Giants seek pay ruling on Tippett

GREATER Western Sydney's interest in Kurt Tippett is likely to rest on how much of his nominated salary it would have to pay him for 11 games next season.

Coach Kevin Sheedy re-ignited the Giants' interest in Tippett yesterday, although Sydney is still confident it will secure him in Tuesday's pre-season draft.

Tippett and Sydney have agreed to a $3.5 million deal that would pay him $700,000 next year, $900,000 in 2014, and $975,000 in both 2015 and 2016.

But GWS has requested a ruling on how much of that $700,000 it would have to pay Tippett, considering he has been suspended for 11 games by the AFL.

Sydney is not as concerned about the suspension with finals probable, but GWS is likely to miss the finals, so it needs bang for its buck.

If Tippett refuses to play for the team that picks him in the draft, he will be banned for the season.

Meanwhile, the AFL Players' Association yesterday launched its investigation into Tippett's agent, Peter Blucher.

 The player union is set to announce an investigator who will have access to the AFL's files from its Tippett inquiry, and then announce any potential charges.

Blucher will have time for an official reply, with the AFLPA's agent accreditation board to decide on any penalty.
