Cliches that need to be banned on this site.

[iv'a worn smith 1,979]

With all due respect, having said that let me say this. The real issues can be put to bed in one foul swoop. No need to cast nasturtiums, but even though we have a long road to hoe in 2012, with the right incentivisation, I am sure we will get the job done. Of course, when posting on any forum, it should be remembered that people in grass houses shouldn't get stoned and never hatchet your chickens before they are counted. However, when in doubt, you can always goose the cook that laid the golden egg.

For all intensive purposes, it would appear that with what the MFC administration have done thus far, it all goes well for 2012.

I try and avoid cliches 'like the plague'...

Perhaps you should also try "to" avoid such cliches??

[Tony Tea 2,792]

On a different tact, all beat, if it all goes well, cliché avoidance should be a basic fundamental.

I agree, some people just don't see the big picture.

The one that got me for a while was that a player seems set to 'become the next Leigh Brown'.

Having said that - whats footy without a liberal dose of cliche? Even more important to the fabric of our game is the mixed metaphor

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

<insert player's name> is a spud

Thanks TT, Um, yes I was joking. Football can also be full of irony.

Talls take time.

Talls take time.

Why does that need to be banned?

That should be in a sticky thread banner headline - Landers constantly forget this.

'Fitzpatrick has done nothing, he's a spud' would be a recent example of this.

It's less the sentiment than the cliched use of those three words in sequence.

The sentiment isn't cliche, either. It's fact.

It's like saying the sun rising in the east is cliche...

[Retrospective 104]

Who will do the banning? Will the use of a proscribed cliche lead to Rhino pulling your entire post?... or just deleting the offending part.

What will the penalty be for transgression... do we need some MRP type guidelines?

"talls take time"........ sentiment OK, wording poor... negligent, low impact 90 points

"Patience is a virtue" .......... out of the play, medium impact 150 points 1 week with an early plea.

"getting games into the youngsters", "youth policy", "will be top flight".........out of the play, high impact (each of these really [censored] me) no early plea, straight to the tribunal and a minimum of 6 weeks

Please be more Pacific about what you're referring to.

Erm ... that's why I said it was less the sentiment.

And it's not really comparable to a definitive fact like the sun's rising and setting, because there are occasionally exceptions to the 'talls take time' maxim/cliche.

[Chook 14,616]

It's what's called a "truism." Something that is so obvious that it really need not be said.

"Talls take time" is not necesseraly so universal as to be a truism, but it is generally well-known enought that it doesn't need mentioning.

Escape goat. Anyone here ever said escape goat?
