Newsflash, it IS a job, and the sooner people realize that the better they'll be for it. At least Alan is being honest, unlike a certain footballer who is seemingly hiding behind other issues to get his moves.

At the end of the day it's these blokes who are putting their bodies on the line for their wages, not me or you, so if they see fit to move they see fit to move. Doesn't mean you can't dislike them or disagree with their motives, that's part of the fun of the game, but people need to accept that these blokes are professionals and they will make what they feel are the best decisions for their professional career
Tell Nick Maxwell it's just a job.

you are out of touch if you think footy is not a job. free agency legitimised the notion.
It's been a job as long as players have been getting paid.David Cloke and Geoff Raines didn't come to Collingwood in the 80's because they suddenly saw the light, they saw the dollar signs.
true but it was hardly a full time occupation back then.

Mowing an ex team mates grass might be the reason he left :o . Hope his new team mates keep theirs trimmed. :wink:

I see the OP's point, if you think of playing the sport you love as a job then god help help ya when you actually have to get a job after your footy days.
