Never said Geelong did anything wrong but they should be the last club to complain about these measures, I mean the gift of Hawkins for a packet of used Twisties is still there.
They are doing the right thing and have a system where they don’t need to rebuild
Huh? The F/S rule was immediately changed from 50 games to 100 games because of Hawkins due to Eddie and other flogs incessantly bitching, moaning and whinging about it after the fact.
The last to complain? You've the order of this issue backwards my dear Swannie boy. Geelong only resort to poaching as a last resort and out of desperation because of the stupidity and unfairness of gifting so many sides (mediocre ones that finish at the bottom of the ladder year in year out and interstate clubs who claim victimhood and disadvantage because they're not in Victoria) top elite young talent in the competition every season ahead of well run clubs like Geelong.
How about this, the Swannies and your ilk cease to leech of the league by secretly hogging elite young talent in NSW every season the via thinly disguised rort that are the academies, and I'm sure Geelong will no longer feel it necessary to strategically poach players from other clubs.
Have we got a deal?
