FORMER Crow and new Tiger Chris Knights has admitted Adelaide's salary cap saga could impact significantly on its 2013 season, despite the club being allowed to take part in this year's national draft.
Knights spent eight seasons with Adelaide before signing as a free agent with Richmond last month.
The 26-year-old says even though he has left the club, he still feels for the Crows and his former teammates as they face future AFL sanctions over allegations of illegal payments to Kurt Tippett and further scrutiny on other third-party deals.
"I do (feel for them)," Knights said after taking part in his first time-trial with the Tigers at Princes Park.
"They are (a great club).
"Kurt Tippett is a really good guy, he's a great teammate. He's in a really unfortunate situation at the moment and the same with the football club.
"But, as it goes, they're not going to miss out on draft picks this year, so in that respect they're all right but you want to go into every pre-season with not too many things going wrong.
"The (Adelaide) boys will start back soon and they'll just be focusing on training hard and doing what they need to do.
"But you don't really want these things happening on the side. It's big news for the AFL and hopefully there's a resolution."
Adelaide successfully sought more time to prepare for the AFL hearing into the Tippett issue, which has now been put back beyond Thursday's draft.
