Anything McAvaney ever says about Lance Franklin or Cyril Rioli.
McAvaney in the Cats v Pies match 3 minutes before 3/4 time "You just get the feeling that if the Pies can kick four goals in three minutes....." WTF? They've struggled to kick four goals in a half, now they're suddenly going to kick four in three minutes? So what, they would go into the final quarter only 12 goals behind instead of 15?
McAvaney should be banned from commentating Hawks games, and any game involving indigenous players.

A few seem easily annoyed by words or phrases i would just call traditional footy speak thats unique and been around for years
It's footy, if you want sophisticated words or poetry read a book.
Anyway a few pearlers in here. One I've noticed a lot lately is when players/media say something like, "we come out after half time and really lifted". Bill Brownless is the worst offender. anyone else heard this?

The one I can't stand which the majority of commentators use these days is:
[statement] followed by, "no doubt about that".
And it's almost always about something where there is considerable doubt. Drives me mad - a stupid way that commentators try to add authority to their crap.

Any sentence that contains the words "Essendon" and "brave".
And there's been about 500 of them this year. Essendon may well be the bravest team in the history of the competition.

Mark Harvey sacked.
Not so much an over-used saying as the sound of Tom Harley's voice. Every time he speaks he sounds like he's doing one of those flipping vitamin ads!
Yep, he is certainly annoying.

'Y U Mad??'
'U Mad Bro???'
'Oh He Mad!!!!'
Some of the most overused saying
'U Mad Bro???'
'Oh He Mad!!!!'
Some of the most overused saying
"Playing it cute" or "too cute" in reference to fancy plays that just don't work. Did the players turn into fluffy baby rabbits or something?
Usually during half time or the wrap up Bruce McIvaney will be talking then say the last bit of the sentence really slowly and pause between each word
"demons play essendon this week and then..finish..with...the bye"
"demons play essendon this week and then..finish..with...the bye"

Yep, thats just footy talk though, anyone you speak to who plays football doesn't know how to use "come" in the right context. Its a past tense verb you idiots!

"First and foremost..."
Reckon Neeld has probably cracked triple figures on that one since his appointment.
