Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2023
My Boy Draft 2023: Pick 5, citizen-erased

which over half the posters on here do despite him asking for us to stick with Walla. But I think you just mean it was a pet name from such a campaigner

Tippa I can understand, it's a pretty obvious nickname for what would otherwise be an alphabet and a half to try and pronounce. AMT is longer to say but shorter to type. MTW is the most unnatural one, and reeks of desperation to be different by whichever bloody commentator always uses it.

All Australian team has been leaked. Keep it to yourselves. I wasn't meant to get it.

The bloated corpse of Sandy Roberts.

Although it certainly less syllables than Anthony William Watson McDonald-Tipungwuti

I feel bruised just looking at it.

Tippa & Co?

I hate 'AMT' because Basil says it.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

I hate 'AMT' because Basil says it.

Yes! I skip the intro to all EFC clips because of his irritating and contrived 'A. M. T. AS GOOD AS YOU'LL SEE'

You're the other pea in my pod. I hate that thing.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Also hate the smiths add.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Yes! I skip the intro to all EFC clips because of his irritating and contrived 'A. M. T. AS GOOD AS YOU'LL SEE'

back to back with "HI HO ORAZIO!!!"

It's ******* shite

 

[DapperJong]

back to back with "HI HO ORAZIO!!!"

It's ******* shite

It's just a little bit less crap when you realise he used to say about someone else 30 years ago (I forget who).

 

[Doss]

Sandy's isn't that bad. Basil's? * off mate, you're a crap commentator.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Unfortunately, large portions of our marketing oozes 'cringe'

I must admit I don't mind it too much. I thought it was a pretty good call. AMT actually sounds pretty good as far as nicknames go and makes a lot of sense since his real name is so long.

But I'm OK with being in the minority on this one.

Sandy's isn't that bad. Basil's? **** off mate, you're a crap commentator.

Basil gets a pass because 'AMT' is actually his initials, and given how he commentates it'd take him a good minute to get through the whole thing.

'MTW'?

McDonald-Tipung-Wuti?

We should just be lucky that Basil doesn't call him Dempsey.

 

[SherbertLemon]

I hate basil, he should **** off back to the herb garden

 

[Zach Package]

We should just be lucky that Basil doesn't call him Dempsey.

Nothing will ever beat the Dempsey/Ryder/Langford commentator confusion love triangle

 

[EnolaGay]

We should just be lucky that Basil doesn't call him Dempsey.

Basil is seriously that bad (or blind) that one day he'll call Josh Green, AMT.

Walla has cracked the top 100 for the first time.

Significant achievement considering he has only just hit 40 games.

Only Petracca has played less games from the top 100.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

After kicking 13.12 across the first part of the year, he's booted 19.4 from round 11 onwards.
The way he is able to continually work on and improve his weaknesses is quite amazing.

Could easily have been happy just getting a regular game in seniors, but just continues to work so hard every week. Sets a great example. Gun.

'My uncle [Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti] does as well.... Ever since he was at least 10 years old, he's always wanted to be a professional AFL player ... and he had to put in for, like, 10 years he was training. He had this one goal, and he got it.'

Thought it was a good read and spotted Tarlinas comments. Thought it makes Walla's story more awe inspiring and for players alike finals is the icing on the cake. Well done boys you do us proud.
The article though is an interactive article featuring some of the top 10 sports ladies of differing body images. Thanks for the ladies. Love you all.

Ohhh I dunno Sandy Roberts gets underneath your skin whereas Basil sticks his nose up everyone's arses!

Walla came 4th in the Coaches Association best young player of the year.
