Footy word for 2023: The Trip.
“Has he got the trip?”
“He’s got the trip from 50.”

Nathan Buckley at half time of the Blues-Tigers game: "They took the gas off the pedal"
Brayshaw has the ability to commentate well, but he's lazy. Just says the same things over and over again, such as 'good ball'.

Nathan Buckley in fine form in 2023 - "They score most of their goals from the front half".
No one in the English-speaking world says "promulgate" more than Eddie McGuire.
It's somewhat cringe worthy, it's like he found a word and wants to show off that Eddie so smart.

What about a KICK being described as a BALL?

Yes, it embiggens us, and so on.
Ha! The Yanks have made it a proper word:
Word created by The Simpsons added to US dictionary
The word "embiggen" - which was first heard on The Simpsons in 1996 - is added to Merriam-Webster.

I've mentioned before that the Triple M guys have said a million times in recent years that the ball has been "fisted", but never "punched"
There's rarely such a thing as a slower ball in cricket now; it's an "off-pace delivery" or "pace off". How about 'ship off' with ya jargon bullshit

don't get me started. When some "new" words filter through the dopey, bogan footy world, many of the yobbos overuse them.
"The narrative" is a phrase that comes out of the mouths of people who probably don't know what it means, and I've said before that Hutchy uses "ostensibly" when he means almost the complete opposite

How do you feel about the usage of "successive"? Example from garry lyon.
There were 4 successive games on the MCG.
I prefer consecutive.

I give bonus points to anyone - anyone! - who pronounces the word “vulnerable” correctly. Sarah Jones

Dermie on crunch time this morning. "Let's exonerate Geelong from the equation..."
I think he meant "remove" so may have been looking for "expunge"?
Fair enough mistake maybe, I couldn't recall the ex word meaning remove either and had to look it up for this post.
Funny that there was possibly a tiny pause as he said it like he knew he'd stuffed up, but decided to plough on regardless.
It's ok Derm, I have sympathy for you on this one.

I'm 90% sure I heard bucks on commentary earlier this quarter, call SPP - Sam Powell-Pecker
