    One week at a time
    Forward Press

    &

    Boundary Rider: Very well played today, 3 goals and 31 touches. You must be happy with your form so far this season?

    Player: Yeah nah look the boys played really well today, we're starting to find some form and it was always going to be tough playing these guys.

    You are allowed to answer a question about yourself, it won't sound selfish. Why not just say "Thanks mate, very happy with my season at the moment and i was surprised to snag 3 goals as well" Something along those lines.

    After a win:
    "We knew they'd come out hard but we were ready for it."

    Next week after a 10 goal loss I just want to hear, "We didn't think they'd come out hard this week so we weren't ready."

    Test against the best

    Reckon it's been used against Collingwood every week this year.

    What a crock. Geelong's top of the ladder for a reason ladies and gents. Unbeaten for 9 games.

    The problem is there is hardly anything original said by the players during an interview. The clubs media people have got them acting like robots. Most of the times they don't even really answer the questions and just spit out all the standard (and new) cliches and so on. It's actually refreshing when you see a player provide more than the standard lines

    Yeah a favourite of mine.

    What did they do?, go and turn him on at the switch, give him a mission if he chooses to accept it, he's not a new debit card that before you can use it you have to 'activate' it.

    Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!

    Kick off - it's not bloody soccer!, it's the greatest game on earth and it gets bounced or thrown up to commence the game.

    Bouncing ball - a Dwayne Russell special here, we know it's bloody bouncing! Hearing this comment is akin to walking in the dark in an unfamiliar house. You know and dread there is pain coming, the only difference you are a dead cert to hear our mate Dwayne'O'vomit the bleating obvious.

    The Grand Finale for me:
    Quarterback - it's not bloody NFL!, if that doesn't send you into a meltdown warranting a '000' emergency call you have ice coursing through your veins.

    Hate Dwayne Russell forever telling us it's a "ball in" rather than a boundary throw in.

    It's so annoying if he's calling the game I switch him off (I don't have Foxtel so it doesn't happen often)

    This thread could really take off, especially after this weekend's games.

    Thankyou for starting this D_W, I can see myself venting through this little baby for the rest of the season and beyond.

    The gift that keeps on givin'

    That's gold Jerry!

    I hear ya Lucas, being a Crows supporter all home games are generally covered by Fox which means I must endure Dwayne'O's dribble.

    It's not a 'ball in' goddamit!!

    I could become the 1st member of TS to succumb to heart failure while online.

    Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!

    Obviously the most obviously overused word is obviously. Obviously all the players obviously start all their sentences with obviously. Obviously every answer to any question is obviously obviously.

    At the risk of upsetting half the TS community - "on the pine".
    But I'm guilty also - used "1/4 back" in one of these threads.

    .. meanwhile there could be some terms the wider football community could use to satisfy the fantasy football world... I for one would certainly like to hear more of "he's a spud.." from the commentary box....

    @whips - props for putting your hand up on that one, commentators though should know better because everyone has to hear it.

    @D_W - I'm a 100&#37; behind using 'spud' as a reference for players poor efforts.

    @Wrighty - there they go again, the bloody obvious! Damn the 'two halves' description.

    Further to that.......'capitulation'. Mate some teams can lose by 4 or 5 goals in a competitive match and the media jump on and say they capitulated. Are you kidding me? Get rid of it!
