Oh dear. Scoreboard nourishment.

[roskilde]

I read that last night.

Felt like the strange ramblings of a desperate politician or some corporate mouthpiece.

Never trust people who bandy about nonsensical neologisms.

Speaking of the scoreboard, our last 4 second quarters have produced totals of...

1.2.8
1.3.9
1.1.7
1.1.7

We have conceded 122 points across those same 4 quarters.

Not very nourishing. Clearly we require additional forward 50 provender.

[markp]

Jesus.

Nobody should ever say that again.

The only way you could use the word nourishment in a less inspiring context would be trying get your wife in the mood.

Hearing such bs as a player you'd feel less inclined to go to war and be vulnerable to injury from the severe cringing and eye-rolling.

That's the kind of nourishment required by a cactus or a weed.

[Yorkeys]

Well we accept the language term "computer virus" and that an inanimate gadget is a mouse. So how about: forwards starved of opportunity, opposition forwards feast on defensive errors, opposition's gluttony of possession, opposition mids dine out on our ineptitude, small forwards miss crumbs, Reiwoldt J got silver service, Hannebery underdone, Hill cooked, dumb butler, Long too salty, King dropped it like a hot potato, Carlisle stale, use by date (multiple choice), Lonie over cooked it, stiff cheese (all our many set shot points); all you can eat (Ess/Melb/Rich/Port).... so perhaps the criticism of Brett's modern terminology is a little unfair, there is precedent and the communications coach stressed: don't say the forwards are f'..ing hopeless and play like drunken sailors on pay night, count to ten and find a nice metaphor, one easy to swallow.

Nice collection, thanks for that. Even so, scoreboard nourishment is a bridge too far, even for a ‘woke’ individual such as myself.

[B.M]

He also said pleasing 7 times after the WCE win

Didn’t think you’re allowed to say that?!

[st.byron]

If he starts saying ‘strongly’, we’ll know he’s a Richobot. Strategy wise he’s ticking the boxes.

You’ve got to respect our consistency

[Impatient Sainter]

Scoreboard nourishment is code for "I dont know how to fix it"!

[markp]

He shoulda just said scoreboard needs more sausage rolls.

[asiu]

lol @ Richobot

very good

[MickThomas]

We won't drop Hill, I'm backing him in-
Sounds suspiciously like the stubborn favouritism lavished on Newnes n Weller.

Our club is doing what it does best, now.
Having a surprise win, and celebrating that for the rest of the year, ignoring the 14 goal losses that follow.
Apart from Thommo's years, and some of Ross Lyin's tenure

[sunsaint]

Notice the comment made it on Micks multi last night - Front Bar
Understandably they were killing themselves in laughter

[spert]

"Scoreboard Nourishment" sounds like tripe Scomo would come up with to deflect attention away. I think it means that the forward half need to pull their finger out.

[MickThomas]

Well, our losses to the Injectors and the Tigers were unpalatable

[B.M]

Just means we are missing goals, that would provide confidence

[The Billings Method]

"Scoreboard nourishment" is now officially added to the lexicon of AFL "bulls*** bingo." Think hamstring awareness, he's two weeks away, etc..

What are the other classics, forumites?

"Noise of affirmation" was Richo's contribution to the lexicon.

To be fair, Hill has more runs on the board than the blokes you mentioned - although Newnsie is definitely a good player, very good on his day.

If Hill isn't performing I think it is more likely to do with something which is not happening with regards to other players execution and the way he is being used within the game plan.

[B.M]

Noise of affirmation relates to umpires giving home interstate crowds more free kicks

Which happens.
