Love it

[robrulz5]

All very good. Seen it before but always good to read again.

[Jazz_84]

Brereton was there quite a few times haha

[Rossoneri]

I dare say that none of those quotes are correctly attributed to those people.

While Anderson is a dickhead, there is no way he said that.

[Megan]

Last time I saw this it was American gridiron players supposed to have said it, no doubt someones taken it and changed it to AFL personalities, and made it more applicable in Australia - good effort too.

[upndownhille]

Good onya Dermie! Got a few mentions!
Where's Crawfords "A Burg-u-lar broke into my team mates home"

[Gyoza]

yeah they seem very very fake to me.

"That kick was absolutely unique, except for the one before it which was
identical." (Dermott Brereton)

This is just an altered quote of a famous Murray Walker F1 line..."The car in front is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it...which is identical"

seems like a bit of hack work to me, surprised it was on the official EFC website.

[KaaN10]

Hah

They were awesome.
