Serious stuff.

Wow! Sounds like they may have an idea re. who might be responsible??
Excuse my ignorance, if you haven't already ;). What's been stolen exactly??

It seems to be some potentially important info in regards to who we are targetting in the draft(s).
Is that like leaked information?
Gee if so, that could really spoil our chances and potentially our bigger plans too. couldn't it?

Kinda.
Its more like someone reading your diary. ;)
You have things in there that nobody is supposed to know about.
Could prove costly as our negioation positions could have been compromised.
Seems to be the recruiting strategy for our women's league side.

The Blues released a statement on Sunday, outlining their concerns after a website posted what it claimed to be Carlton's recruitment plans for its women's team.
Anyone know what website it was published on?
(edit..Reading that a Collingwood Bigfooty poster entered a room where the names of targeted draftees were listed and took a snap.)
Is that illegal?
Need a lawyer to give a view, but corporate espionage is certainly illegal.
And certainly stealing Intellectual Property can see significant damages awarded to those that have the data stolen.

I've found one photo which has a list of 10 or so names on it and is a breakdown of forwards we are looking at. Along with a list of key attributes to look for.
Not sure if there are similar for mids and backs.....or whatever else there may have been though

Yeah I'm just wondering if taking a photo of a white board qualifies?
Where was the board so that a Collingwood fan could take a snap?

Fairfax has decided not to publish the photograph(s) so the threat contained in the club's statement must carry some weight.

At first I thought it involved both our senior and women's recruitment strategies. Having the women's info stolen is bad enough but at least the senior list does not seem to be involved, where there could have been a bigger financial impact.
Heart skipped a beat when I first saw the backpage headline this morning......then realised it was for the women's league and couldn't give a krap after that......

Leaving top secret information on a whiteboard is amateur stuff from an amateur club.

Agree....

Agreed.
The police action threat will be because they are not sure what else the perpetrator photographed, in terms of the other whiteboards, posters or printouts that were left lying around!
They might even be worried this wasn't the first occurrence, just the first one they found out about! :o
Reminds me of a time when I worked at a large corporate in Melbourne and was working on a particular project. We held a project meeting in a conference room which had one of those revolving electronic whiteboards, which initially showed a blank surface. We used that first surface to record information discussed and someone then pressed the copy button and the surface moved around, only to reveal some very sensitive and embarrassing information from a previous meeting concerning staff.
This info. had now pretty much potentially become public! We were all required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before we were allowed of of the room! A very embarrassing situation for the people who'd failed to erase the whiteboard. :-[
The police may have a role if the photograph was taken from inside a private area - criminal trespass. Just because you attend a meeting in a building doesn't mean you're free to access all areas. If you go where you shouldn't be and take documents, then that would be burglary. If you break into computers on site or online, that's another crime. And taking surveillance photos through external windows is another crime. You'd have to know what the precise facts are. But don't assume the police can't charge you if you wander into a private office or meeting room and read or photograph documents.
Hell, in some countries it's an offence to take a photo of a government building from a public place.

They went to take a photo of the Men's draft, but the first few names were Watson, Lucas, Bootsma, Boekhorst followed by a dartboard and decided it wasnt worth it.
