Declining/extinct footy terms

[kazzooka]

Punching the ball in a spoil is now being refereed to as fisting and fisted.... just like the sex act.

Have to say I hate any commentator, roo in particular, who uses the term catch instead of a mark..

Referring to umpires who no longer wear white.

... Hate the game being called AFL these days .....

I know. Another one that came up when I was involved with junior footy. I was coaching an Auskick clinic and a mother said to me "So you'll teach my little boy to play AFL". I hesitated for a second, wanting to say "About one in a thousand who do Auskick play AFL". But my anti-dickhead filter cut in and I gave a straight answer. It happened a few more times after that but I was ready for it by then.

I imagine if the equivalent thing happened in America with some Mum saying "So you'll teach my kid to play NFL" she would get a lot of strange looks from coaches.
Unlike here, actually calling their game "football" is not confusing.

Sad times.

I was on a plane and the pommy guy sitting next to me said his daughter's partner played in an AFL team, so I asked him what the guys name was. I hadn't heard of him when he told me, so I then asked him what team he was at. Turned out he played at some bush team. Irony was that the pom was getting upset when I called soccer soccer, and not football.

We always had to change the name of football to Aussie Rules when travelling to NSW and Qld to avoid confusion. Not sure what year that all changed. It was all made worse when the soccer crowd saw a gap with no nationally agreed code called football, and changed their name to football in this country (supported by all the news limited papers and fairfax in Sydney.

America not only have their football code popular in the whole country, but in some parts of the country the NFL isn't even the most popular league with college football the major form of the game.

Few years ago the word structures was used almost every time when describing a playing squad.

We don't hear it anymore.

Ball burster, worm burner and a raking left footer(there is no such thing as a raking right footer, hes' just a big kick!).

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

[Running Dog]

Seems they found a cure for "leather poisoning". Either that or maybe it's just that nobody "brings their own footy" anymore.
