Slaters
Venom Power and Violence. and also " should have done better ".
The jockey calling the Nix games has it in a photo finish. Its the only game of the week i kid you not the young bloke and i turn the volume down on fox.
Wheres the game gone with the Harperisms??
Up like a gazelle in mating season
or a spawning salmon
Against Adelaide one of their mob had three options running into the box, he beat his man, didn't cross, beat his man again, then crossed, but by the all his options were covered by defenders.... Take it away Andy....
He should really have tossed when he best his man the first time, but he tried to beat him again, but by then it was too late, he had multiple options that were all by then closed down, his goose was cooked...... or geese rather, because there were more than one.
FFS. I'd rather listen to the two kiwi numpties.
Yeah Slater bobbed up with "and he gives it some violence" about 2 seasons back. This was lifted word for word by John Gregory (ex-Villa gaffer) who used it all the time on the Premier League telecasts.
(whether Gregory stole it from someone else is unknown and would be unsurprising).
After a bit (and no doubt being tipped off) Slater tweaked it to something else about violence.
Still just as lame though, but original and lame.
its just annoying that they go off on these tangents. How about just telling how it is and commentate the actual game and learn peoples names. FFS they get payed for the shit they produce.

anyone notice in cricket they use the word "Genuine" to explain basically everything.
THIS IS THE CUP! MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!
To be fair, that was a fantastic game. Going to regret it tomorrow though...
