Signing footy's
« on: June 15, 2012, 11:30:04 PM »
Does anyone know which team started signing footys and giving it to the fans after a win?
I know that it's something Richmond has done for a while now but i'm curious as to which team started it.
The club that keeps giving.

Wallet has said many times that the RFC started it when he was coaching.

Yep, one of the few things Wallace fluked that ended up as a good idea (playing Libba as a tagger being the other)
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

nope. that was Barrassi

outside of footy it was Stalin, and his were very successful.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Yes,  i am aware of Stalin's five year plans. Unfortunately a lot of people did not see the end of each five year plan.
