When AK said he was looking at a job at the AFLPA, it got me thinking. Would you guys apply for a job at a rival club?

Yes, but with the goal of gaining experience to eventually be able to work for my club of choice.

But as soon as your club knows you go for them, I'm going to make an assumption that they'll take advantage of you knowing you're probably not going to leave

[Mat0369]

I thought he specifically referred to a player but makes sense now.

I am not sure what clubs these two supported as kids but I know a couple of Father sons that you could maybe add in.

Waite left Carlton for North

Nathan Ablett left the Cats, ended up at the Suns. Same with Gaz

Also another you can maybe add although he never played for them, Murph with the Lions
