Should Steven Trigg resign?

[Johno6]

if you mute the video and then pretend he is asking for directions, it looks legit as

Can't vote on this one.

Am not a member.

Realistically, someone's head will roll.

Said it before if its proven we've cheated the salary cap then we deserve what we get. The draft tampering issue is the biggest load of crud I've seen but and if we get punished for that then the AFL may have a fight on their hands I suspect. Plenty of players have dictated where they want to go pre-draft before and they have the opportunity to knock back playing for another club if they jump in before. If that's not draft tampering then I don't know what is.

Not sure many of then have it form part of their contract though

[LaughingKookaburra]

And? The 2nd club would have to agree to the terms aswell otherwise its just pointless... Now he goes to Sydney so its a non issue anyway.
This does not make sence the Crows shit themselves and went to the league if he hasn't followed his forbidden contract terms. There will be more to this

You missed my point, having it as part of the contract implied or otherwise is breaking the rules

[LaughingKookaburra]

And you missed my point that it has the exact same outcome as a players verbal comments repeated by his manager in front of taped media. Maybe it will force a change it's hypocritical.

Not sure what you mean mate?

What I'm saying is that if a player has made their intentions clear before a draft that they want to go to a certain club and they also put a price on their head then that itself is tampering with the draft process and also if another club picks them up and doesn't meet their needs then that player refuses to play there....what is the difference to a gentlemans agreement written or not? The lead up and outcome is still the same and I reckon if the AFL took action then the Crows in my opinion should take the AFL to court as they have been treated unfairly no matter what rules the AFL have.
Also if he didn't go there then the contract is void anyway and the Crows shouldn't have a case to answer.
The Vic's are great @ changing rules to suit them I wonder if this will be changed also.

[Dutchy]

Crows and Tippett have a secret contract to trade him on for a Round 2 pick and say the Hawks really want Tippett and they offer Pick 1 plus Franklin and Rioli and the Crows refuse and trade him for a Round 2 pick to Sydney - tell me how that isnt tampering with the draft?

[mighty_tiger_79]

restraint of trade

[LaughingKookaburra]

I'm not saying any of it is fair. I'm just saying its unfair this instance is under scrutiny when it happens in other forms and no action is taken.

Nearly the biggest waste of a sentence i think i have read on here, now its the Vics fault!

[LaughingKookaburra]

Nice twisting of my sentence mate. Never said it was their fault I just stated they are good @ changing rules when it suits them....do you want some examples? What I'm getting @ is that this is a hypocitical rule and its not really anyone's fault but it needs to be changed so its equal @ all levels.

Yeah, that should resolve all of the issues

[Mr Beefy]

Who cares what happens with the draft tampering allegation - it's the salary cap breaches that are going to bring them down.

[LaughingKookaburra]

No doubt you are right Beefy and if we are proven guilty then we deserve our punishment.
Has anyone from the AFL come out yet and said they are suspected of any of the over payments or is it just the media going berserk? Why would the AFL let the Swans potentially sign Tippett today if there was potential that he can be suspended leaving the Swans potentially paying a bloke who can't play?
Otherwise of the coin is if he is getting side payments that people are not meant to know about you would think the ATO would look in to this also.....

Well, Mike Rann will be happy. He definitely will not be the most loathed man in South Australia any more.
