The new lazy footy commentators description for getting the ball in quick to the forward line. BT, the moron, used it 36 times in the one call on Friday night. As usual these dickheads ruin a good match.
I heard the term "chaos ball" used way too much this weekend.

"THE GREASY MEATBALL DOES CHAOS BALL!"
AFL commentary is a ******* joke.

You sure did. And so did I. While I'm here, is there any other sport where the commentators (if that's what they are) spend half the
game talking/wondering/generally blah-ing on about the crowd size?

Cameron Ling even congratulated Maynard from bombing the ball to the GWS players because it went to ground. Like he hack kicked it forward and Ling congratulated the smart decision. Fair Dinkum
Sounds like something I ordered once.

It used to be a Dwayne Russel thing.
It used to be called a mongrel punt and was to be avoided.

"Chaos ball" will soon become overwhelmed by "big dance".

Which will become rapidly subsumed by "moneyball" with trade week looming.
To endure this I'll be treating it as a drinking game.

If you want some practice prior to trade week, just watch The Block any given night and down a drink every time somebody says "game changer".

New descriptive term for a miskick so it sounds like the players have done something outrageously skillful rather than just f.cked up

I think he even called that a "great kick" I was perplexed.
Nah they lost because they were not brave. Everyone knows when you are down in the 4th you need to be brave.True.
Geelong lost because they didn't kick enough chaos balls into the forward line late in the game.

It's part of the wider commentary problem with Brayshaw and Russell at its heart.
Every kick is a "ball". There's long balls, short balls, high balls, low balls, good balls, wide balls - all sorts of balls.

It used to be a style of play. Port for instance did a lot of “chaos ball” against the Eagles earlier this season, but that was deliberate and a tactical ploy to get around their marking defenders. Now it seems like it applies to every rushed kick into the forward line regardless of intent.
