Mcgaune is like Lewis Robert Thompson.

A very poor version

A sexier version

Yessss, but is that really that big of a compliment?

Adelaide in trouble for draft tampering. 

[one-eyed]

Adelaide is trying to get Sydney to continue to pay Jesse White's contract as part of any Tippett trade deal so they can hurt the Swans salary cap wise.

if adelaide made that agreement with tippett it isnt draft tampering at all. it has nothing to do with the draft and the precedent was set years ago with FIGJAM and the bears.

SAINTS are offering pick 26 & Jamie Cripps for Mitch Brown.
Saints are also offering pick 47 for Gilham.

BULLDOGS are holding out and hoping WC cave in and take 51 for Koby Stevens. The Bulldogs are also looking at someone for 44.

COLLINGWOOD wants Stefan Martin but aren't willing to pass up 21 for him.  BRISBANE should get him with 33 today.

HAWTHORN is looking at Jordan Gysberts at pick 28 but Essendon will probably get him at at 35 because the Hawks aren't sure about his work ethic - that's why Neeld doesn't want him at Melbourne. The pies are sniffing around, too.

Farren Ray looks destined to go to MELBOURNE for pick 49 and that might be thrown into the Brown deal. Basically it would become Cripps + #26 + #49.

Hayden Jolly to go to Port Adelaide from Gold Coast, who want pick 38 for Taylor Hine at least to go to North Melbourne.

Melbourne wanted 21 for Stefan Martin??

Melbourne wanted 21 for Stefan Martin?? 

I'm guessing that they want a pick in the 30s for him.  Collingwood don't have a pick between 21 and 42.

THE AFL has confirmed it is investigating whether the contract Kurt Tippett signed with Adelaide in 2009 broke the competition's player rules.

A statement released on Wednesday morning read: "The Australian Football League wishes to advise it has recently become aware of a matter regarding the contracting of player Kurt Tippett to the Adelaide Crows in 2009, to cover the 2010-2012 AFL seasons.

"The AFL is still in the process of investigating this matter and how it relates to the operation of the AFL Player Rules.

"The AFL has no further update to provide at this time."

They blinked with the Stevens deal.  Traded away 44.  We wouldn't want 44 for post anyway.  We wouldn't use it.

Whether we use it or not is not the point. Post has to go. If someone says he needs more game time or is a late bloomer or he has been played out of position I'm going to flip out!!

I think he is late bloomer. The guy needs more game time and I think he has been played out of position!
