Re: Verbal Faux Paus

Not sure who said it but around about Dyer's era.

"he's very tall for a short player"

Peter Mckenna , something along the lines of it would be good if all the players had red hair so that it would be easier to tell them apart.

What about the players who say all goes well instead of augurs?

Re: Verbal Faux Paus

We all know how articulate footballers and commentators can be.

From the Richmond board right now:

You didn't need to say it. That's one of those general conceited statements in life that everyone mutually agrees to - like "I like sex".

'Conceded', maybe?

Today, someone congratulated Mark Doran on becoming a father, with the person saying: "well done; good effort"

Doran replied:

"it was a 'good effort' by my wife, but for me it was just an amazing ride"

yeah, that's a whopper, and she's still the political reporter for Southern Cross News

my favourites are probably Daniher's "the planning will come to fruitician on Saturday", Robert Shaw's "we were hamsprung with injuries, and BT's "this will go down in the analogs of history"

Re: Verbal Faux Paus

for some reason, Dean Brogan's sister was interviewed on ABC Football today, and in her effort to tell us he was a novice when he went into last year's grand final, she told us he was a "novelist"

"he really was a novelist ruckman in last year's grand final"
