How about a repository for dumb quotes from AFL players throughout the year? We can start with some of the zingers from the captains during the annual team photo event.


Nat Fyfe:

"I would remove the suspension (element) from the Brownlow eligibility criteria."

Luke Parker:

"I'd give Sydney its COLA back."

Really should be a broad AFL 'darndest things' thread. Then we can have contributions from Kennett and Cochrane.

Jeff Kennet after R1, 2013;

“Clarkson must be sacked NOW!!!”

That'd be a ****ing long thread for you to moderate, you'd have to do it full time.

The issue I see is kids are exposed to betting too much in football. When kids refer to the game at schools now they're asking 'who's the favourite' rather than 'who are you cheering for'," Wood said. "We should enjoy the game just for the game."

When you're bombarded by this stuff you don't always question it. It's normalising gambling in sport.

”What a great promo that would be for ‘King Kong’, get Adam Goodes down here to do it.”

It shits me to tear how much the players say 'obviously' and 'you know'

 

[Crabapplepittard]

“Internally”
“Within these four walls”
“We’ll wrap our arms around him”
“Our brand”
****en drives me crazy hearing that shit.

When Boyd said "I have to leave the game because of Damian Barrett and people on bigfooty". If that was Paul Chapman he would've won 3 flags in response

I win the thread...

“A lot of people might think I’m silly because Richmond have a lot of good players ... but I think Collingwood have a better list, and a younger list, who in a couple of years’ time can hopefully win a premiership,”
