How is it that Russell Robertson, Mitch Robinson have interchangeable surnames?

The upward inflection thing is definitely much more of an American thing than Aussie or Brit. Even US tv presenters do it a lot
The work experience student writing the match report on the AFL site said North's win over Hawthorn was its first since Shaw was officially appointed during the week.
Cleavy
Hall of Famer
most media outlets said the same thing, to be fair, using those words.

Aside from stating the obvious nothing too bad with that. They could've gone with "North's win over Hawthorn was its first since Thursday night.
Bruce on Friday night praised Hawthorn's "extramarital activities".

That's how dopey Abbey says it, and I'd say the other commentators are being told to do so too
Her name isn't the only thing she can't pronounce

This made me angry for some reason
Abbey also congratulated 'Shaun' Edwards on his 250th. She's not the first - Roos and others have done it as well. FFS, Shane is a 250-game premiership champion, Shaun is a former rookie who played 24 games and was delisted by two clubs.

Ha, was that on 3aw tonight? I gather he meant "homogeneous", even though I suspect that was the wrong word, anyway.

I remember Jesse Hogan in his earlier days was often mistaken for Simon Hogan, a 22 gamer for Geelong from 07-11

ha ha, yes, that was a bad one by Daisy. She said it twice, so it wasn't a slip of the tongue. She goes, "Tim, I heard you propose the question....".. "so, I propose this question to you"
That's a shocka

do it
I hope Pickers picks out Kano Cornes for his classic effort this morning.
Had people calling in for a quiz and the question was "how many picks did Richmond have in the 2004 draft."
A couple of callers guessed wrong and while working up to the next caller, Kano said there would be a bonus prize for the person who could name all 5.
Next caller came on the line and oblivious Kano proceeded to ask how many again.
I'm not sure the guy had heard the giveaway but he answered correctly.
Pure rolled gold.
