.
“He is pretty disillusioned with an industry that can do what is going on away from the playing field and the football side of the AFL right at the moment.”
Young declared that all negotiations with Crows management at van Berlo’s last contract in 2010 were “completely above board”.

Ive renewed, my son's renewed and I'll have another membership by the time this is all over. Now more than ever they need us.

If you want to **** off, go right ahead. But no jumping back on when we make the GF next year.

 

[Hank93]

Crow-eater You beat me to it! Made me feel a lot better. Emphatically denied it.

Hopefully VB is undertaking legal advice. If he can sue, he should.

I'd chip in $5 to the cause.

Yeah thats the spirit. Shoot down everyone on the back of a wierd media frenzy. What a negative, defeatist view!

 

[jenny61_99]

I didn't realise our side had been gagged. Why wasn't the otherside gagged too? Or, as some expect, the AFL leaks that have been feeding stuff to EQ and CW? Now maybe we've chosen not to fight back/rock the boat/make waves until after all the facts are in the public domain, but it must have been KILLING us to see all this crap dribbled.

 

[Cap]

yes Emma Quayle , the deliverer of truth, the presenter of facts and not a day time soap opera writer.

 

[Cap]

in addition, I would love to have that kind of attitude within the club.

 

[Crowbots are dead]

Van Berlo info can only be coming from sources close to the investigation. The Crows have no motive, Tippett camp would be privy to this information so that leaves the AFL. The AFL are looking more and more ametuerish by the day.

Also, they have constructed their own little 'AFL legal world' where you have to prove your innocence!! WTF this has more in common with some Middle Eastern judical systems than ours. It is just ridiculous and has no chance of standing up in court.

When this is over if all or most of the charges are not proven THEN the AFL owes a huge apology for this mess and in particular to all those that are having thier reputation publically dragged through the mud.

Kudos for keeping your latest rant down to 3 sentences. I normally only read the first line of your pathetic hysteria, but given your effort to be concise this time I actually read the whole thing. 30 seconds I will never get back.
