I swear I heard Kane Cornes say, in relation to whether Collingwood preferred a tall defender more than a midfielder ( May vs Beams discussion), "Collingwood came into this (the trade period) "needing a need"

Yesterday, an SEN newsreader said that a player's trade "paperwork has been launched", instead of "lodged".
Terry Wallace was on trade radio comparing the Bulldogs forward line upon the completion of the trade period to how it was in the 2016 Grand Final. He got to Tory Dickson and comments that Dickson “was 3 or 4 years younger back then”

Campbell Brown was on SEN on Friday. The topic of Batman movies came up during a quiz. I'd say he Googled Christian Bale and looked at some of his movies, then read out...."he was in The Mackinist", aka "The Machinest" 
And....when asked who his favourite Batman was replied with "Heath Ledger". When Huddo pulled him up, he said he didn't like Batman movies because they were "sci-fi".Campbell Brown was on SEN on Friday. The topic of Batman movies came up during a quiz.

That's right, he was on a roll.
If he's on all week this week, we should get quite a few doozies

Reporter on Channel 7: "Wayne Bennett spoke with a rare level of candidness." Erm, candour gone?
Regrettably, candidness is ok with autocorrect

I think both are legitimate and while I prefer candour, you'd drive yourself mad sweating these when listening to sports media.
It's probably already been mentioned, but Mark Hutchings' name has an ing in it. He's a West Coast premiership player, not the oxygen rich brother of a deceased Australian musician.

News item yesterday on 3AW about who would replace Mark Taylor on the CA board started with, "retired tennis player Simon Katich... " (not sure if it was Tony Tardio or David Armstrong).

This little one from Michael Zappone a few weeks ago amused a bit. When asked if Usain Bolt would make it in the A-League, he said, "well, that's the big question mark." No, it's a whole question, not just a question mark

He might be. Like how some of those old commentators (Jim Maxwell, Ian Chappell) call Stuart Broad Chris, they're stuck in a time warp!

Famous
Every few minutes he says something is famous this or that.
The famous talkback number is...
The famous quiz on soon...
And sometimes for special effect he’ll say “the world famous”
