When someone refers to a certain player's skill or mannerisms:
"I really like the way he goes about it"
Also, any silly terms/phrases which comes out of Derr-wayne Russell's mouth.
Including, but not limited to: Chaos ball, shake and bake, from the paint, footy gods.

"Within the four walls of the footy club".
Nah
Highest point is refering to the player (full leap/highest extension of arms to sky), not the ball. Thatd be idiotic.

Jim: So, Barry what did you think of the effort level of the team today? It was a brave loss, the footy gods were not on your side today. Can anything be taken away from the game?
Barry: Well we'll need to have a look at the vision and review the game. We needed to stick to our structures and play our brand but the manic pressure and congestion took a toll. Our players were forced to send chaos balls up into the forward line and needed to lower the eyes more. Players are not marking the ball at its highest point and need to be better at winning the aerial battle. Our mids held their own at the coalface, there will be plenty of learnings once we look at the vision of the game.
Jim: A.Player was playing well today, 35 touches, 2 goals?
Barry: A.Player has been a competitive beast for a while, a natural part of the leadership group who can fire up the lads. We needed a player to step up into the quarterback role and he has been instrumental in being our general on the field. Finding the goals showed us a bit more that could help him become a dual threat swing man. He has good dukes, and hears the voice regularly.
Jim: That goal off the paint was clever wasn't it? Arched his back, burned him off with leg speed and kicked the goal off a step. But it is also his gut running that helps as well?
Barry: Yeah he has added a lot to his body of work already. We hoped for a while to improve his gut running ability, the sports scientists created a specific data set for him and it has worked.
Jim: C.Player was also solid up forward?
Barry: Yes he was very instrumental in applying defensive forward pressure. His natural position is as a half back flanker, but he has been instrumental in playing the defensive half forward flanking role in our mobile full ground press. His ability to apply perceived pressure, fist the ball forward, go up as third man and cover territory have been much improved within his role in the structure. He is a very good role player becoming a bonafide excitement machine.
Jim: What needs to be done to win next week against the A.Team?
Barry: We need to go and look at our structures, make sure the players understand the zone we're teaching them. We need to apply more scoreboard pressure, start to caress the ball when in the forward line, make sure players understand to hook it back and have more deliberate run up. We need to stop letting the opposition have so many meters gained and rebounding 50s. We have to nullify B.Player, hes a genius and will be hard to stop racking up the hard yakka at the coal face. He is the type of player who can grab the game by the scruff of the neck, and can easily turn a game off his own boot.

I heard Derm call Lin Jong an excitement machine once and thought a) Jong is not that exciting b) you never hear any white player get called excitement machines.

Any sentence with the word 'elite' or 'bullish' in it. Elite in particular is so over used these days.
Every time that a player doesn't use the past simple. For god's sake, weren't these people educated? I suppose that after a while of hanging around people speaking incorrectly it might sink in. But then they don't even use the present simple correctly: they say, for example, "we went much better when he COME on" - so, in this sentence we see that they're aware that the past simple tense exists, but they merely choose not to use it in certain situations. It's impossible to listen to football players for this reason.
"Does things no one sees" & "Club loves him" - both absolute BS.
Wot.
