Luke Hodge: "they've got the double ruckmens"

“ ohh,he won’t be in their next premiership team” What a ******* lazy throw away line that is. Pathetic. I’ll say that not one current player on Essendons list will be anywhere near a premiership. Maybe Zach Merrett if he manages to get to a more capable club other than the s**t storm he’s currently attached to. Feel so sorry for him.
But back to that shocking cliché, so ******* lazy and trotted out way too often. Only one team can win the flag. So lazy and unrealistic.

Exactly - crediting Fox with revving up the tea is farcical.

Heard Darcy say so-and-so ‘put his absolute head over the ball’ on Saturday night.

Even for a qualifier that is overused by most, it didn’t really belong in this sentence.

Instead of saying 'cajones', Tony Shaw said, "you need to get some ky-ol-lees, mate"

It’s called an adverb.

Adjective

Adjective

Describing an action - did ‘x’ absolutely.

Therefore an Adverb.

Yes, absolutely is absolutely an adverb

But an absolute head is an adjective.

Can’t disagree with that.

I had already re-written it in my head as ‘He absolutely put his whole head ….’

If they were Londoners you'd be forgiving.

Cockneys to be specific.

Perhaps it's the Norfication of discourse.
