South East Melbourne Phoenix player, Nathan Sobey, said "brang" twice this morning on SEN: "..we've brang in some local players." "Yes, they've brang in some new players"
That’s a bit sad, really. Up there with “I seen it” and “I done it”. You feel embarrassed for them.

Dermott Brereton, commenting on the MRP:

"Have a look at the word-usage they used".

Dermott is a classic example of someone who knows too many words, but not what they mean and not how to use them.
He’s also a classic example of someone who thinks he’s smart, when he isn’t.
Saying that, I don’t mind him, I’ve heard he’s a “ripping” bloke.

I reckon when he uses more words than he needs it makes him sound dumber than he is, especially to sharp dudes like us :smilev1: :thumbsu:

Someone should ask him the last book he read (mind you, you could extend that to all footy pundits).

Be a lot of blank and bemused expressions coming back.

Daniel Hoyne: “I’m backing history until history changes”
That guy doesn't lack confidence in himself or his product. :grinv1: Tonight on SEN's Sportsday, Mark Duffield called out one of his rubbish stats; I think about the Freo ruckmen playing together. I don't think Healy liked that

He is a bit like an ideological zealot, whose system can't be allowed to be fallible. Straying into Popperian principles but I believe it makes his work illegitimate :huh: .
