Some sports reporter on the ABC said this morning that both sides were looking to go back-to-back today.

Garry Lyon to Chris Fagan "you won the AFLCA player of the year award".

Peter V’landys talking about the entertainment at the F.L.A. on the weekend featuring Labrador. I know he says it in jest and he’s a campaigner but it was the funniest thing I’d heard for a long time

I'm surprised he didn't do a Paulie from Fat Pizza and call it the ALF

When Dunstall got in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame a few weeks ago, the Triple M bogans kept saying he was in multiple "Hall of Fames".

Regular SEN talkback caller, Johnny from Epping, said he's happy that "State of Original" footy is coming back next year

Commentators who have a tendency to say the exact same thing after a big goal:

Dwayne: "That is as good as it gets!" (no matter how regulation the goal was)
James Brayshaw: "What is happening?/What are we seeing?/This is crazy!"
BT: Shouts player name repeatedly

Anyone got others?

Also what’s happened to “wiggle room”?

I have heard “wriggle room” said around 10-20 times this year. Tim Watson the latest offender.

Will (Wiiiiiill) seems to deliberately put words that Billy mispronounces half on purpose in the Saturday rub quiz questions. A recent favourite was “nothing but a G thwang”

Also it must have been Warwick Capper doing the quiz here

Tom Morris: "they could have a rabbit up their sleeve"

Trade period feels like the best time of year for cliché lovers.

“He’s a required player”
“Exploring his options”
“Doing their due diligence”
“The player movement landscape”
“I believe, as things stand, at this stage, as we sit here now, he will not be seeking a trade”
“Contracts are not worth the paper their written on”
“Won’t be traded under any circumstances”
“Steady, hot and strong”
