Most Annoying Word(s) used by Commentators

[#6 Mark Williams]

Seriously everytime I hear the commentators use these words over and over again, it just angers me:


Potent
Mercurial

Seriously some commentators need to get a vocabulary even if its as stupid as Rex Hunts. Why have a thesaurus if we don't use it hey?
Words can't vent my anger and frustration, when I hear these words over, and over and over. Get your act together commentators.... :mad:

[Roughie]

"insert name YOU ARE A STAR"

Half of the names mentioned are mediocre players.

[Gold Member]

"He's beat him off"

Seemed to get a bit of airtime last year.

Maybe the commentators figured out what they were actually saying. :D

[Johnny_Segment]

Bruce always had a habit of dropping "PLAYER A has sucked of PLAYER B..."

[E Shed]

"cleeever"
That was clever
Clever kick

[Mervyn Beasley]

"toe poke"

[Mojo]

I think it's annoying when they refer to a player as 'the best in the competition' at 'this'.

How many bests are there?

[Leather Poisoning]

Brucey:

Isn't it?
Doesn't it?
Doesn't he?
Isn't he?
Wasn't it?

EVERY ____ING THING HE SAYS HAS TO BE COMFIRMED BY THE CO-COMMENTATOR.

Bartlett:
Tuff in the cwijnches.
Dances on a dollar

Walls:
Bold
Couragous
Ruckman
(gets very dramatic in his speech and is obsessed with ruckmen and 'big blokes'.)

General:

On the pine
Got a fingernail on it
Got a slipper on it
"He bends it back" (actually he doesn't, he just kicked it, the rest is up to physics)
Goal of the YEAR! (for a simple kick off the ground, 10m out.)

[thatswhatimtalkinabout]

".......and I'm Bruce McAvaney." :thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd:

[Neville Bartos]

"... he's got an incredible footballing brain..." when talking about Didak, Steve Johnson and co. SHUT THE F%$K UP BRUCE YOU SKINNY OLD TOSSER

[#6 Mark Williams]

Thats vintage and champagne football, nearly forgot about that one.

[JoondalupJ]

What about the word "obviously" ,used by every player that ever gets interviewed.

[Roughie]

The shin boner spirit


If the spirit is so great in a comeback, or an upset, how about the commentators start slagging the spirit when they choke, or get pumped by a shit team? I would love to hear "there was no shinboner spirit in this match" "these guys let the great shinboner spirit down today" But noooooo its only apparent when they win!

[Matt Murder]

They use "penetrating kick" and "Comes through with the big fist" quite a lot. Also manage to overuse the name Johncock in games.

[boozeDragon]

"Quaterback" - what he hell...? Could we make our game any more American?
"Unsociable" - what the hell...? Just call us bullies then.

[Mervyn Beasley]

Judd
Ablett

[Hoppo]

"cleeever"
That was clever
Clever kick

Some more bruce magic:

Special
Oh Cathy!

Players answering the 1st Question

"Yeah...No"

[djs_23]

Stunning is the most overused and annoying adjective in journalism - it has been for about three years.

If you are a journo or subeditor with an average vocab, it's the word that currently comes to mind for EVERY situation...Listen out for it.

"Melbourne have stunned the Lions with a stunning 1 point victory at the MCG"

God i hate it.

[Unique]

oooooohhhh

errrrr

ahhhhh

First lesson at School of Journalism: Avoid repetitiousness.I believe you mean repetitiveness? I hate every time I hear Paddy Ryder or Travis Cloke, I swear Robert Walls is obsessed with these 2 and hes like Buddy Franklin is a bad player.

In conclusion, I find Robert Walls undignified an abhorrent and every word/s he says is just jargon.

[Splash]

Catch.
Not fishing or playing cricket or at a nightclub

[Carn Hawkas]

"He's in career best form" Is being used a lot lately.

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Am sick of hearing about how short and light Leo Barry is compared to his opponents. I watched him at 184cm stand next to Fev at 191cm and there was no way Fev was anything mroe than an inch taller.

[shotta]

"Shot on goal", FFS whatever happened to "Having a shot". Leg speed, used to be pace.If I had a dollar for every time Frawley used the word SUPER I'd retire.

[shqip]

"Quaterback" - what he hell...? Could we make our game any more American?
"Unsociable" - what the hell...? Just call us bullies then.

How about Power Forward and constantly using the term "Rebound"

[shqip]

Shutdown/Negating Role

[Hawks1523]

Speeeeeeeeeeeeeecial
Cleeeeeeeeeeeeevveeer :mad:

I'm gunna have to put up with that twat for the grand final! :thumbsd:

[Magpies United]

"Arches the back" would definitely be the most annoying of the lot./

[BobbyYeomansBelly]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned "loads up"! What the ferk? What is "loads up"? He's just kicked it long, surely? Shut up Bruce please.

[Macedonian Hawk]

Every word Dennis Commetti says. :\

[NQ Hawk]

Corralled

[jazz]

Scoreboard pressure.

Kicking goals IS THE FRIGGING IDEA OF THE GAME!!!!!

[hawkers4life]

Basically anything a channel seven commentator says, and Robert Walls. Infact the only commentators I like listening to are BT and the boys on Triple M.

[LuvMyHawks]

For me, definitely two, that really irk me..

McAvaney, "clevaarrrrrrrrrrrrr....speshalllll.. (I know they are spelt incorrrectly, but that's how they sound)

AND

Quarterback... I HATE that term used in Aussie Rules...:mad:

[kolchak]

Ground level, What other geograhical levels in a game of footy are there?
