what is the most annoying phrase in the AFL?

[Iamspock]

'Caroline Wilson Exclusive'

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Stand!

It's not "Stand!" it's "STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND!"

 

[GoldbergsGold]

"Umpires call"

After looking at a slo-mo replay from every imaginable angle we can't make a decision, so let's revert to what someone guessed.

I swear what they use is very outdated with the low framerate. Should be at least 120-144 fps with far more angles and higher resolution.

 

[Jugada]

At the coalface

 

[NorthernBastard]

Q1
Q2
etc..

"Umpires call"

What is the other possible solution?

 

[hr_23]

Running on top of the ground
Taking the ball at its highest point
Inside our 4 walls

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

The (insert place here) footy factory

 

[Corkintheocean]

Academy prospect for the Suns

 

[Rabish Binney]

'Fat side of the ground'

 

[Rabish Binney]

'Caroline Wilson Exclusive'

Don't forget her disclaimer:

"A source close to the club has told me"

Pretty much everything that spews out of Dwayne Russell’s mouth, to be honest. ‘Chaos ball’ being one example.

Player: kicks a routine set shot goal from 30m out
Dwayne Russell: "Un-be-lieeeeevable!"

 

[Mofra]

Taking the ball at its highest point

It's a weird phrase because it's almost the exact opposite of what most players do.

Unless you mark the ball on the way up.

 

[janty]

"Down on the boundary line, here's Lynchy" - Dwayne trying to convince viewers he's not 1700kms away.

 

[Romano]

Media slapping the compliments on way too thick when they are interviewing someone:

‘A wonderful human’
‘Greeaaat Blowwwwke’
‘One of the all time greats’

 

[hr_23]

It's a weird phrase because it's almost the exact opposite of what most players do.

Unless you mark the ball on the way up.

Exactly the ball is on its way down when someone marks it, does my head in

 

[canny30]

Essedon
Deee-fence
D50 (is it really that hard to say defensive?)

How we started saying it the yank way I'll never know....it's ridiculous

 

[Yellow Feathers]

“Give them their flowers”


Bucks started saying this a lot. Horrendous.

 

[Number37]

What is the other possible solution?

The default position should NOT be "the umpire was right until proven wrong" the default position should be Schrodinger's cat.

 

[Number37]

"champion"
"legend"
"star"

 

[Guardian Hawk]

"underground handpass"

"lowers his eyes"

If I had the skill (I definitely don't), I'd love to create animations that took the commentators literally. So an "underground handpass" would actually go underground, a player would momentarily turn into an actual "quarterback", a players eyes would literally be lower on his face, a player would turn into a "jet" or a "star" or a "lizard", etc, etc. Would be fun and call out the commentators at the same time.

 

[Scotland]

Player: kicks a routine set shot goal from 30m out
Dwayne Russell: "Un-be-lieeeeevable!"

From the paint. The fire starter. To perfection.

Dwayne is effectively AFL Live 2004 on XBOX.

 

[StillAtLarge]

“Give them their flowers”


Bucks started saying this a lot. Horrendous.

It's another Americanism that's crept into the vernacular

 

[Aussie_boy]

Has to be 'Unicorn', wouldn't be upset if Sam Darcy was referred to as one but not sure every young bloke in the comp over 6 foot 5 is worthy of the tag.

 

[MaxiBont]

Howie calling Nick Daicos, ‘The Champ’.

Is he the only player to win an AFL premiership?
