Brilliant Nico! Redolent with the history of the game. How long have you been following? Particularly liked: the Catholic, the Pentridge doctor and over the jam tin - none of which I have heard before.

Is there an origin to the 'screamer' besides the roar of the crowds as someone takes a spectacular mark?

I reckon I have been watching footy for about 55 years. Many a great Saturday arvo spent at the Lake Oval. The banter was non stop. By the way I enjoyed going to Victoria Park. The Pies supporters were rough (yes missing teeth is not a myth) but always good for a laugh. Carlton supporters were the worst. Bertie Johnson from North was famous for a couple of kicking incidents. He was referred to as an Ankle Tapper.

I think screamer goes back a long way. A high mark was always referred to as screamer. Teaser took them regularly.
Does anyone really know the meaning of Butters Up ???
Its trotted out by commentators regularly, and its stupid. It means nothing, except backup up. What has that got to do with butter?

I really hate the term "product" as in NSW product Callum Mills
Oh yeah. Especially when Essendon players say it like that. I just don't know how to feel. Happy, sad, angry...
Some terms from school footy.....
Chewy on ya boot! - When someone is taking a shot at goal it was said to make them look at their foot for chewing gum and put them off.
Miss miss cocky's piss - was said to also put them off, presumably to detract their mind from the task at hand and to think of a cocky relieving itself
