I had a look at the updated version of the "Fighting Fury" DVD and they showed Spud's interview after the loss to the then lowly Saints in 2002.

"That was totally unacceptable........ it was un-Richmond like......... it was un- ................... ummm...... ...............yeah-nah"

It's not AFL but MX had a quote from the girlfriend of Terry Sheringham (plays for West Ham in England) on a celebrity quiz show.

Host: "Who was Winston Churchill - a rapper, a president, a PM or a footballer?"

GF: "umm ..wasn't he the first black president .... I saw a statue of him and it was black"
