The Footy Dictionary is back, in a big, Elliott-Himmelberg-kick-into the-Torrens kind of way.

For our debut SYN Radio episode, Harper Pestinger and Hamish O’Brien are joined by Connor Buttigieg to chew the fat on the heinous linguistic misdemeanours from the week in footy.

Can teams really ‘feel each other out’? Is it possible for defenders to ‘take it up’ to small forwards? And can commentators claim that kicks that don’t clear the boundary fence have landed in a grounds neighbouring river? (Looking at you, Dwayne Russell)

Plus, Lachie Plowman steps under the now-infamous journeyman microscope, foreign correspondent Darren "Donger" Dixon joins us from Denmark with a very special guest, and Harper has a big bone to pick with his beloved Bombers cuddling up with the enemy.
