I've never heard someone say give me a spell and football has absolutely changed my life upon hearing this phrase.
No one in Sydney would have any idea what I'm talking about and I think that's really grouse.

Don't forget that other atrocity - "going beautifully". Now used to describe the most menial function that a chimp could carry off with no fuss. Favoured by Andy Maher and James Brayshaw.

'Loves the club'
Really not sure why it annoys me, maybe because it's so overused.

I'd love to hear "Hates the club but stays here because he's paid a lot".
Could be applied to a lot of mature agers who we suddenly find out were pining for another club all that time. Amazing.

Personaly the most anoying phrase in afl is "Umpiral Contact" when an umpire bumps into a player or "50m for dissent" when players have a beter view than the umpires do

More to do with bigfooty culture and the overuse of the word "nuance, nuanced"

I think if you use the phrase "rooting for" on Australian broadcast TV you should automatically lose your citizenship and be put on a one way flight to the US

"we'll wrap our arms around him"
I might have missed something here... but what's wrong with that?Commentators describing female AFL players as inside bulls.
Like really?
REALLY!
The term 'craft' irritates me. It's crept in to the vernacular of almost all non-independant thinking footy broadcasters.
BT - literally anything…..
The thing is, 'insufficient intent' doesn't even describe the rule.

But a bull also has 4 legs and a tail - yet they describe human men as 'inside bulls'.
I don't think they mean it literally.

I’ve been on this since Kingy was first given a platform on which to speak. It has to be rubbed out of the country altogether before I commit a hate crime
