"[With] yesterday's stunning victory by Geelong over
Collingwood ... the club's ninth premiership and
its third in five years ... [the Geelong Cats] can now
rightfully claim to be the greatest of the modern era."

it sounds a bit like backing Man United...
Sorry, Shane, you'll have to explain that one.
@Shane: The reason I ask, Shane, is that the success at Geelong was built on being a values-driven organisation based on people with character and integrity.
What that has to do with David Beckham or Wayne Rooney or the latest mutant with no brain and a bad haircut I can't imagine.
If you want to see the way Geelong was built--and this a great book about building a group based on character and integrity, by the way--I highly recommend the book by former two-time-premier Geelong captain Tom Harley called 'Standing Tall.'
An MBA man like yourself should find it interesting. :-)
Ah, to be defined by my qualifications.
From your description, Geelong sound like the type of organisation one ought be proud to be associated with, at any level.
I have no knowledge of Aussie rules as a sport.
Having had an arms-length connection with Chelsea (innit) some years ago - and subsequently, Man U seem to have a following... well, The Urban Dictionary says it all
As the architect of your own mind, I ought to have suspected that your connection was above fleeting and not limited to the good times.
But I had a feeling you might bite.
Perhaps one day you might have the opportunity to impress upon me the merits of the code.
