SOUTH Australian bakery Balfours is reportedly at the centre of the Adelaide Crows salary-cap scandal, with the club having allegedly diverted a portion of the bakery's sponsorship money to Kurt Tippett.
In return, Tippett starred in advertisements for Balfours. The problem with that arrangement is that clubs are not meant to be involved in third-party deals.
It is alleged chief executive Steven Trigg was instrumental in setting up the deal, which included Tippett featuring in a series of "Tippett's Tips" on commercial television for Balfours.
The club's involvement in any third-party agreement is against the AFL Player Rules and, if proven, adds more clarity to the accusations levelled at the Crows.
The club, Trigg, former football operations manager John Reid and the out-of-contract Tippett have been ordered by the AFL to front the Commission at a special hearing in Melbourne at 1pm on Monday.

Each faces two charges of engaging in conduct prejudicial to the draft and salary cap breaches.
It comes after a horror day for the club, with three new charges being issued to the club, Trigg and Crows football manager Phil Harper.
It was Harper's first charge, with the club now facing a total of 11 breaches.
Tippett has maintained his innocence, and threatened to sue the Crows if he is deregistered.
