I thought Tippo was banned for tampering with the draft, because "Adelaide allegedly agreed to trade him to a club of his choice for a second-round draft pick - a massively lopsided arrangement - when the [his] contract finished at the end of 2012..."
Tippett said in a statement that he was "bitterly disappointed" with the outcome. "I trusted the Adelaide Football Club and for the duration of my contract I did my utmost for the club on and off the field," he said. "It is bitterly disappointing, then, to learn that my trust and best endeavours have been to my substantial detriment. Only during the recent AFL trade period did I learn that some terms in the Adelaide offer may have contravened AFL rules, and since that point I and all parties associated with me have cooperated fully with the AFL in its investigations."
