Your favourite mixed metaphor

C'mon everyone.

I think it's time we laid all our eggs on the table.

 

Stan Alves: "He gets a big tick on the back"

Mark Maclure: "You know what? We'll just have to wait and see how the deckchairs fall"

 

I wouldn't eat that with a ten foot pole

"Its no skin off my back." - Olisik, Nov 14th Training thread.

Missed the apostrophe too :P


"The [censored] is going to hit the roof."

I don't think it's a mixed metaphor, but what really annoys me is when people say "That will learn you!" Now call me stupid.....but wouldn't it be "teach?"

A colleague once told me I was as loose as a cannon.

you must be an age journo,

my dear watson?

Jack Dyer " He extends his arms into the air like giant testicles to take the mark"

Not really a mixed metaphor but it still makes me laugh.

"Their coming home with a wet sail". Somehow in football speak this means exactly the opposite of what it does in sailing.

I don't think it's a mixed metaphor, but what really annoys me is when people say "That will learn you!" Now call me stupid.....but wouldn't it be "teach?"

I think you will find that the people who say this have watched one to many Simpsons episodes.


You shouldn't throw wood in loose beavers.

Just like he's had a few pies on the go recently.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
