Forever since we’ve had one of these.
Ok, I’ve transcribed fifteen classic AFL commentary moments. And I’ve taken out some words. Your job is to fill them in.
If I’ve put ****** that’s just taking an extra word out that makes it too much of a dead giveaway what moment it is. You are only filling in the blank (underscored) bits.
Exact wording accepted only.
Max three attempts at a time (once I’ve told you yes/no, you can go again). When you get one right, wait 15min before having another crack to give others a go at getting one.
