Juddy's sledge vs West Coast was a ripper.

WCE boys getting stuck into him about his "bung" shoulders and how they were stuffed and Juddy's reply of "It's because I've been carrying you blokes all these years" was brilliant.

Cricket seems to have some quality ones. I remember Mark Waugh getting involved in a sledge (can't remember with who) when Waugh was canning him about how poor or how much of a hack he was and the reply to Waugh was "at least I'm the best cricketer in my family".

So what you are saying is you want every player to do the Buddy arm outstretched turn to the crowd Kath n Kim look at me look at me I'm a peacock you have to let me fly celebration after they kick a goal is that correct?
:rolleyes:

No, what I was saying, Nimrod, was that Johnson's non-celebratory "how good am I" poker face was not really modesty like Geelong peanuts tried to claim, but was in reality, more of a show-pony effort than Buddy's "outstretched turn to the crowd Kath n Kim look at me look at me I'm a peacock" celebration

Don't kids go to school in Geelong, or do they let them out before lunchtime or something?
 
I am not saying he should give up footy and start doing stand up - it was just an amusing anecdote that I now wished I had never bothered to post...:rolleyes:
It is mildly amusing and I'm glad you posted it. Steve Johnson seems like a bit of a character, albeit a bit of a tosser. No different really to all the other small crumbing forward tossers like Milne, Ballantyne, Didak (who cop plenty of stick on here.)

There was no reason for you to call me a "borring %$$# with no sense of humour". It was mildly funny, nothing hilarious, but it showed a bit of his personality, which is why I commented. Please don't feel discouraged from posting similar amusing anecdotes in future :thumbsu:

Along with the rest of us. Glad you found it amusing though! :thumbsu:

It think it's a great sledge, because it confuses the hell out of him and has him thinking about it for the rest of the game, lol
Let's be fair here, we're talking about Brown. He could have as easily said "how are you" to get that result.

So your having a go at Geelong fans for having a poor sense of humor, and you follow up by posting this gem?

Have you got more solid gold like this one?

there's a book around "The art of sledging" that has all the classic cricket ones. I guess cricketers have a day or two in the course of a match to think about the sledges, thus making them wittier.
player was James ormond in the above sledge.

Mind if I start pointing out all the unnecessary portions of your posts?

Geez, why's everyone getting so mad. It wasn't a sledge, he was having a good game and was a bit of smart ass, brown found out what it meant and took it with the humour that it was intended, no harm in that. It was humorous
 
Told his opponent Campbell Brown on Sat night that "I accept cash or card" on numerous occasions during the night.

Brown had no idea what SJ was on about and questioned Gary Ablett after the game. Ablett chuckled and told Brown that the payment was for front row seats at the Stevie J show!!

Nice to see a bit of humour still in the game and Brown taking it in the right spirit.

arrogant and ineffective.

Geelong fans on Big Footy are so cute the way they band together and stick up for each other. They remind me of sugar ants, no real venom to their bite, but swarming towards any perceived threat and defending their nest. No real thought behind it, just operating on pure instinct.

Would you guys care to comment on Steevee Jay's sledge or did you find it unworthy of comment and you'd prefer to chat with me?
 
Mildly amusing, but it is obvious that SJ is no Mensa candidate.

The best sledges definitely come from cricket, with my all time favorite being:

Greg Thomas was bowling to Viv Richards in a county game. Viv missed a superb out swinger, and Thomas said, “It’s red, round and weighs about 5 1/2 ounces.” Next ball Viv hit Greg Thomas out of the ground and replied, “Greg, you know what it looks like. Now you go and f*****g find it!”
 
arrogant and ineffective.
Cant see why your knocking it. When your playing as well as Stevie J is at the moment theres nothing wrong with a bit of banter and humour alike to talk yourself up.Steve J is a quality player and he is great to watch in full flight and i guess he knows it too. I think that talk was designed more about putting your opponent off than anything else and it looked as though it worked. I quite think it was very effective considering he had 28 possesions and 7 goals
 
Gee, you're easily amused.

Rodney Marsh to Ian Botham in an Ashes match: “So how’s your wife and my kids?” Ian Botham's reply - "The wife's fine. The kids are ******ed !"

That's a sledge.
Mark Waugh to Jimmy Ormond: "Are you still in the England cricket team? You were crap 4 years ago"

Jimmy Ormond to Mark Waugh: "At least I'm the best cricketer in my family"
 
Bet he doesn't say that to Stevie Baker.

Aint much of a show when Baker plays on him.

Played on him. Get it right. Baker is a has been and should retire gracefully.
 
Best cricket sledges


Glen McGrath to Eddo Brandes: Why are you such a fat c***?

"Because every time I f*** your wife, she gives me a biscuit"



Javed Miandad to Merv Hughes: You're not a bowler. You're just a fat bus conductor.

A few balls later, Merv gets him out, then runs past him and calls out, "Tickets please!"
 
Haha, yeah, Mark Waugh was on the end of some absolute pearlers. He got his own in though. Remember reading a sledge where it was a Shield game between NSW and SA. Waugh was taking ages to mark his guard and Jamie Siddons in slips has enough and calls out, "c'mon, it's not a ****ing test match". To which Waugh replies, "of course not, you're here".

Also love the Dean Waugh one. Plays and misses three times, bowler (unsure who), "you must be ****ing adopted".
