Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley says its unfortunate that Lin Jongs tour of Collingwoods training base has been aired publicly but he wasnt the first and wont be the last contracted AFL player to visit a rival club mid-season.And Buckley would do it again.The Magpies were caught out in their efforts to lure Jong, 23, from the Western Bulldogs after a visit last week was reported by News Corp.The emerging midfielder is out of contract at years end.Jong put the interest aside to perform strongly for the Bulldogs in their stirring four-point win over Sydney on Saturday.But Buckley - who played tour guide and met with Jong during his covert visit - was left red-faced when the brash play became public this week.He suggested hed be furious if hed learned of one of his players checking out Whitten Oval with Luke Beveridge.If I was in Bevos shoes you definitely wouldnt be happy, he said.Its for that reason that Buckley reached out to Beveridge, leaving a message on his phone.Buckley was adamant he hadnt broken any code between AFL coaches, insisting this was common practice.What was unusual is that it was reported.To the Collingwood coach, these are unsightly but necessary parts of the job.(In) the back half of the year managers and players alike are shoring up their futures, he said.Were not going to leave any stone unturned speaking to those managers in particular to improve our list and to find out whats on the market.Most conversations dont go anywhere but every now and then they do. Very rarely do you know about them.Its happened consistently and Im sure its happened with the shoe on the other foot.Its dog eat dog.There still are morals and laws that are expected and accepted. We like to believe we follow those.Buckley and Melbourne coach Paul Roos agreed this should not be the start of an NRL-style system where players declare their next move while still playing for their soon to be ex-club.What I would have a problem with, having lived in Sydney, is the NRL system, Roos said.It just doesnt work. And thats the other extreme.What were talking about I guess with Lin Jong is somewhere in the middle and were all going to have different views on that.AFL Players Association boss Paul Marsh disagreed on that point, saying views needed to mature and footballers were professional enough to get on with the job.He paused before considering whether hed do the same again, deciding to act on advice from Magpies list manager Derek Hine.Good question, he said.Derek is our list manager. Hes in constant contact with managers and if he felt it was an appropriate step and I was asked to come along, I would. Official New York Jets Store .

"Im proud of the way Im playing just now, because I had to do a lot of work to get back to where I want to be," Murray said after celebrating with his teammates on the red clay court in a temporary stadium in left field of the downtown home of baseballs San Diego Padres. Most of his GWS Giants teammates are finals debutants but dont expect even a less-angry Steve Johnson to nurse them through September.Veteran forward Johnson played finals in nine of his 14 seasons at Geelong, but only five other men on the Giants list have experience of September action.I dont think they need to be babied through it, Johnson said on Wednesday.They are big boys and I think they are more than capable of playing good footy at this level.Asked whether lack of finals experience could help or hinder the Giants, Johnson said: Im not too sure, only time will tell how were going to deal with the pressure.Infamous for his frequent trips to the tribunal in previous years, Johnson appears to have mellowed in 2016 with no disciplinary blemishes against his name.Ive had a few little slip ups in the past few years, Johnson conceded.(Giants forward) Devon (Smith) actually said to me last week `youve been this far, please dont get suspended now on the eve of the finals.But I guess I havent been as angry as much this year and Im just enjoying my footy, so hopefully that continues.Johnson has been a big hit at the Giants, kicking 43 goals, second at the club to Jeremy Cameron (49).Asked if his record this year had vindicated his decision to keep playing after being released by Geelong after last season, Johnson said: I hope so, Im not the one that adjudicates on whether thats right or wrong.ddddddddddddBut Ive been happy enough to come up here and hopefully Ive played a small role in helping to get where we are now.He remains undecided about whether to play on for one more year or move into coaching in 2017.I think Ill weigh it up at the end of the season. Theres more important things to worry about than whether a 33-year-old is going to go on another season, he said.Another distinguished long-serving small forward, AFL games record-holder Brent Harvey now finds himself in a similar situation to Johnson last year after North Melbourne opted against renewing his contract.I wanted to come here because I thought it would help transition into coaching and that was part of the reason why I come here, Johnson said.Ive been happy about that, but really its up to what his (Harveys) motivation is going forward.While some players and clubs have criticised the bye week before finals, Johnson joked: At my age I really like the week off.
