Tippett's Gone - READ RULES BEFORE POSTING

[jenny61_99]

Over the past 2 years, we have lost Bock, Davis, Gunston and now Tippett for basically Brad Crouch, Sam Kerridge, Josh Jenkins and Luke Brown.

Someone has to start questioning the decisions we are making with our players.

You forgot Gus!

This is insane!

With new developments coming out everyday and multiple threads discussing the various intricacies of this whole affair, is anyone else having trouble keeping up to speed?!

AFC board strategy meeting.

You forgot Gus!

No I didn't. That pick had nothing to do with those trades. That pick was always ours.

 

[fabs33]

You forgot Gus!

Maybe he didn't.

Maybe he's just a nonentity.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Good to see us engineering a backroom deal to get us out of the last backroom deal we made.

Whether it is us or the AFL pulling the strings, this is a "make it up as you go" shambles.

A plea bargain... so much for our protestations of innocence

Did we get a 25% discount for an early plea...

Some charges against Crows & individuals, relating to salary cap rorts & draft tampering, may be dropped soon. @tennewsadel #AFL

Interesting...

Tambling?

Having said all of that, anyone who voted to send Tippett to the PSD rather than accept pick 20 really has no right to be complaining about losing Tiprat for nothing.

Bullshit. We wanted the club to make a stand so we send a message that we won't be messed with. If pick 20 was the price for future gain then so be it. But all we've got is future loss. We've got plenty of reason to complain.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Let's be real. If Tippett signed on, he was gone.

And he will be gone this time next year as I doubt he will play more than 2 or 3 games next year.

 

[Hendersloane]

Hope we got something in writing if this is some sort of "gentleman's agreement" with the AFL.......

Interesting...

wtf!

Isnt that what they did?

Yes! It just gets more and more bizarre as it goes. I have no idea what's going to happen next.

Happy to let him go for nothing to send a message, not happy to lose him for nothing because of our own stupidity.

I was pulling your chain.

 

[fabs33]

I guess it depends on whether or not we were the ones who said no to Pick 23 + White.

Not the time, not the day Jenny.

Day from hell.

 

[Vic_Vinegar]

Let's be real. If Tippett signed on, he was gone.

When he does play here next it might be worth trundling out the geriatric choir to put the fear of God into him.

 

[jenny61_99]

Day from hell.

Sorry lovey.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Not the time, not the day Jenny.

Day from hell.

Day from Hell, little extreme?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Day from Hell, little extreme?

Maybe, lets try purgatory then.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Day from Hell, little extreme?

Did you know I coined that phrase?

 

[Emperoar]

Back room deals to sort out the back room deals which began this mess in the first place. Highschool problems were handled better than this entire fiasco.

Yes, they do actually. There is a big difference between trying to send a message to other clubs that you won't be bent over at the trade table, versus being forced to lose a player for nothing due to a draft tampering and salary cap rorting investigation. And not only have we lost Tippett for nothing, we've also lost additional draft picks that had nothing to do with him.
