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.

    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!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
