A SUPREME Court injunction could pave the way for Kurt Tippett to become a Sydney Swans player within a week.
In a day of sensational twists to the AFL salary cap scandal, the star forward's lawyers are making a power-play to force the Crows to delist him by Wednesday.
The move would allow the AFL premiers to pick up Tippett as a delisted free agent in a four-year deal worth $3.5 million.
But the AFL has told Adelaide it cannot delist Tippett, which the player argues is an unfair penalty placed on him given the AFL Commission is yet to hear any evidence in the case.
Tippett and his lawyer, David Galbally QC, want to take the dispute to the AFL grievance tribunal, but could be forced into Victorian Supreme Court action due to time constraints.
The delisted free agency period expires on Wednesday. If cut free before the deadline, Tippett can walk to the club of his choice.
The AFL and key lawyers for all parties in the salary cap saga have scheduled a meeting for tomorrow in a bid to clear up any procedural matters that could slow down the official hearing.
It is effectively a briefing, with one of the issues to be discussed whether AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou should be involved in making the final call given the Tippett camp believes he is conflicted because he has spoken at length to Chapman about the alleged breaches.
Meanwhile, one of Australia's leading betting agencies reckon that Tippett could be making his moves on the dance floor rather than the football field in 2013.
Sportsbet.com.au has Tippett a $9 favourite to appear on next year's edition of Dancing With The Stars ahead of appearing on a television commercial for a national bank ($21) while he's a $51 chance to be given the keys to the city of Adelaide which were recently taken back from disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong.
The former basketballer has also been marked a $101 chance of joining the Adelaide 36ers while he's $501 to replace Steven Trigg as the Adelaide Crows CEO.
"Who knows what he will be doing next year, but one thing seems sure, he has burnt his bridges in Adelaide and the locals won't be forgetting it any time soon," sportsbet.com.au's Shaun Anderson said.
