The latest podcast for Footy Fix, the "Best of the Votes" is very, very funny. Unsurprisingly Cameron Mooney and Ox feature heavily.

Just listened to the upload of Kevin Hillier's interview with Sam Landsberger.

When talking about Sydney's B&F, Kev referred to Luke Parker as Luke Power.

90% would be deliberate. See right through the act.

Brian Lake during the longest kick competition said "the wind is about 5-10k's miles per hour".

Not usually a Robbo basher but he kept on saying ‘everyTHINK’ during his SEN gig today. You’re a fricken senior journo mate, what the hell!

^ I heard that. It wasn't subtle, was it?! I was big "k" sound. No one knows how he's got to where he is in professional life. He must test well among super bogans in audience surveys

Matthew Lloyd on AFL trade radio...."one of the great recruiting coups." Coups rhymes with hoops.

He says "he's" instead of "his" too.

Divine intervention.

Praise.

I know it's petty, but the erroneous use of the word 'laconic' really annoys me. It's one of those buzz words that seems to be everywhere. It means concise, direct, not using a lot of words - it doesn't mean lazy.

They must be thinking of lackadaisical, I guess they both have a 'lak' sound. Perhaps i'm asking too much.

People trying to sound smart by using another word, which actually happens to mean nothing close to what they're talking about, sh*ts me to absolute tears

I've heard "laconic" be used to describe how players like Pendlebury and Bontempelli seem to slow the game down when they get the ball, or something to that effect.

Exactly, just use plain speak, you're not fooling anyone.

It was used to describe Jack Watt's approach to football in a fox article today. Journalists using it wrong is especially annoying, I can handle ex-footballers saying nonsense, but journalists have one job - writing.

Hell, I'll Google a word to make sure when I'm writing on here, it's really not very hard.

i quickly googled laconic and gerald healy cause i thought he has used this in the past. Read some of the written material and now Im doubting sentences containing the L word, whether the author meant it in its correct guise or not.

If any player comes off the ground under the blood rule, the commentators refuse to call it blood. Instead, they have a bit of claret coming out...

 

[Macca81]

Luke Darcy during a preview of the Cats vs Crows game said "Geelong have to be very careful in the first quarter because you can't win a game in the 1st but you sure can lose it". How the bejeesus does that work exactly?

Must have been trying to steal a cliche from motor racing, where you can't win the race at the first turn, but you sure can lose it.

Lol trust Darcy to * that up.

Classic from Lisa Sthalekar commentating the domestic one day cricket the other day, she said Victoria lost despite a 'galliant' effort.
