BESIEGED Crows chief executive Steven Trigg will pay a heavy price for his six-month AFL ban.
Considered lucky to keep his job, Trigg will lose a small fortune and be treated like a leper until he is allowed back into Adelaide's West Lakes headquarters on July 1 next year.
Apart from his once-glowing reputation copping a hammering, Trigg will lose half-a-year's salary, estimated to be worth about $200,000 and be forced to pay his $50,000 AFL fine out of his own pocket.
The Crows also have confirmed they will not contribute "one cent" to his fact-finding national and overseas sporting trips when he is officially suspended on January 1.
"Steven will have to pay the fine and all costs he incurs from January 1 to July 1," Adelaide chairman Rob Chapman said.
"As a club we will absolutely not be contributing to any of that - it is an AFL requirement.
"Steven will not receive one cent of remuneration from the Adelaide Football Club in the six months starting form January 1, 2013."
Apart from the financial hit, the AFL has revealed the full extent of Trigg's punishment for salary cap rorting and draft tampering in the Kurt Tippett scandal.
A notable spectator alongside Chapman at yesterday's Crows training session at Max Basheer Reserve, Trigg cannot have any involvement in the AFL at all from January 1 - when his ban kicks in - to June 30.
The league's guidelines include:
NOT being allowed to step on to the club's grounds or into its offices.
BEING banned from all Crows training sessions and pre-season and home-and-away matches.
NOT being able to attend any AFL match.
MAKING no contact with any Crows or AFL official in person, on the phone or through social media.
If Trigg is found guilty of any offence, he will automatically cop another six-month ban, which would almost certainly end his time in football.
Chapman, who will take over as interim chief executive from January 1, said he would spend the next four weeks working closely alongside Trigg to "ensure all tasks of the chief executive are taken care of".
"I'm not going down there just to keep the chair warm," Chapman said.
"We will be going over the process to make sure we grow from this, we are not going to tread water. I'm across all of the agenda items and there are decisions to be made about Adelaide Oval, the licence and the structure of our football department."
Chapman said Trigg had paid a massive price "for an error of judgment" and had only retained his job after "six weeks of debate, discussion and probing".
"It wasn't an easy decision, we didn't just roll up, have a cup of tea and simply reappoint him," Chapman said of the board's decision not to sack him.
"We did take into consideration every fact that is known to us and we reached the conclusion we did.
"Steven accepted the breach of breaking a rule in sport and while it is a severe case it is not one which should condemn him to life out of football."
Chapman said Trigg would return to the club next year "as a better CEO".
"The one change he will probably make is to share more of the load and make sure the board is aware of every risk involved in the football club," he said.
"He's made an error of judgment, he's admitted that and he's suffering a large sanction, obviously to his reputation and integrity but also personally with a fine and six months with no pay."
Football operations manager Phil Harper, who copped a two-month AFL suspension for his role in the Tippett saga, will today fly to Hawaii for a long-planned holiday. His position will temporarily be filled by list manager David Noble.
