Declining/extinct footy terms

[The Speaker]

And somewhere in between it was "sold the dummy". When did candy start?

Candy isn't even an Australian term.

thanks BT

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

"In the Van"

"Follower"

Back line and forward line are now offence and deefence (as mentioned earlier)

"A good old donnybrook" is now a melee without most of the donnybrook.

'He tried' has become 'no genuine attempt'.

'The nineteeth man' is now on the ground in the first 3 minutes.

"Getting Dragged" isn't an issue.

Coaches don't 'give 'em a good spray' on the field.

'The coach' has become 'the coaching group'. They look like tourists keeping together.

AND

'Here's the scores from around the grounds....'

That annoys me so much. I've got nothing against St Kilda or Ben but i hate it when channel 7 broadcast those games.

Unfortunately it's worked its way on to Focx and the radio like an infectious disease.

 

[Harris Specter]

And to become the best footballer he perfected the illegal "not-so-illegal-but-frowned-upon" disposal. Besides, I've been hearing the term more and more lately, so your first post is largely incorrect anyway.

Blah blah blah, all I can hear is whining. I'm saying that incorrect disposal hardly gets pinged these days, hence my first post.

 

[Superstar swan]

" boy oh boy woweeeeee!!!!!"

 

[Doss]

"the wing"

Now, "the fat side of the ground".


What the hell does that even mean?

 

[clogged]

And somewhere in between it was "sold the dummy". When did candy start?

Dwayno.

 

[The old campaigner]

"Split down the middle."

 

[Doss]

"Runs with the ball" is now "gets and goes".

Dwayno strikes again.

Blame Bruce. That fcuk dragged american sport terms screaming and kicking in the vernacular.

[The old campaigner]

[Gavin Excell]

Rucks go at it

 

[Gavin Excell]

Peter Landy- when scores level:

"And Hawthorn and Geelong are on 50 points, each of two"

Superb stuff

 

[SCHUMACHER]

Hit the boundary!

 

[JUBJUB]

"{insert player} lines up for his 100th goal for the year"

 

[Gavin Excell]

"{insert player} lines up for his 100th goal for the year"

Yes that is long, long gone

 

[yaco55]

Hacking.

Stacks on the mill.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Kicking in danger

 

[SCHUMACHER]
