matt byrne shows his ignorance

[bayman]

today on 5aa matt byrne was talking footy & mentioned who was playing in the grand final & showing how smart he is with football & then spoke of the magarey medal on thursday & when amanda asked 'whats that for ?' he said 'its the best & fairest for the sanfl'

now if you are going to get on radio (or other media outlets) at least know your facts as we all know the magarey medal is for the

'FAIREST & MOST BRILLIANT PLAYER'

GET IT RIGHT MATTHEW

No big deal i wouldn't have thought.

[bayman]

No big deal i wouldn't have thought.

well i do, i think it is a kick in the teeth to an historic award

[GWW]

Different words saying the same thing as far as i'm concerned.

your kidding i hope

[Zorro]

I reckon if you surveyed all of these passionate SAFooty.net posters the majority of them may not get the wording totally correct. Does it really matter? Play on.

picky, picky.

i would have got it wrong, but i get most things wrong!!!!!!!

[silicone skyline]

The term comes from the times when any best and fairest award was labelled as fairest and most brilliant player.
It was common back in the 40's to describe a best and fairest as such, but as time rolls on so does our terminology.
I think the ignorant one out of this is Amanda

[Dogwatcher]

Definitely agree SS.

If Matt Byrne is bad how bad is this Amanda person? She had NO idea what it was.

[smac]

In her defence, she is the host of a talkback radio show based on gossip, knitting and other bollocks and has never put herself up as someone who gives a crap about footy.

Matt Byrne constantly punches above his weight with respect to footy, but I think he was trying to do the right thing here and is being unfairly criticised.

In the immortal words of a great philospher*:
BIG DEAL!!!!!!

how good was it listening to the GEELONG song 15 million times!!!!

Saying 'Best' instead of 'Most brilliant' = Ignorant

Tough call ....

Wrong? Technically yes. Bit pedantic to make a big issue about it? yes.

[bulldogproud]

At least they mentioned the SANFL! Just wish their sporting show would do so occasionally!
