Famous Sayings or Quotes By Club Figures Over The Decades
With a certain person from our club saying the same thing each week about managing injuries conservatively and the other cliches getting around at the moment. I was thinking of the many famous or more interesting things that our club figures have said over the journey. Things that have been said, sayings or quotes and have stuck in your memory. From either the president, coach, captain or administrators (trainers or boot students too etc) about a topic, a result or approach to the sport from any generation. You only get one shot at this thread to share it around, so make your nomination count for the rest of us to either remember something or learn something about our people and what they've famously or meaningfully said in representing the red, white and blue.
I'll burn mine on an easy example for y'all:
"Stick it right up them!" - EJ Whitten

It's certainly pleasing your work on WOOF, BT.

You have made it difficult BT with your restricted paramaters.
All the great quotes I know can from outside the footy club.

Really? Not necessarily great quotes, but our quotes. There's a few off the top of my head. Charlie... Plough... PG... Danny Southern... Captain G...

That's the spirit. Others might not know it, but that's our heritage in a short sentence.

You know me, I'm all about the qualitative sheen in my posts.

Re: Famous Sayings or Quotes By Club Figures Over The Decades
Paraphrasing here
"We took him bottom age as he would have gone top 10 next year"
Scott Clayton about Wade Skipper at the 2000 draft. 2001 was the Hodge/Judd superdraft, arguably the best ever.
"He's the next Andrew McLeod"
Scott Clayton about Cam Faulkner taken at pick 17 at the 2002 draft
Should I mention Jarred Grant?

Those quotes are more like nightmares.
When will Scott Clayton do that swim he promised.

Terry Wallace to ?Brian Royal while walking off the ground after losing to Collingwood in 1996:
Should I go them hard? I think this time I'm going to go real hard at them because that's unacceptable.
Then later in the rooms
If I look around these rooms today and I see one bloke *!*!*!*!ing smiling or another bloke getting a *!*!*!*!ing pat on the back I will fair dinkum spew up. You don't get four points for effort. You don't get four points for getting *!*!*!*!ing close
That's off the top of my head, I'm happy for anyone to correct it.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Steve Tiller got that too. That’s a famous pattern.

When Terry Wheeler addressed the Fightback Rally, he delivered this gem, which has always stuck with me:
"I believe there's nothing on this earth that we own. All we do is look after it for our children."

Called the "next Andrew Macleod?" I don't see it myself.
