what is the most annoying phrase in the AFL?

[Lingsface]

The “fat side”.
What the hell is this?
Was this when Tom Hawkins was playing… but he’s retired and they still use it.

It is kicking to the side with more spacce, used since under 12's.

 

[Lingsface]

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

Ruck 'craft', forward 'craft' etc.

I cringe every time I hear it.

Sorry repeated this in my post absolutely agree!
Let's bring it back a bit, was a good word but has been overused to the max.

 

[Zevon]

Elite

Came here to say this.

He’s got an elite kick
They’ve got an elite midfield
He’s an elite ball user

Every second player is elite at something. It’s basically just come to mean “good”.

 

[WillHayward]

"fascinating" used constantly on all the panel shows, radio and podcasts.

"Superstar" which means in you are in the top 3 players at your club.

 

[Purplrrr]

World record pace…
I love our game. But we’re the only ones in the world that play it.

 

[dexter_]

Midfield bull really grinds my gears

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Mojo is way overused by Dwayne Russell. But most things he uses annoys me

 

[76woodenspooners]

Carlton have a top 4 list

That one makes me giggle, but different strokes for different folks I guess

The problem is that most commentators have the vocabulary of a six year old.

 

[Romeoh1]

Wizard. Lizard.
They aren’t your team mates- call em by their proper names for crying out loud.

"Todays commentary led by Kelli Underwood"


but seriously:

Hamish's "and change"


David King: "Don't get beat by what you know"


but the worst is

"lick of the ice-cream"

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

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

oh god i hate that one

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

The front of a bloke?

the space WHE/ the players who have high GPS numbers run around for 120 minutes lol

Dude, what’s with the WHE fixation?

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

Dude, what’s with the WHE fixation?

probably in denial that its the great man's last year so i'm more reminiscing on his greatness than anything

 

[MisterMarcus]

"Obviously"

Obviously it's so obviously frustrating when players obviously use the word obviously as obviously a filler word and obviously repeat it ten times obviously in their answers. Obviously.

 

[Rich01]

,

"fascinating" used constantly on all the panel shows, radio and podcasts.

"Superstar" which means in you are in the top 3 players at your club.

‘Star’ means they have just done something good.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Derwayne saying 'puts it to grass' to describe a fumble or dropped mark multiple times per game drives me insane.

 

[SC_Power]

"Obviously"

Obviously it's so obviously frustrating when players obviously use the word obviously as obviously a filler word and obviously repeat it ten times obviously in their answers. Obviously.

Well, it’s obvious when you say it like that, obviously

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Well, it’s obvious when you say it like that, obviously

'Yeah, na' works better.
