THE ADELAIDE Crows, player Kurt Tippett, chief executive Stephen Trigg and former football manager John Reid have each been charged by the AFL and ordered to front the AFL Commission later this month.

They are each facing two charges of ‘engaging in conduct prejudicial to the draft’ and salary cap breaches.

Both are alleged breaches of AFL rule 17.

In a release on Monday night, AFL football operations boss Adrian Anderson said the League informed the parties of the charges in writing on Monday.

"The Adelaide Crows FC, and each of the three individuals, have been advised their charges will be heard before the full AFL Commission next Monday, November 19, at 1pm at AFL House," Anderson said.

The Crows will look to argue why they shouldn't be stripped of draft picks and will be looking to limit a massive fine.

Tippett will be fighting for his immediate AFL future after a potential trade to the Sydney Swans was blocked when the allegations surfaced.

The Commission hearing has been set for 1pm next Monday, and could stretch into Tuesday.

Adelaide officials had repeatedly denied the existence of a special clause in Tippett's contract, struck when he re-signed in 2009.

That contract made him the Crows' highest-paid player.

The Crows are alleged to have agreed to trade Tippett to a club of his choice for a second-round draft pick when the contract finished at the end of 2012.

If found guilty of breaking salary cap rules, Adelaide would most likely suffer a fine and the loss of draft picks and they have said they will accept the AFL's verdict.

Tippett faces a suspension or being deregistered from the AFL if found guilty.

If Tippett is eligible to nominate for this year's drafts, 2012 wooden-spooner  Greater Western Sydney has indicated it will consider selecting him.

Tippett played 104 games for Adelaide after debuting in round one, 2008.
