Similar to 'what is the difference between a trotter and pacer' in harness racing? Who ****ing knows
Maybe it's a variant of leg speed, in that the person has quick feet when they dance? ;-)

I've had enough of "with the outside of the boot". Commetti started it, Peter Matera's goal was probably the most memorable one, Whately is running with it now as are many others. I'm not sure when you kick a banana you strictly use the outside of the boot in any case, it's more that you drop the ball at an angle across the boot and less of the ball is over the boot compared with the drop punt. I'd be happy to see that one shelved for while.

The sad thing is Dwayne could potentially be a reasonable commentator if he quit with the inventing of lame catch phrases and hyperbole.

This comment is gold class.
Every time he says "That's as good as it gets" I feel like turning the tv off because I know the excitement is not going to get any higher than that, so what's the point watching any more?

Years ago someone told me that the term "checkside" originated in SA and actually meant kicking backwards defensively
When the term came to Vic the meaning was changed to kicking with the outside of the foot

Nah!
Then you avoid the fun of watching the Scott Bros. and Mick doing their nut.
We got 2 weeks out of 3 with the Scott Brothers! Was marvelous watching them.

Right on. You use the exact same part of your boot to kick a checkside as what you do for a drop punt.
