The best thing about Ch 9 not having the cricket is that we no longer hear Michael Clarke's commentary. I wonder if Davey would be worse

When new Wallabies Eddie Jones coach referenced the Wallabies beating the All Blacks in Dunedin in 2001 to retain the Bledisloe Cup, Jones said ''two thousand and twenty one''

Matthew Hayden: “When Australia and India verse each other…”
That’s used a lot by kids, sounds so childish coming from an adult.

Aker on the Today show this morning talking about Ginnivan, gooder than evil. I think he meant the lesser of two evils, but who knows.
A couple of days ago on SEN they were talking about Toby Greene getting the GWS captaincy, and used the term "toe the line" to mean "cross the line" or "tread close to the line"
"Yeah we know Toby likes to toe the line on the field at times...."
Literally almost the exact opposite of what 'toe the line' means.

Bogans in the footy media have turned phrases such as, "there are questions about his ability", to "there are question marks about his ability".

One thing I reckon is dopey is when the almost always unnecessary "years of age" clarification is added after someones' age is mentioned.
If someone says that John Citizen is 31, it's hardly gunna '31 anythings' other than his age. It ain't gunna be 31kg, 31 million dollars in debt, 31 light years away, etc.
Tim Watson says it all the time. It makes him sound schtoopit

Historically teams that are defensively in the top 6 win the premiership.
Yet there will be times when this isnt the case.
