I have mentioned this in the Voldemort thread. Whilst I understand we are brought up on a game that demands player loyalty - it is not the same game it was 20 years ago. With free agency here there will be more players poached mid season and we still have one more year of GWS signings I advocate a move to the NRL system of players announcing they are moving to another club when they have signed. I believe that some coaches at clubs unable to make the finals may not play the departing individual but I dont think that Collingwood wouldnt play Pendlebury if he announced he was going to GWS and a possible premiership was on the line. This also alleviates this nonsense of players having to lie about what they are doing and allows us all to get on and play football. If a football in a team not paticipating in the finals feels he wants to "preserve his body" for the new team then he will quickly end up in the 2nds. It does fly in the face of what we have grown up with but is the sport not professional enough now that we can endure this change ?
