I thought taking Bling and the Bus was sufficient goodwill. Nice folks in Adeliade.

confirmed on the crows website, unreal. They know they're guilty and looking for a softer sentence?

Dumbest club in afl history,
I hope the AFL still bends them over and bans them for the next 20 drafts

Adelaide dodo birds,

Even funnier would be where the AFL accepts they have no case to answer or merely seeks to fine them, meanwhile they have effectively missed out on a year's drafting.
 
Adelaide must have a guilty conscious. Why would you volunteer not to use your top 2 draft picks if you were innocent?

It helps the Tigers in the draft though so good on them.
 
Just goes to show that its all been agreed to - they (Adelaide) know they are guiltly and the AFL have most likely told them what their medicine will be.

What is still to be determined is what happens to Tippett, hence why his lawyer is the one jumping every which way.

It's crap, they haven't pulled out on there terms. The AFL is behind it!
The meat heads couldn't arrange a meeting and the out cry has been too much for the AFL.
So the afl rings them, "pull out of this draft And we won't slap you as bad"
 
Smart work by the Crows at first glance.

pick 54 is really no different to the pick they will actually use i.e. 65 or whatever they will come in at now.

So really they have given up one pick (20) & can say they've dealt themselves out of the entire draft as an an early guilty plea.

exactly. they have removed themselves from a draft they had crap picks in, with the hope that they stay in drafts they will have better picks in.

Gee, Ollie even looks like a junior Dustin Martin.

I haven't seen his long-range kicking; hope it's as good.

Seems to be better 'life-focused' than Dustin too.

If he can kick, that's the type of midfielder we want.

I've wanted Simpson right up until I saw that footage. This is the kid for me now - looks an absolute gem.

These highlights don't really fill u with joy. They r supposed to be highlights but all they show is him bustling in n out of packs. Hmmm.....don't know heaps about him but highlights don't get me excited. I hope others who know more r right if we get him.

Really? You don't like goal kicking mids that bust out of packs? Plenty of that going on in that package.
 
If the Dogs go Stringer and Macrae, we are in for a real shot at choosing between Wines and Vlastuin

it appears no other club is interested in Vlastuin

Just about every draft has us taking Vlastuin, I really hoping for a surprise tomorrow but I doubt it will happen.
