Rushby Christmas Rumours

[Rushby Hinds]

a: Which team has insisted that anyone training league or reserves in the pre-season must bring their own footy (!!) (with their name on it). No footy, no training with the main bunch. The presumption is a "cash" issue.

b: Which (other) team is currently having their gym renovated, and the word on the street is that the playing group themselves have chipped in to fund the work. (Or so the story goes on this one). Good effort if I have the story correct.



Neither a or b are Glenelg.

A) Magpies.

B) Glenelg.

??????

[mighty_tiger_79]

Whoops. Xmas drinks.

[johntheclaret]

c) Glenelg

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

B) would have to be Centrals, not sure of any other teams that are having their gym renovated/re-built, doubt the players would have had to chip in their own $'s though.

[G]

A. Crap
B. Sturt, with question marks re the players chipping in.

[TroyGFC]

A few years back a few Glenelg player's chipped in to do gym reno's.

[Rushby Hinds]

No correct answers so far.


Source for a: is a player's Dad who was narked at having to spend $130 to pay for a footy..

Bun to inside 50, and to Bay's Boy.

[smac]

Dogs players have been supplying their own footy for years.

Whilst the players haven't chipped in on the cost of the renovations at Centrals, they clambered over the temporary fence to assist in the demolition (pushed a wall over).

Bun to inside 50

Unfair!

$130- lighter in the pocket Inside 50?

Most likely, was an Alan Stewart innovation at Elizabeth, Rick was there when it started and would understand why it was introduced.

[Wedgie]

It was only when I read your post smac that I remembered hearing some theory about this, it may have been footy, it may have not, but I can remember hearing/reading a long time ago about the theory behind it. IIRC it was to ensure a footy is in a player's hands as often and long as possible making the player's ball skills better with the ball being an extension of his body. Is that correct or is it something else?
