I think re the ‘highest point ‘ argument it should be ‘he meets the ball at HIS highest point’

Or his hands' highest point.

Forward craft...terrible
Also and words dwayne says

 

[My name geoff]

‘They’re out!’ - Commentators cream over the fact they can see a free player down the line more than they do goals.

‘Pure’ - a word used by ex-player commentators to glorify the art of playing football. As if it’s some sacred discipline that they are true masters of.

My missus cracks up EVERY time they say "and he gets a fist in", when there is a spoil,
she swears they say "and he gets a fisting!"

Jason Snell went close

Jason Snell went close

I don't like to think of that moment involving Snell.

Horrible injury.

"at full stretch" is just fine

 

[LordLucifer]

"bends it back"

 

[LordLucifer]

"centre-wing"

 

[Leeda]

meat in the sandwich.. don't know if it is a 'jargon' or if it is my imagination.. just don't pout and put the two together...
spreading too much wanton dubious duff..

Where's that ****ing Footy Factory? Calder Cannons or something? The term annoys me.

"Here's debutante Xavier Douchehat from the Calder Cannons Footy Factory"

**** off.

 

[Baird]

"Scoreboard pressure". What the **** do they mean by this?

 

[Jeff76]

Every time I hear “Nothing doing” I turn off the tv, go out the back and beat the shit out of our dogs, makes me so angry.

 

[Footy 1st]

Not sure if previously mentioned but when a low to ground throw happens: "shovels it out" I get irrationally angry, just call it a throw

 

[PT Bar None]

"Knuckles it"

Derrrwayne's new one. I've heard him call several times recently. Surely as a commentator "punches" is easier to pronounce and flows better. Makes me want to knuckles him in the face!

Yeah - I picked up this on the weekend's call from Dwayne for the first time: "Stratton with the knuckles". Took me a few moments to figure out what he was on about. I kept looking for someone belted behind play. Nope, just a spoil.

 

[pablo668]

I'm pretty sure BT was saying 'Hand Candy' for a little while there, I don't think he thought that one through.

 

[Hulio]

“The Martin’s” and “The Dangerfield’s”

 

[RedmanWasHere]

“The Martin’s” and “The Dangerfield’s”

The Gary Ayres'.

My missus cracks up EVERY time they say "and he gets a fist in", when there is a spoil,
she swears they say "and he gets a fisting!"

A favourite of mine, too.

Whenever someone says 'he had a crack,' I'm always thinking how blocked-up he'd feel if he didn't have a crack.

 

[onebillsdrive]

Come to play........havent they all come to play

 

[Sub_Zero]

Apparently everytime a player kicks the ball they are "chiseling" it

The fact that Dwayne Russell spent a whole season trying to bring "from the paint" in to the AFL vernacular still sh*ts me.
