The AFL has advised the Adelaide Football Club of charges arising from its investigation into contract arrangements with Kurt Tippett.
The Adelaide Football Club is determined to explain its position to members, sponsors and all stakeholders as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the Club notes that this matter is being investigated by the AFL as a direct result of our decision to report it and offer full assistance to the investigation.
Throughout the past three years and the recent trading period it was always the Club’s intention to comply fully with all AFL rules on the draft and player payments.
The Club draws attention to its exemplary record and reputation of total and willing compliance with all AFL rules that govern the draft and total player payments over the past 22 years.
We have the highest regard for those rules and the reason that they exist.
We will appear before the AFL Commission on Monday next week to respond in full. Out of respect for the AFL process, the Club is unable to provide further comment on the charges until that process is complete.
