Great Footy Words now lost to the modern game

Aaaableettt!!!

Actually that one has come back again.

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

He's put it through!!

Aaaableettt!!!

Actually that one has come back again.

So has "handbags!"

 

[skilts]

Stab kick. Flat punt. Drop kick. Place kick. Quickly disappearing - Torpedo.

The pivot.

Flick pass, fresh-roasted peanuts - these two seem to go together for some reason.

It used to be that the end of the ground that a team was defending was referred to as that team's end. That the Brownlow is for the Fairest and Best Player.

Nail-in stops. Woollen guernseys. White shorts for away/black shorts for home teams.

Screamer. Shirtfront. Ankle tap. One-handed pick-up on the run. John Beckwith would've been proud of that kick out-of-bounds (not for bloody touch!).

 

[Betfair Pro Punter]

in the old days the ruckman who were 1 dimensional were called 'dinosaurs'

Six VB mate...........ta.

If you want to see some old school wet weather footy, watch a couple of minutes of this!

Was cacking myself when Ablett takes the mark and falls side on into a pit of mud. Just missing two girls in bikinis and would have been a great day to be out in the mud.

 

[Dr Pea P.I]

crow-throw

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

So has "handbags!"

There is a reason for that!

Joel Corey, Gary Ablett and Jimmy Bartel, all in the top 10 in the comp for contested possesions.

 

[sabre_ac]

Centre Half Forward almost

Currently known as "Mathew Pavlich"

 

[Butane]

'Dropping the ball' (now you can fumble it to the ground if under pressure)

 

[acuguy]

If there was a more exciting or complete player than G.Ablett i would like to see him. He had the speed and tenacity at the footy of a Judd, the marking and physical presence of a Carey and the freakish goal sense of our amazing Aboriginal players.

Ablett is God on the football field.

That was the best footage. He would carve up football today, imagine giving Ablett easy kicks 55m out from goal.

 

[graystar]

"Its a goal, a beautiful goal."

Some of the old AFL dvds I have commentators always say that.

 

[Stakerz]

Brayshaw just said wormburner on MMM

Peanuts, shillin a bag

[crackers57]

"show us ur ****!"

What comp do you play in?

 

[crackers57]

Six VB mate...........ta.

Come down to our ground mate......it's pretty common saying still

 

[mainboardboycotter]

Unfortunately for many knowledgable fans, 'KICK IT!!!' will always be around being advertised by many ignorant and highly hysterical football goers who seem to always be emphasising how nervous they are.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Pack mark.

 

[Mobbs]

trying conclusions
home and home
challenge final
recruiting zone
fifteen!

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Can I have a four 'n' twenty with sauce and two cans of VB.

3/4 time speeches like this:

[Copernicus]

"Great decision from the umpire there"

 

[jacko57]

use to sit next to a woman and her family at the bears/lions and she would scream chewy on your boot everytime the opposition had a kick for goal, we sat on the fifty metre line and she would even do it when they were kicking for goal at the other end. Worse thing was that when they kicked a behind she took credit for it. We all use to call her chewy

Did she look like Chewbacca ?
