    A lot of people write "should of".

    Like $heedy, in the lying clip about Harrison and Wills "he come from here....and he come from here too.".

    Robertson Crusoe? :D

    Alas, we seem to have moved away from clichés and more in to grammatical nitpicks now.

    Maybe he was combining those two singers, one famous worldwide, and one from our own club - Robinson Caruso?

    I hate the AFL becoming americanised in general

    Draft Combine, talk of two leagues ala MLB, NHL etc, if they get their way we'll be chanting Dee-Fence, Dee-Fence, Dee-Fence whenever the ball goes into our defense half. god help us.

    Americanization -- don't forget Vlad's talk of having two "conferences". What next, "tip off" time? Maybe cheerleaders after a goal? Or that bloody awful blaring music after a score - does that still happen at the short game cricket?

    I'm struggling to think of an occasion where it would ever be legitimate to use "should of".

    I'm up for the challenge.

    How about, "He should, of course, been willing to kick more often"

    (Yes - I know, I cheated by inserting a comma.)

    And seeing as we have moved onto hated media expressions, can I please add to the compendium:

    Stephen Quartermain saying "He shorts it" meaning he doesn't kick it very far.

    And any person who talks about an individual having to do better next time by stating that he must "re-group". How does an individual "re-group"?

    Perhaps that should be reserved for the Scullys, there seems to be a bunch of them.

    Yes, a particular dislike of mine is the use of "Z" in place of the softer "S". :-)

    Unless the origin of the word is French then the 'Z' is acceptable. Having said that, I'm in the minority. People view 'Z' as American but they need to look further back in history and look at who imported the 'Z'.

    Sick of hearing "From the get-go". (Basketball commentators, coaches and players use this).

    Prefer "Right from the start", "From the beginning", "From the very first bounce"

    Commentators such as James Brayshaw, Brian Taylor use this phrase quite often. They're not the only ones, I find many of those on SEN also use "From the get-go".

    The term "hand wringing" has got to go from around here. The biggest cop out i have seen for awhile.

    KOTD. It normally rears its ugly head (no pun intended) around this time of year, when was the last time the MFC were KOTD? I think it's a stupid saying, and surely we can use better words to describe a similar situation.

    I think the Travis Johnston and Brock McLean deals were the last time when it happened. Would you prefer BBTA - "blessed by the almighty"?

    I would have thought the activity is more obnoxioous than the term and represent a far bigger cop out.

    Sorry RR, it just makes me cringe when B59 and RPFC talk about getting KOTD. I actually taste sick in my mouth when I read them talking about it.

    BBTA is much better. But I wouldn't be going the early crow on the McLean deal, and in some regards the TJ deal either. Hopefully in about 5 years time we can say we were BBTA, but at this stage, we are only "better off", we haven't been BBTA...yet.

    I feel similar. I find it hilarious, though, when Jaded talks about being KotD.

    I will use BBTA but I cant control the other uncouth elements on this site. :ph34r:

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
