The AFL has laid further charges as a result of its investigation into the Adelaide Football Club's contract arrangements with Kurt Tippett.

In a statement released on Wednesday morning, AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson said: "In accordance with AFL Player Rule 17, which relates to the enforcement of the AFL Draft and Total Player Payments, I have today issued a further three charges."

The Club, CEO Steven Trigg and General Manager of Football Operations Phil Harper have been charged as follows:

Contrary to Rule 17 of the Rules, between September 2009 and October 2012, you engaged in conduct in breach of the Total Player Payments provisions in the Rules.


"Again, in accordance with Rule 17, the Adelaide Crows FC, Mr Trigg and Mr Harper were each advised today in writing of the charges," Anderson said.

"These further charges will also be heard before the full AFL Commission next Monday, November 19, at 1pm at AFL House."

The Club and Trigg now face a total of three charges, while former Crows football manager John Reid and Tippett himself face two charges. Harper faces one charge.
