Matt Rendell has far more integrity that Trigg.
It's all the SANFL's fault.

I thought Adelaide was going to get flogged by a wet lettuce leaf but Vlad is a fairly sneaky customer so Trigg stays. Bad luck Smarty.

i heard radio news report that Trigg says he isnt a cheat but blames time as one of the factors for the deal

so he cheated, he couldnt get the deal done legally in the time permitted to every other team.

Just admit it ffs

Did anyone else hear Chapman defending the sacking of Rendell saying he would have been afforded the same concessions as Trigg had it been an isolated incident.
Just wondering what he may have been alluding to there?

He probably should resign.
But I highly doubt he is the only CEO that has pulled a dodgy deal in the last 3 years to help keep his club's squad together.
The fact that he/they bent over for Tippet (an ok football player with zero commitment to the club) is the most frustrating thing.

Concussion 3 times in 1 season says he was a little committed.

I probably should have said LOYALTY to the club.

3 concussions in 1 season tells me he lacks awareness.

You cannot question his commitment relating to his football. He busted his ass constantly and got the ball bombed on his head to compete against multiple defedners for years (a FWD is only as good as the delivery he can get). Concussions etc made it all the more frustrating for us as supporters then esspecailly frustrating when a good player wants to leave. The amount of money he was paid etc and the whole saga is what has got peoples name out of joint - fair enough as well but his commitment cant be questioned when in the jumper on the field.

Im impartial to anything that happens at the Crows. I really didnt care which way the hearing went or who suspended/fined etc. I listen to 5AA on the way home from work to catch up sports news, and the last month or so has been non-stop chatter about this thing. Really you could cover it in one show, and its gone on forever. Heres all they had to say...

- The Crows staff broke the rules. It doesnt matter if it was a big breach or a small breach, or if other clubs have done it too. They broke them.

- The Crows and staff have been found guilty, been fined and suspended and should now get on with it. There's is no justification for breaking the rules, no matter how hard Trigg tries.

- Tippett actually stayed quiet during the whole thing. He pleaded guilty and copped his fine and suspension. Now he is not on the Crows list and no longer has anything to do with them. Forget about him.

- End of story, talk about something else.

Also, I dont like the way Cornes talks to people. He really is a pompous dickhead. The Adelaide member who called last night and said he'd been a member for 20 years and had bought 4 season tickets a year for every one of those years should not have his loyalty to the club questioned.

He wanted the people responsible for the breaches to be fired. His opinion should be heard, not shot down. He should not be called stupid just because he's not a biassed wanker. Its a fact that Cornes still has strong ties to the Crows, when he should be impartial if he's to be a credible media person.

Well said HH3.

I don't usually pine for the AFL season to commence, but I am this time around because I'm sick to ******* death of hearing the same stuff over and over again .. Thank **** for the SEN iPhone App.

I dont support Trigg, Chapman, the admin girl etc

I support the AFC, the players that play for my side and aslong as the club is financially strong I dont care who is in charge. Trigg and Chapman have managed the club through a financial crisis etc yes they have made a big mistake but while they are keeping AFC financially viable/strong and I get to see the players i support doing well and the player supported with the things they need to succeed ie coaching/resources/infrastructure ill be happy they are in charge.

Trigg offered his resignation, it was declined. The board are backing him in as the best person for the job, he is taking more than his punishment with loss of income and is still committed to AFC. He could easily walk away and get a job elsewhere earning good coin.

I understand people in the media are fans as well, and like to stick up for their team. But there's a point when you have to admit they did something wrong. Most Adelaide supporters on this forum will agree the Crows deserved what they got. You cant pick and choose which rules or laws you want to follow. And as soon as someone that isnt sucking the Crows dick rings up, he yells over them, calls them stupid and says hes had enough of them. It actually gets me pretty angry on the way home. But I wont stop listening coz there isnt an alternative for sports news.

Yeah,
I'm not bagging Tippet's commitment to his footy. No way. He isnt a natural footballer, but he has worked hard on his game. No doubt
To me, it was obvious a long time ago that he was just biding his time in Adelaide. Several of us on this site thought that they should have traded him a couple of seasons ago. He had zero loyalty to AFC.

He wanted out, but Trigg, The Crows & Tippets manager tried something dodgy, stuffed up the paperwork & now the lad is on the sidelines for 6 months & theyve all been fined.
I reckon Trigg must walk. That is a MAJOR stuff up. Too major IMO
Yeah, Naah,..... Bollocks!

They avoided the question last night, I get the impression that he was on his last chance and in the interests of Rendell they do not want to divulge his previous indiscretions.

Not sure that is the right tact as many Crows fans are very dirty about it all, think they need to make a clearer statement about the situation and not hope it will just go away.
