ha, yeah nah, I haven't noticed that improving among AFL players. Even Curtly Ambrose bothered to learn Dwayne's name when he was interviewed by Pipe a while ago, but lots of bogan footballers call everyone "mate"a text received by watto and lyon read how impressed the listener was with American guests in that they are courteous and always address the hosts by their name. watson then added that its happening with afl players too (addressing hosts). I am not so sure about this
