Might have been covered earlier but I’m pretty sure it’s scientifically impossible to ‘get your DNA back’. Without it you probably don’t exist.

Then they put Brent Harvey in front of a microphone.

They also pride themselves on their impartiality …

Why can no campaigner pronounce 'trajectory' any more? Everyone seems to have decided the j is actually a d.

Congradulations has taken over.

Tagging has been replaced as a term. It's coming.

Tagging is now "awareness". Heard one of those flogs call it that on SEN before the Saints game

Awareness. LOL

 

[Sainter1873]

Heard on RSN this morning ‘get the cracks whipping’.

Someone picked it up and they laughed about it.

BT is the Joe Biden of AFL commentary.

He probably just had a cold tonight along with some jetlag.

Gerard Healy in the Port-Dogs game: ‘Zack-Thircher’.

Huddo, sitting next to David King on the First Crack: ‘As you always say Kingy, injury is your best friend.’

Funny to me coz King probably says ‘health is your best player’ about 100 times a season, often in Huddo’s company.

According to Jobe - Swans power athletes are at their best when they ‘run forward of the ground’.

“ somethink “ “ anythink “ drives me completely mental. Where the **** is the k in something or anything ? “ if player x played in Melbourne is another lazy cliche rolled out relentlessly.
