We don't know that it isn't in writing, but I suspect it is the mistake Trigg has made in all of this.

Well, no.

If we were aware of an illegal term (just leaving aside who authorised it from the beginning), we would have had a duty to disclose it at the point we became aware. Forming the illegal contract is the original offense (or so I believe?). It may mitigate the extent of the wrong doing though.

Why would people burn the club down if they had come out an told us the truth, that we were being shafted and being asked for ridiculous clauses and financial gains from the tippett camp? Surely that would have been a better option, than to go down the path they chose to.

Again, cmon, tell me a club who would ever or has ever done that? There is no way something that confidential would ever see the light of day, unless one party stabs the other in the back.

Of course there are better options in any situation, but it's very easy in hindsight to say these types of things.

Wasn't a contract persay. It was an unofficial agreement. I think once Triggy discovered it was actually in play, he wanted to get clarification from the AFL if the Tippett camp could force us to stand by it. Clearly the AFL said no, they can't.

Haha, yeah dude, like anyone involved would go public with stuff like that. Get a grip of reality and the situation at the time. You weren't here in 2009, but mate, this board would have gone into a bigger meltdown that the current one. Stop being delusional that the public pressure wasn't a big factor in going all out to get him to stay.

Stop being delusional in thinking that this is an acceptable excuse. :rolleyes:

They took a risk, and it blew up in their face. Now, they need to deal with the consequences. This is a professional organisation, and Trigg is its CEO. As much as you'd like it to be the case, shifting the blame to the other parties and outside pressures is not an acceptable way of dealing with the consequences.

Seriously Jenny isn't the only one defending Trigg, and by doing so doesn't mean that she has to have a bias in her opinion. People should be held to account if they muck up, sure, but the are a whole lot of Crows supporters who are prepared to Lynch our own from a trial by media.
If the clause did read for a "minimum" second round pick, I don't think that's selling us down the river either.

Don't tell me he's involved too? Might give EQ a heads up that she has another day's acticle sewn up.

But what did it mean??? :oops:

I was just equating being adelaide football club captain with the being the world heavyweight champion (or tag team champions as the schtik would have it.)
I.e. I cracked the shits when they alleged wrongdoing on vB's part.

Very close to horses mouth, its near $20k

Caro's line was fair - there is a potential conflict between all of their interests; that's what she is saying that it can't be guaranteed everyone's horses will be lined up in a row at all times

That is not the impression Rob Chapman gave on 5aa tonight

Ah yes of course. Your own little area of bias! ;) I notice you had been reasonably quiet on this whole topic until vb was dragged into it. :D I don't mind though, because I'm on your side in that regard.

No, but it is a way of trying to understand the course of action taken.

there would have been nothing anyone could do. No one blamed the club for losing bock or geelong for losing ablett

Compensation was a bit trickier.

People would have been angry at losing him, not sure it would have been clubs fault?

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.

Stop being a w***er and thinking your assumptions make you any more correct than me. I couldn't give a rats arse about your opinion, but trying to pass it off as fact is what's pissing me off.

If you are proven correct Friday, then so be it, but stop pretending you have any inkling of exactly what has gone on before the investigation is over. I'm simply defending the club as it's idiots like you thinking every media report is 100% correct and therefore no one elses opinions count.

That seems to be in short supply around here so its no wonder ;)

Given this new air of triumph can you share with me what has changed?

Seriously I'm not sure what these new developments are that everyone is celebrating
Click to expand...

I think the new developments may be from 5aa saying that affidavits have been obtained from all third-parties sponsor/businesses, saying they initiated the deals and not the club.

And angry little man BACCS surfaces again. You're in no position to be calling anybody a w***er.
 
Sanders said:
So you choose 4 independent defences when only 1 is necessary?

Fair waste of clubs resources isn't it? ;)

Not if you are being tried by media because of an inept and leaking afl who just happen to be judge, juror and executioner.
