Longmire's most used phrases

[Bloodthirsty]

Been wanted to start this thread for a while. Some banter with Triple B in another thread tells me it's time....

What are John Longmire's most used phrases? Every time I tune in to an interview or press conference of his, he rolls out his classic phrases every time. Most of them have a theme of understating things, or playing them down.

I'll get it started:

"He's an important player for us."

"Goodesey is a reasonable player."

"We're just looking for him to come in and play his role."

"Four quarters of hard, contested footy."

Anything else?

[Doctor]

"We respect (insert name of opposition) immensely."

Any Swans player:
"I was just able to play my role and the boys did well"

SPREAD!

[DamY]

"He's taken his opportunities with both hands"

"He's quick and also really hard"

"We only look at the game coming up on the weekend"

"To his credit"

haha all gold and true!

I actually watch less and less interviews with them all. It's like they are on repeat. Press conferences and media interviews throw abit more light

[dimelb]

"... just a little bit ..." - followed by sore/uncertain/lacking condition/more seriously injured than we thought/etc.
Matt Cameron seems to have picked up the same habit, just a little bit.

[Plugger46]

"We know he can provide a solid contest for us"

"Our players know that we need to bring maximum effort"

"We get them on our home deck this week"

[DamY]

Oh "we don't concern ourselves with what everyone is saying, we just focus on what happens within the footy club"

[hot potato]

"We haven't really mentioned Finals, we are still xx weeks from the end of the Home and Away".

"Kenny has pulled up really well , he played 63 minutes , so should be right to go again, but everyone has to compete for their place".

"The contested possessions were xx/xx so that was particularly pleasing for us"

THINKING : "I wish I didn't have to endure these boring platitudes I roll out week after week "
