Carltank have tried to prise Hawthorn's recruiting manager out of Waverley Park to come perform surgery on their list.
Which wouldn't be all that newsworthy, except Hawthorn's recruiting mastermind is none other than our 1990 premiership player Graham Wright:

So, if they can't get someone with a Collingwood connection straight out of the club, they'll go looking around until they find a second-hand one. The fact that Wright masterminded the recruiting of the current Hawthorn premiership side helps as well.
They really are a sad club...

Good guess.MagpieBat wrote:No, it's not a term I'm familiar with.stui magpie wrote:Nice work Bat, but you're obviously not familiar with the term having "Half a Mongrel"
Given it was said in the context of this Bootsma thing, I think I can guess what it means...
It is and has been their MO and it's really haunting them now. Remember Elliot declaring that Carlton didn't rebuild?The Seedsmeister wrote:Trying to buy success is Carlton's M.O... Why develop your own talent, when you can just wave a cheque book around.
They have not adapted to having to recruit kids in a competitive environment and develop them which is why they're so shit.
We we about level pegging with them around 2005, since then we've gone on to win a premiership and consistently be in finals with a chance, they've had false dawn after false dawn.
Aint it sweet.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Why are we all surprised?
They have no idea how to recruit or develop their own talent.
History tells us their whole existence is based on rorting, cheating & lying.
Those bastards couldn't lie straight in bed!
