Joffa Corfe of Collingwood commenting: “It’s our birth rite to spit at the footy, non- negotiable. I’ll storm out and rip up the treaty if you want to bring that one on further.”
KEY POINTS FROM THE F8 SUMMIT:
The term Floggers to be revised
Cheer Squads to return the ball promptly after a behind
Spitting on Opposition players to be monitored by all Cheer Squads (Collingwood: Abstain)
To have at least one VCE graduate in each Cheer Squad to spell check the banner.
