Upon an umpire awarding a very long 50 metre penalty, you often hear a commentator say "I'd like to buy real estate off that umpire." You don't often hear the reverse:
West Coast v StKilda. The WC full back kicks out to a teammate about 8 metres away. The mark is paid.
Commentator 1: "That's not 15!"
Tony Shaw: "Chee, I'd like to buy real-estate of that umpire."
I'd like to sell real estate to Tony Shaw.
The cheque would probably bounce.

Mal Blight would insist they throw it up.

Many years ago when the jogging craze hit our suburb, there were guys running around at full speed with stop watches. Initially I assumed they were real estate agents who were trying to justify phrases like "5 minutes from station", "2 minutes to shops".
