"And thats a Clive Peeters goal of the day"

"eee eee eeasy"

I mean, how many contenders for goal of the day can there be in one match?

I actually don't mind that. They had a field day with the Wilbur Post recording with Jaydyn Post playing on the weekend.

Hello.

Thank you for saying that! It's not just Tony Shaw, it's practically everyone now!

THERE'S TWO ELs people! Goddamn...

I dislike the Chocolates one , but my pet hate is
"failed to convert"
Conversion is a rugby term.
In AFL you cannot convert a point into a goal.
The action of kicking a goal does not involve any conversion.

"The next goal is crucial" .... geee you think ... in a game where scoring goals is the objective, the next one is crucial ??????? ??///

 

[leaper]

A KBism from the past, "time for think music".

 

[AG]

The 'quarterback role'. Just call them half back flankers or rebounding defenders.

Hello.

Yeah to be honest i dont mind it either!
But to hear eee eee eeasy get played when you're side is down,
Just Kill me!
Maybe they could play it once or twice per game rather than flog it 3 times a quarter.

The best one of these was when a side just made mistake after mistake and it eventually resulted in the opposition kicking a goal and Rex Hunt exclaims as only he can "AND THAT'S A CLIVE PEETERS STUFF-UP OF THE DAY!"

*eee eee eeasy*


I had to laugh

"Thats a bad miss"

As opposed to what, a good miss?

 

[cancat]

'Early doors' - it just means early.

 

[Davo23]

yeah, nah

On the contrary, this is the greatest expression ever invented.

It is a footballers dream answer: it allows every footballer to answer any question he is asked, without having to commit himself to say "yes" or "no"

yeah, nah FTW

gut running,,, I mean wtf? what does gut and running have to do with one another?

maybe its code for 'We still think Cuz is on the goeys'

 

[footyfreak]

Think it's a horse racing saying originally actually, but not sure about that, and not sure of how it came about.

So, all in all, I'm a big help.

back in the 1890's during the great coco shortage, Chocolate was at a premium. So many clubs offered to pay their players in highly sort after chocolate if they managed to win, hence the term, "got the chocolates."

"he looks a lively type" .. worst "saying" in footy i reckon .. of course they are a LIVELY type .. they are ALIVE ARENT THEY .. worst saying ever

"chewy on your boot", when opposition player lining up for goal

 

[Magpie Ink]

Ya Mum wears army boots.

 

[Belnakor]

"quarterbacking"

"riding shotgun"

 

[Permanence]

the latest trend is to say "gut running" every match these days.

 

[clogwearer]

said it before and I'll say it again...'slipped at the crucial moment'.

So if he'd slipped a moment before (or after) everything would have been ok?

What moment isn't crucial in a contest?

 

[Eagle_Bay]

The 'quarterback role'. Just call them half back flankers or rebounding defenders.

yeah this pisses me off also, its not gridiron ffs. imagine if a gridiron commentator started using hbf, ff etc positional names, the red necks would go ape shizen

 

[Woodside Hawk]

"Tiggy touch wood" - what the hell is tiggy supposed to mean? And do they really mean 'touch wood'? Bit of a mix up happening there, I think.

Agree with earlier poster - "Mercurial" - overused and misunderstood.

 

[Spluff]

"chewy on your boot", when opposition player lining up for goal

That is the worst at the footy - it's always some batshit old woman who has no idea what is going on, too.

 

[Dylz48]

I always hate how every shot on goal "bending back... but not enough and it goes through for a point".... Listen to how many times it's said in a game, it's like a stuck record.

Also the term "they've come to play today"...

I hate the term shot on goal
