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. Gary Payton Thunder Jersey .

Hes enrolled in Cals public health masters program.Dykes says he and the team are embracing the trip.

The value of that, you cant determine that.The game, with Cal designated as the home team, will be the first college football game played in Sydney and the first significant American football game played in Australia since 1999.
