Because the afl got pissed with Sydney for stealing buddy from GWS when they already had Tippet so made the swans accountable with the tippet and buddy contracts.

3 top 30s just sounds like the biggest load of BS.
So picks 26, 28 and 30 is ok?
Im not buying it.

Sorry, thats not true.
Well the AFL being pissed at Sydney regarding Buddy yes, Tippet wasn't a free agent, the AFL didn't say or do squat in regards to a regular contract to a player taken in the draft

They reached a payout agreement to put him on the rookie list and avoid his 2020 salary.

I’m pretty sure it was in reference to their draft strategy for this year, that they want to take/have 3 within top 30 picks. Kelly would assist in that with his transfer & GFC don’t want players.

Na it’s true. Tippet was still with Sydney when they got Buddy and they made sure the Swans added Tippets wage after he retired or was delisted so they were seen to be “punishing them”

I still don’t understand why it should have been under the salary cap if the guys ankle was rooted & a legit retirement.
It should be off the books (but perhaps other means at play with regards to any liability).
Pretty sure he looks like his dad.
?
Part of the risk with giving players long-term contracts is the potential of injury.
You're suggesting that risk should be taken away? Then you'd be saying crazy length deals become more and more common.
That is one of my highlights of the season right there.
If medically unsound, then they’re off as a legitimate retirement.
Not sure any club would want a recently signed player on the sidelines, nor a player wishing to curtail their career by pulling stumps so early (they should forfeit payment, which should be covered by insurance coverage).
He was probably owed a few million over the next 3 years, backended and their cap was tight. He could have just hung on and kept rehabbing to get the dollars. Work out a figure and free up the list spot.

Played Xavier 2’s the day when I went to watch my nephew play for St Kevins in the main game. Won’t make it.

What i thought, so in relation to the other poster, he should have no bearing on their TPP next year.

Geelong have been linked with Steven and Higgins. They are keen to top up again.
