While the anti-Collingwood trolls are busy pointing out how unscrupulous our tactics are vis-a-vis other clubs, I'm surprised to see so few threads on perhaps the biggest story going around in AFL:
- The dismantling of the mighty Cat empire.
GC took Ablett, no surprise.
Collingwood humiliated Geelong in the Preliminary Final, ok.
Essendon poaching Geelong's coaching staff, with suspicion that the Bombers were talking to Thompson during the season.
Thompson then, according to Caro anyway, apparently luring Brendan McCartney to Essendon even though he has a 3-year deal.
It's an interesting piece from Caro, and just shows how ruthless it can be.
This is the nature of the business, it's not unique to any club.
Essendon is trying to poach Geelong's staff, Carlton trying to poach Collingwood's staff, Collingwood got Luke Ball for nothing, Richmond will get Bachar Houli for nothing, this is the AFL today.
None of it may seem "moral", but it's everyone out for themselves.
