When he builds a tank! Unless you're working for Messrs Sherman.

He's a "spud"

[Mydee 288]

break out year -sounds like the player or club is about to experience a bad case of pimples

[daisycutter 28,681]

"run both ways"

wtf is that supposed to mean, i mean, c'mon who can't run both ways

(unless it's a slur on one's sexual orientations)

"I really rate x, y. z.........." .As if the football world really cares about what some anonymous football nut says.

He gave 110%

No, this means he has not given it all before. You cannot give 110% effort.

Redoubling our effort

This would indicate a previous total lack of effort.

"i blame xxxxxx"

[Bossdog 2,002]

"List clogger" should be banned from this site. It is the most offensive phrase as is "Spud"

Some of our players may not make it to star status, and some may not make it at all but they are all trying to make it as AFL players and that is all you can ask as members.

"I spoke to him at training...".

Gold.

[jazza 1,323]

But his stats suggest when compared with.

[Elusive Tunbridge 795]

Since we're being picky, the use of reflexive pronouns in the objective case. If this seems too precious, don't have a go at myself, because I don't mean to offend yourself. "You" and "me" are just unutterably low-class. Any Matt Burgan interview should help yourself to understand this.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Just because we have lots of excitement over our new draft picks doesn't mean the grammar critics can take a break.....

"Body of Work"

this one I first heard mentioned a couple of times by Garry03 but now Jason Taylor has pulled it out of his hat to describe Petracca

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-27/dees-new-dynamic-duo

I know Petracca is well rated as a junior but "body of work" to describe 2 years of a developing under age footballer stretches the meaning of the phrase just a tad

The crawling of "body of work" into footy lexicon is a curious one but follows the industry's need to overstate and hype to new levels.and borrow artists or academia's phraseology to justify itself.

Did Petracca get a honorary PhD for these 2 years also?

"shot on Goal"

thanks 'SO' much? how much is that anyway? is it very, or just normal thanks? So-So

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

"insert name here".. says hi

[Whispering_Jack 28,089]

"Engaging in groupthink" - used often here as a pejorative to attack other posters by people who aren't able to put forward a valid opposing argument against those with who they disagree.

(I'm sure that most posters here agree with me)
