wouldn't like to get a squirrel gripped, but the term is a beauty,
and self-explanatory too.

also like the "don't argue"

wormburner is another good one - used to describe grubber kicks.
the old chestnut which probably has a history of it's own "the up
country punt kick" is always a risk worth taking for Rex or others
(speaking of which - did people hear that Rex and his family got beaten
up?).

And we all remember the bit that followed those words about 30 years
ago...... don't we?

I've always been fond of "Stacks on the mill", and the words "Richmond"
and "finals" have been known to give people a laugh in recent years......

Certainly not a favourite but I'd like just one of the Tv or radio
commentary copycats to explain the provenance of the phrase "knocked up

it's from back in the day when men and women played on the same team,
before this became a collingwood-only thing. tagging was much tighter
back then too.
