what is the most annoying phrase in the AFL?

[FreddyTwoShoes]

“Give them their flowers”


Bucks started saying this a lot. Horrendous.

I’ve never heard that but I hate it already.

 

[Bukk]

Put a blanket over 20 players!

 

[Yellow Feathers]

I’ve never heard that but I hate it already.

Go to 8.00 mins and listen

Gerard Healy - "The GWS"

Just heard "The Carlton" tonight vs Suns. That has to top them all.

 

[kickazz]

Meaningless seppo bullshit alert:

Wheelhouse.

 

[Xtreme]

STAND... STAND...... STAAAANDDDD.... PLAY ON



NOT 15

 

[Osho]

All thise words just to say "I am a useless middle management w***er who tells other middle management w***ers how to be w***ers"

Consultants are just more fancy scam artists,

I am excited to see a Funkhouser on the Aleda team. Long live the Funkhousers!

 

[Osho]

Just heard "The Carlton" tonight vs Suns. That has to top them all.

The F#$%a!

 

[UltraEgo]

"Fresh airy" seriously wtf is that

 

[Dez!]

"I'm Dwayne Russell and I'm being joined by Kelli Underwood, Dermot Brereton and Gerard Healy in the commentary box for this game."

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Meaningless seppo bullshit alert:

Wheelhouse.

I will add in quarterback

 

[situationz]

"Worried him out of it"
Seriously, what does that even mean?

 

[Doss]

Dwayne Russell every single time someone takes a vaguely contested mark, even when it’s very much not out of nowhere - “out of nowhere!”


Every second commentator’s favourite meaningless filler descriptor right now - “one wood”.

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Pendlebury… time/space/vision/etc… played basketball in his younger days.

 

[Number37]

"Leigh Matthews...something something...3 goals"

 

[dexter_]

Dwayne has been using "the big steal!" a lot lately

 

[Partridge]

Howie calling Nick Daicos, ‘The Champ’.

Is he the only player to win an AFL premiership?

Just on that. Here's an absolute howler that has become a pandemic.

"<Insert player name> has won a premiership".

No he hasn't. No player - EVER - has done this. It's a team sport. Teams win premierships. Players play in them (or in premiership teams). Anyone who repeats this demonstrates their complete inability to think or to act like anything but the most braindead AFL-endorsed sheep.

Howard has effortlessly slotted into being one of the most annoying, incompetent, and probably cringeworthy "commentators" all in one. The personification of the media fanboy. Horrendous.

 

[Leon]

“Got the chocolates, got the choccies” in reference to a team winning.

Ugh.

 

[ceebsaf]

'he just wanted it more'

 

[Altum Volantes]

“Give them their flowers”


Bucks started saying this a lot. Horrendous.

Uh oh...

Not the Velvet Sledgehammer too...

 

[Hoops]

“Give them their flowers”


Bucks started saying this a lot. Horrendous.

What does it mean?

 

[Altum Volantes]

What does it mean?

It's basically saying 'give them the spotlight' or the 'due reward' etc.

Like an Opera Singer at the end of a performance or a Beauty Queen.

Pretty sure its crept into use over the last few years via youth and gay culture more than anything.

Its a...strange one...to have bouncing around in the AFL media.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Credit to the boys

 

[portmantwo]

Referring to 'clearance' or 'stoppage' in the singular

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Commentators are starting to overuse 'the disappointed father' when talking about coaches demeanour when giving a spray...and it's starting to sh*t me to tears

Honestly, coach as a 'father figure' thing is getting overused a bit in general. They are grown men in a professional sport, lets not patronise them so much.
