The use of singular “stoppage” and “clearance” when it should be plural

The lack of the word “if” when proposing any sort of hypothetical, e.g. “We get a key forward, we make the finals”. Not the best example that I could come with, but you get the idea. It’s rampant on this forum.

Came in here to say this.

I don’t agree with murder, and I don’t like the idea of incarceration, and I certainly don’t support the idea of making innocent people’s lives worse by taking away someone they care about but I would f**ken take a sledgehammer to David king’s f**ken face given the slightest f**ken chance to do so and bludgeon it until it looked like a burst watermelon if it removed the words stoppage and clearance in singular form, from AFL lexicon.

What a c**t

Anything that comes out of Dwayne Russell's mouth.

After playing relatively poorly, “we’ll take the win and move on”. Because when you play well, you tend to stay there permanently.

When asked how long a player is out for, short/medium term.....

"Stuck to our processes"

It's not a f#ckin' government department.


"Chaos ball" = $hit kick

 

[mcnulty]

“Scoreboard pressure“

Just say losing.

Craft

Learning the ruck craft. Forward craft

Etc, etc

One I've started to notice more and more from players, it's always 'super excited', 'super pumped', 'super keen' etc etc. I don't know why but it bothers me

"One wood". "He/she goals" annoys me because the word 'goal' isn't a verb.

 

[kickazz]

"we managed to get a few good looks" "we gave them too many looks"

We don't need to parrot all the horseshit from US sports

Yeah One Wood. It makes no sense.

Wheelhouse sux too

Don't you mean "take the W"?

 

[kickazz]

How has "one wood" not been mentioned yet?

The only time that should be used is when strong, fast twitch muscle players like Dangerfield kick the ball hard, a long way, but not with great precision. Basically like what a 1 wood is.

Don't you mean "take the W"?

I've heard people the word 'win' abbreviated to a 'W' and then further abbreviated to a 'dub'

"Asking Questions"....frigging hate that.

one wood its a ****en driver but they all copy each other and call it a one wood. Honestly how many golfers call it a one wood.

 

[Philth]

I actually don’t mind one wood, but it gets way overused now.

 

[010203]

'Home deck'.

 

[18082015]

"Gave him a bath"

 

[RandB]

"It's a foot race".

Well they aren't riding ****en bicycles.

 

[threesixpio]

To be brutally honest I’m going to say something that is neither unsubtle nor deserving of a clandestine thought process

 

[threesixpio]

It is what it is isn’t it

 

[PhatBoy]

One wood is even stupider because it’s one of 14 supposed clubs in every golfer’s bag. The amount of them for whom that is their best club is not ‘all’ of them as the afl analogy would have us believe.

I’m beginning to get the feeling that [team getting thoroughly smashed who end up completely shellacked by the end of the game] have a few more tricks up their sleeve
