They call the game AFL, not Australian Rules Football or even just football
I was having a particularly bad day in the Emergency Dept. and my next patient was a kid with a jumper and boots on....I said "Oh what do you play??". He said "AFL". I said "geez you look a bit young for AFL....maybe you play Aussie Rules"!!
Pet hate of mine....AFL is the league, Australian Rules Football is the bloody game!!!

They may know a thing or two about the game, but since we're all venting…

Overweight, Four-n-Twenty munching, beer-swilling deadshits who relentlessly get stuck into their own/opposition players for being 'shit'…wouldn't know the first thing about how hard it is to play even one game of league football. Put down the pie and go for a run.

Really gets my goat.

Yeah I had a patient who said "oh my son plays AFL" "oh what team does he play for??"
Her answer: "Aspley Hornets"
I thought it was just a rugby states thing!

They forget that players don't get that top-down TV view of most of the field and get mad when a player doesn't see an open man.

They think they're coach material because they can see the next player in a handball linkup
Sorry dad...

They ask 'who's winning?' when the score is on the top-left corner of the screen
mum...

They can't give an opinion on a game of footy without resorting to stats.

'So, who do you think was best on?'
'Priddis had 34 disposals @ 74% DE'
:mad:
