Subi boy

Unnamed opposition player you can use to downplay the performance of an Eagles player who had a massive game, but who you just don’t rate.

E.g “Waterman may have had 29 disposals and four goals but Subi boy was the dominant forward on the ground”.

Scott Selwood

A second round draft pick from 15 years ago, used as evidence the Eagles are capable of drafting good midfielders in the first round.

"Jeez you better hope Campbell Chesser can overcome an injury-ravaged 2-3 years and the fact he played on a half back flank on the rare occasions he has played, to become an elite midfielder in a rebuilding team"

"Yeah, but Scott Selwood"

"Touche"

Are you sure he wasn't just asking a question?
 
The funny thing is, I do actually agree with the argument that if you can't (for whatever reason) draft elite midfielders, than "elite ball users off the half back flank" is the next best thing. It's an argument he's made before and one I've backed.

My issue with it is that we haven't been able to do that either. Hurn was 17 years ago, Shep was 13 years ago, and we ignored Jetta when we could have grabbed him for bugger all when he first qualified for the draft and he tore us apart in a scratch match. Ben Jonson had big wraps for his ball use, and we delisted him without playing a game.

"We don't want to hear about your sex life, mate"

When someone says something that could be humorously misconstrued as a sexual endeavour if read in a particular way

Example
A: I spent the weekend rock climbing, it's hard at first but as my finger strength has improved the results have been amazing
B (quoting everything after the comma): We don't want to hear about your sex life, mate!
