ADELAIDE finally has had a victory in the Kurt Tippett saga.
The AFL is allowing the Crows to push teenage midfielder Brad Crouch on Adelaide's 2012 player list as a "traded player" rather than demand the club free up a draft pick for him.
The significance of this decision today is the Crows can avert - for now - needing to delist a contracted player on Wednesday to find the compulsory three draft picks Adelaide must have available at the AFL national draft on November 22.
Adelaide's list-management committee today gained advice from the AFL that it has two draft picks open - and one can be used to draft small forward Ian Callinan from the rookie list.

The obligatory third draft pick should emerge on November 15 when Tippett can delist himself - provided the AFL does not deregister him before this date and force him to stay on Adelaide's list as a banned player.
The AFL this week is expected to close its investigation into the draft tampering and salary cap rorting allegations that centre around a side deal Tippett signed in 2009 when he extended his contract at Adelaide for three years.
The Crows expect to know as soon as Friday how the AFL Commission has assessed the investigation into Tippett's side deal from his 2009 contract talks. The sanctions are expected to involve a heavy fine and a lockout from the first two or three rounds of the draft.
That would leave Adelaide recruiting manager Hamish Ogilvie with the unglamourous picks of 83, 101 and 119 at his first draft.
Tippett's preferred pathway to Sydney in the pre-season draft on December 11 is clouded by Brisbane checking its salary cap to assess if it can call the Queenslander at No. 6 before the Swans at No. 18.
Also in question is if Tippett will be playing next season as the AFL Commission considers deregistering him for draft tampering and taking undisclosed third-party deals underwritten by the Crows.
Melbourne-based lawyer, South Australian Paul Ehrlich, says that move carries the "extreme, significant chance" of having the Tippett family take the AFL to court.
