what is the most annoying phrase in the AFL?

[MagpieExcalibur]

(insert here) winds back the clock with (event) annoys me to no end lol especially if its a reasonably young player 30+ players i can understand but if its Rachele "winding back the clock" it loses the legitimate meaning to the phrase

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

Insufficient intent

 

[Clark G]

BT saying ‘electric’ or ‘electricity.’

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

BT saying ‘electric’ or ‘electricity.’

a little bit of e-lec-tricity!

 

[Obeanie1]

Commentators describing female AFL players as inside bulls.

Like really?

REALLY!

 

[kidkenobi]

“For mine”

 

[PhatBoy]

Inboard
Defensive transition game.

F**k off

 

[SC_Power]

Selling some foot candy
Could that be the firestarter (when ten goals down)
It’s coming back but not enough (when a commentator has no idea on the trajectory when missing a shot for goal)
They’ve come to play

 

[Magma]

chaos ball

 

[Cyclonus]

Laconic. It doesn't mean what they think it means.

 

[iameviljez]

boy oh boy wowee.

That shit works on radio, where the extra colour is required - it's like Rex Hunt from the 90s, but just a little more... lame.
On TV, where the colour is right in front of us, it's superfluous, distracting, and it actively gets in the way of enjoying the game.

 

[Pistol Night]

Carlton have a top 4 list

 

[Rich01]

Sees something he likes.

 

[RonnieRaven]

Any commentator that complements a player for drawing a high free is vomit inducing.
They did it for ginnivans first on the weekend.

Why aren’t they getting the same treatment as Freo’s Sonny Walters got through out his career?



Make of that what you will

 

[Cmarsh]

"deee-fence".

 

[Cyclonus]

"deee-fence".

Typical American move by extending the first vowel.

Defence, offense, romance, covert, etc.

 

[Generalissimo]

"Time clock"

What else do you measure with a clock, Einstein?

 

[Occidental]

The “fat side”.
What the hell is this?

was playing… but he’s retired and they still use it.

 

[nurries]

Elite. Cornes was using it a lot during the Ess V Car game and i dont think there was much elite of anything going on.

 

[md20]

Referring to the skill in a certain position as 'craft'.

Ruck 'craft', forward 'craft' etc.

I cringe every time I hear it.

 

[Demon in Hell]

Under the lid at Marvel.

For ****s sake its a roof.

 

[FrustratedTiger]

Stand!

 

[pico]

"Scoreboard pressure"

As opposed to just, you know..."winning"

The front of a bloke?

 

[Lingsface]

Was a fan, now the over use of the word "craft" is giving me the shizzles.
