Crows in trouble - CHEATS

[mighty_tiger_79]

bugger!! It would be nice if something else came out of left field for the budgies to worry about!

[Booney]

Plus all clubs are aware he's PSD bound, so most could get him if they really wanted, it's not like he'd have high salary demands.

Crows have plenty on their plate to sort out, but don't see this as being one of them.

I agree, was merely posing the question with the AFC under the spotlight they are under....

The Adelaide Football Club has withdrawn its first two selections of tomorrow’s 2012 NAB National Draft as a gesture of goodwill towards resolving the Tippett matter.

Chairman Rob Chapman described it as a common-sense initiative that is in the Club’s overall best interests.

It would result in Adelaide having picks 62, 81 and 95 in tomorrow's draft.

“We are in ongoing discussions with the AFL,” Mr Chapman said.

“This gesture forms part of those discussions and is made in good faith.

“There are pressing deadlines with the Draft and our priority is to see Nick Joyce back on our main list. This will now happen at the Pre-Season Draft.

“So we see this as a pragmatic gesture made in good faith. It’s all about seeking the best overall outcome for the Adelaide Football Club.”

This.

Sounds to me the AFL are pulling the strings on this one.. There is no way in the world the club would especially give up pick 20 if there was no bonus in doing so

Exactly trying to get a plea deal before being sent to the big house......

[Dissident]

Exactly.

Crows lose pick 20 in a good draft year.

For the "better of the club".

So the better must be good!

[OnSong]

Crows. Just great honest blokes.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I'd say no. Have your picks this year, start next year with -points, and miss out on first 2 picks in the following 2 drafts

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Most probably the Adelaide lads will now get picked by an interstate club and never come back to Adelaide as they will end up on good wickets.

[Dutchy]

They are still tampering with the draft!

[overloaded]

What a load of carp. I doubt anything the Crows hierarchy say will ever be trusted again.

They could have had picks 21, 23, 54 and Jesse White, now they have nothing... Time to go Triggy

[Jim05]

But they are still innocent, just giving up picks out of the goodness of their hearts
Hope the AFL still whacks them next year

[Rik E Boy]

What a crock of shit. As a gesture of goodwill turn it up. If the AFL let the Blackbirds fly this shite then watch the rorting fire up big time.

Especially if the depth of the draft this year is rumoured to be thin. I hope they lose picks next year as well. Loaderbollocks.

[Tassie Blues]

[Dutchy]
