Well it increasingly looks like all our draft picks will be all moving forward to earlier picks depending on how many Adelaide have in front of our first pick.

...well Adelaide don't have any in front of 12 & 13 so now we only have a 12 pick downgrade on both picks for Hickey & Lee. Less if everything goes our way and Swans/someone else are made to use their first one on Tippett, I expect Tippett to be involved in the PSD but I can hope he goes in the national draft!

On that, clubs should be allowed to trade PSD picks also!

Well that has been the case since the s*** hit the fan earlier in the week.

Main question for me is whether the AFL just hits them this year by removing their early trade picks, or this year and next.

Geez, they must be spewing they didn't kick one more goal against Hawthorn in the prelim. It's going to be a long way back for them, methinks...

I wonder what Sanderson thinks of the predicament the Crows staff have gotten the whole club into....

[hungry for a premiership]

The thing I don't understand about this whole Tippett furore is, why would Adelaide go to the AFL and effectively "rat themselves out" and tell the AFL about the secret contract? Jeez, if you're going to cheat, at least go all the way with it... am I right?

Some news articles speculate that Tippet's manager was threatening to sue them if they didn't trade him to Sydney already so they turned themselves in instead.

... and better still..., then gone on to kick two more goals than Hawthorn did in the Grand Final...

Now that would really have gotten the hounds baying... and the AFL squirming.

[Con Gorozidis]

Thats what happens when you get a 'Manager" with no legal training.
This Blucher clown totally screwed himself and his client. Big mouthed idiot.

Suck to the Crows and sucks to Tippet and his Mgr. Hope he ends up at Port Power.

I think the Suns and Lions were going to rat them out anyway because Blucher had told them about the deal Tippett had with the Crows.

Crows should fess up and take it on the chin.

Makes me wonder what goes on other clubs though - especially the Pies.

Why them, why not us or any other club?

[Con Gorozidis]

Cos Pies seem to do more wheeling and dealing than most clubs.

Yep and they got rid of 2 guys that would be on good money.

Because they "KNEW" that the AFL were on their way to visit them. Better to appear to rat on yourself than to get caught with your fingers in the cookie jar !!

Yep, and got "OVERS" for both of them !!

"Overs" and "Unders" - would have to be the most overused words on the forum this year! I can't remember any other trade period where these words were used to such a saturation point.

[defacto]

adelaide dobbed them selves in because every party related to tippet was going to tell the AFL:
1) gold coast knew and were going to tell the afl
2) apparently white from sydney was going to squeel when adelaide went cold
3) tippetts management were launching legal action
4) afl were got on the scent, apparently adelaide got marched out of afl house when they tried to lodge the tippett trade paper work

I refuse to comment on there stupidity because you never know what the clowns ( sorry i mean ) officials at our club do !

[sax]

So Adelaide will probably be banned from this years draft & now Melbourne might be for that matter.

An interesting point is, what will happen with Melbourne's pick 27 which was to be used on Jack Viney?

Will they still be able to draft him?
