Mark Howard does this with Collingwood players, for some reason. Just a way of telling us plebs that he's a 'part of it'.
He does this with all teams, especially tall players. He’s obsessed with their physiques. Dwayne Russell does it too.

“Big Maxy” Gawn, Charlie Curnow, Harry Mackay, Lloyd Meek are just a few examples.

It’s the worst. So unprofessional. Imagine you’re new to the sport and trying to follow and some flog is calling half the players by their first name.
 
"connection piece"

James Brayshaw just used it when referring to Melbourne and other commentators, coaches and players have started using it too.

What is wrong with just saying connection like people used to do? There is no need to attach piece to it.
"he's a (insert private school wankfest) product"

When a player is in great goalkicking form - He's been kicking goals for fun.

Well, yeah. Why else would you?

Happens in cricket a fair bit too. He's been scoring centuries for fun.
i think the commentators curse affected Jamie Elliott on Monday as soon as Dwayne or whatever said that he was quieter than Jimmy Hoffa
 
Wheelhouse, one-wood, 'looks' - leave that Seppo shite out of the game.

JB and his private school references. Nobody cares.

"Shot on goal" being used for any shot at goal whether on target or not, that has been around for ages now.

And the ad nauseum "Pendlebury used to play basketball", "Gryan Miers with his unusual kicking style"




I'm more tolerant of things like 'lower the eyes' because it does make some sense.

It's commentators that don't watch properly or don't know the rules that piss me off the most. That and the idiocy/ignorance around score reviews. "It was brought in for the howler" or "so long as we get the correct result" - hundreds of 50-50 calls are made every game, we don't hold up the play for it.
 
the weird ass medical/interrogation references that Huddo especially loves to use "probing ball" , "probe inside 50" , "cavity of space"
 
Have a read of this site. Some of the most incredible and utter shite you’ll ever have the misfortune to consume.

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,
 
Anything Dwayne dribbles. "If you've just joined us...." only to say it again 10 minutes later.

Other things:
Using the word brilliant to describe what is a stock standard action from a professional sportsman.
Any commentator who uses the players first name with no surname.

And pretty much everything else covered already.

That's outrageous! I'll form a subcommittee to look into it immediately.

This post is crazy accurate
 
Referring to the skill in a certain position as 'craft'.

Ruck 'craft', forward 'craft' etc.

I cringe every time I hear it.
When you hear a player interviewed say “we’ve just gotta go back and work on our craft” or “he’s put a lot of time and energy into getting his craft right”….

Makes me want to cave my own head in with a packet of stale crumpets.

**** yeah it does. Fresh ones would take ages
 
"Simon Garlick says Luke Jackson is an infectious sort of bloke"

See your doctor at once.

Sure optimism can be infectious, that's a metaphor. But infectious is an adjective on its own and it doesn't mean what they think it means.
