Standing for something means a great deal -- stand for nothing, fall for anything. Think about it. What does Hawthorn "stand for" ? Geelong ? Richmond ? Excellence. Team work. Unsociable footy. Ruthlessness. Persistence. Standing up for your team mate. Winning. Busting a gut. All for one, one for all... to simply name a few of the things that these clubs stand for. Our club wants to win and has good intentions the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but being unable to achieve that consistently does not mean we "stand for nothing." When an individual or organisation 'stand for something' you can see it straight away. There's an air of 'don't mess with me or what I stand for, as I will not budge.'
I've never been a Maclure fan. I think he's a moron, just shoots his gob off with zero accountability.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
