I recall their commentary on the Winter Olympics one year, particularly the gymnastics. I could go on about some of their descriptions on certain techniques and floor repertoire but it may venture into the R18+ category. Much of it was hilarious.

Was that Snow Gymnastics HT?

Winter Olympics...I think. You're testing my memory. Regardless, they were covering the Gymnastics. "Battered sav" was one of the terms for the gymnasts performances.

Yes, and the figure skating... lots of "flute" and "sloop" references. And who could forget their summer olympics presentation with Fatso the fat arsed wombat and all of their grand final calls (NRL and AFL) with Lionel Rose's "I Thank You" substituting for the national anthem.

Great list of the nicknames they gave to players here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_and_HG%27s_State_of_Origin_commentary

Sorry, I just don't recall seeing the gymnastics at the Winter Olympics.

I think in the summer olumpics gymnastics, the "hello boys" manoeuvre was often performed...

That was the one ! Ha .."hello boys"... You're probably right then. (I was sure Gymnastics was in the Winter Olympics as well....? - My mistake then)

Yes, the 'torn hamstring' is one of the signature moves in winter gymnastics, seriously HT !

T'was the summer Olympics, their commentary on the Greco-Roman Wrestling had me in stitches.

Yes "Hello Boys" & "Battered Sav" saw light of day during the Sydney 2000 Olympics during "the Dream" best TV ever!! "don't forget to dream Roy" fatso should be revived as a national icon. Remember that African swimmer who took about half an hour to finish?? But he did it. Just Gold humour!

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
